The people running for the lifeboats are all of the Muskies and Elon brain chipped billionaires thinking that Mars is going to be their refuge. (It’s not, broken magnetosphere + toxic PCB soil = dead colony)

You’re not wrong at all homie

The timeline if Trump wins in November…

Railgun tech isn’t there yet, the bottleneck is currently what’s bottlenecking a lot of higher tech, and that bottleneck is energy generation, storage, and consumption, so that’s why we don’t see more railgun and laser based tech.

Well that and their racism

Biden isn’t the one sending storm troopers onto UT Austin’s campus to crush pro-Palestinian protests, that would be the Republicans, remember on election day that both sides are absolutely not the same, and Trump sure as fuck does not care about Gaza or Palestine, or even Israel really if we’re being honest here. (Well or anything else but himself)

Just greedy short sighted fools who are willing to abase themselves to scum, or they are sociopathic monsters who don’t care about anything but whatever they want.

Mercenaries fight for money, these kidnappings and enslavements, along with the Russian conscription process in particular, are more along the lines of a slave army, since it’s absolutely not voluntary for many of those people.

Wagner are the mercenaries they use:

Senior Russian soldiers basically rape and murder new conscripts as a training method:

You should see how many American politicians are just as corrupt for less money, I was surprised when I saw Devin Nunes was only making $15K from one of the bribery schemes that was supporting him while he was in Congress. I guess it all comes down to knowing your worth to the scumbags you work for. 🤷‍♂️

I guess you haven’t seen all of the news reports and government outcry over Russia basically luring these guys to Russia then kidnapping Indian and Nepalese dudes and forcing them to fight, same with North Koreans, a whole bunch of South Americans, and several other Americans.

The guy is literally a wannabe Stalinist Communist from Austin freaking Texas, he’s been there since 2014 fighting and propagandizing alongside the Russians this whole time, he’s apparently been an avowed socialist since he was 16, yet you’re trying to act like the CIA had anything to do with this fucking idiot.

He was arrested over selling pot in the 90’s and started hating America and was too brainwashed, desperate, or mentally inept to realize that Russia was never really a communist country, especially not under Putin, and kept working with the Russians despite all the bad shit they do.

Rest in piss, fucking idiot.

Solter-Hunt thinks that the perturbations caused by the conductive shell could poke holes in Earth’s protective magnetic shield, potentially allowing more harmful cosmic radiation to reach the planet’s surface. An extreme, almost apocalyptic scenario could see the weakened magnetosphere allow solar wind to begin stripping away Earth’s atmosphere as it had done to the atmosphere of Mars billions of years ago. That, however, is certainly not an immediate threat.

Imagine we go extinct because satellite and plasma dust allows our atmosphere to get stripped by solar winds, similar to what it’s like on Mars, that is a wild f’n scenario to consider, life is just so delicate to maintain.

It’s definitely not as comedic as the trailers have shown, it’s a fairly serious series and deals with a lot of depressing stuff, overall I loved the first season, but knowing the fate of one of the major factions that I identified most with kinda bummed me out.

Yeah that’s most of what I was speaking to when I posted this, but Japan can also be very similar in that regard from what I’ve read and heard.

Japan and South Korea need to get to fucking or they need to become more open and attractive to immigration to stave off population shortfalls. There’s shitloads of south and central Americans looking for stable nations to call home, same with Africans, Middle Easterners, and south Asians, these folks are willing to serve in their militaries, contribute to their economies, and they bring fresh blood and ideas to cultures and industries. There’s also a whole lot of other westerners who are super into Asia in general but especially Japan and would move there in a heartbeat for the right incentives.

How about meeting with the Mexican president to plead for action, since he’s either too scared to take on the cartels, or too corrupt.

“My kid is freaking out and yelling ‘KOBE!’ when he shoots the basketball because of the solar eclipse! Is Kobe some new sun god these woke heathens are making our kids worship in schools instead of JESUS?!?”

Or set a Solar standard for the entire system.

Good luck with the novel, writing is another great outlet, take care.
