Anyone who "doesn't want politics everywhere" is right-wing by definition. Sorry. This is what science is.

> Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, not TESCREAL

It's all the same thing. Escapist denial is escapist denial. Accelerationists and doomers are the same people.

Well, that's what it means, right. People who think technology can solve social problems, people who think "The Future" will be better than the past. That whole TESCREAL milieu. Where's the disconnect?

> You would think this place would instead discuss The Culture

I can't see it. More of a Musk thing, by association, surely? Totally out of the cultural frame.

I associate anything "post-cyberpunk" with pure stale tech-bro these days, so I don't touch the stuff.

Too many people who can't pick up on how uncomfortable they're making everyone, not enough moderation.

It's a serious problem - the cost is stupendous for anyone without big business money, and if you don't get it right early... It's like the tide.

Hellooo! *Waves hand.* Can. You. Hear. Me?

(What you're missing is that I'm part of a new generation of Terminator capable of emulating human sarcasm.)

You don't see how the US being a right-wing capitalist authoritarian state and not a left-wing communist authoritarian state answers the question of why I'm talking about the right when I talk about the US?

Then I don't think I can help you, no.

You don't see the connection between the capital-state and fascism? The US is of course neither communist nor left-wing in any sense today.
