This old post got crossposted today in one of my subs and fascinated me. The top comment brings up the fact that even in OP’s wildest dreams only “extreme poverty” gets wiped out, with a super lib reply being “you can never eradicate poverty because it’s human nature to want to be rich and the poors are lazy and blablabla”.

I’ve always found it depressing just how bleak the liberal outlook on the world is, where even the far flung future isn’t safe. Even in their “utopic” scenario that eliminates borders, people just have to suffer because that’s the way things have to be. (Not surprising that OP is the “TWR guy” but I digress)

No wonder SCI-FI as a genre turned me off until somewhat recently.

"The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth"

How many times will a third world country get its life expectancy halved for the idea of liberal internationalism to die?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
