All stories are about inner and outer human conflict. Your characters' goals, motivations and the adversities they face will always be dictated, or at the very least strongly influenced by your ideology and world view.

This explains why I'm terrible at writing anything, or coming up with good overarching plots whenever I want to run a TTRPG. Because I don't really understand other people very well.

it also normalized the idea of "space exploration is about doing a capitalism" for way too many people.

Which is hilarious, because exploring space is probably one of the worst ROI things that there is, next to trying to economically exploit the lowest depths of the ocean floor.

Tangentially, I consider NASA to be an integral part of the US Military Industrial Complex and I find the English-speaking left's somewhat uncritical embrace of it to be strange.

My answer is: People like Star Trek, and want a thing like that IRL.

If you go to space and reduce the state's involvement and corporations will seize on each and every single thing they can to save money and exploit people more. The marginalised will be the hyper-exploited the further into the periphery you get. The central core planets might be better off.

New MandaloreGaming review has a game that touches on this idea a lot.

I don't see what this guy being a crypto-dude has to do with the argument you're making here. I'm not even sure what that argument is, specifically, tbh.

Name me a mass esotericist movement that didn't either fizzle out, or ultimately serve as a funnel to fascism.

I'll wait.

I'm absolutely certain that science does not "confirm" whatever you think that means.

Both the head & body are individually quite round. However you have yet to complete 100% roundness, because the two are still distinguishable between eachother.

The groups I know which organize women workers are also the groups arguing for better language. The liberal groups I know who argue against inclusive language are the groups which often are not in solidarity with women workers when there are strikes or conflicts between bosses and workers.

In light of that info, I retract my previous argument.

You are probably right on that account, tbh, and it's a good point worth considering.
