      The Expanse was mentioned elsewhere on this thread and it still gets me how the dream of colonizing Mars has, since the Golden Age of Science Fiction, been this openly hostile "Why don't we just go into space and leave all the shitty people on Earth" fantasyhttps://twitter.com/catvalente/status/1371887414785028099 …

      Which is another thing I’ve been circling lately Literature told us since jump that 30-40% of the village is a bunch of id-machines who don’t care about anyone but themselves & love starting shit to feel alive But now we have to deal with that legislatively & we do NOT know how

      The Expanse is partly about this toxic mindset leading to an inevitable brutal war between Mars and Earth My own take on it is it actually softpedals how ugly this would become based on the demographics of who currently wants to go to Mars

      We ALL want to escape to another planet and wash our hands of the motherfuckers we're forced to share this tiny blue marble with But the ones for whom this even feels halfway like a realistic fantasy are, you know, the motherfuckers -- the already rich and powerful people

      To me that's always been the thing about fantasies of space colonization -- the more you try to bring them in line with reality the less they're about what you're running TO (Mars is a fucking red desolate rock) and more what you're running FROM

      And how bad shit has to get if you're willing to leave the only planet that has, like, water and food and cute kittens and shit to live somewhere that doesn't even have air Just because it's far enough away that people can't follow you

          And then you get the Belters who are willing to run EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT and live as subsistence miners just so they can get away from the Mars motherfuckers.

          In Asimov, it turns out the spacers were the assholes and it turns out the people who stayed on earth will eventually found the civilization that spreads across the Galaxy.
