    If someone besides elon or one of his sociopathic peers put together a generation starship to colonize a new galaxy I’d sign up in a second

      We just have to convince a significant number of “rabble rousers” to sign up for a colony ship even if it is Elon’s, then riot and overthrown the colonial authorities once we’re far enough away he can’t readily send reinforcements.

        I’d much rather just tell the fruitcakes to go with Elon and the others.

        Then we can start cleaning the place up

          Yeah, that would be nice. Unfortunately we have centuries of precedent that the owner class won’t abandon something until they’ve wrong all profitability from it, some point after wringing any qualities of goodness from it perverting the whole of it to perverse profitability.

          In order to be free revolting will be necessary, weather that be here or somewhere else.
