Funny that it's such a horrible word but they call each other that all the time, now that you mention it... 🤔

>horrible word
subjective

It's what *they* say

(((they)))?

Are the walls closing in?

Wow this should be a interesting race https://twitter.com/christyforca25/status/1206288599555035136?s=21

wow, Cenk is ultra-based

Love seeing the comments accusing Christy of being a corporate donor shill. (Not saying she isn't)

But Cenk has been getting fucktons of corporate donations for TYT for... Basically his entire career.

Qatar funds TYT also

I don't know why it never occured to me before, but the Expanse is libshit because it buys into the oppression narrative

"whites" or in this case earth have gone all over plundering any sort of capital they can find regardless of the human cost.

Is there honestly TV worth watching at this point?

The people on the belt, would really be like oil rig workers or something or any other dangerous but well paying job.

But in the books and the show they're literally a subspecies

"adapted to low g"

Man, it makes the premise even more racist if you think about it in terms of Abrahams TDS and his rantings about racist trump

It's it pretty racist to make an allegory about PoC on earth and make them literally a different species 🤔

We're reaching the final stage of woke

The belters are also shown as being kind like back water meth addicts, but if you take two seconds to think about what living in space would be like

everyone would probably be pretty smart

they'd have to be to be able to help fix and figure out how to fix anything that went wrong, even if it's to a lesser degree than with modern astronauts

it would still have to be above average intelligence people overall to maintain everything.

@Beemann oh and everyon on earth is on Welfare basically

Lel

Fucking terran welfare queens

There's a china 1 child policy too

Yeah I barely watch anything at this point and hadn't read the books
Of course there is

Been watching The Boys but I like the comic better tbh. About halfway through both (S1 and the core comic series)

I reallyd did and still enjoy the first couple books

they go out of their way to hint at muslims in space too, like newsladies in Hijabs and shit

Also it bothers me that Simon Pegg is in the show but not as Hughie. He looks just like him

Ah, starts good but goes down the shitter or what?

I'm not sure if this affects my opinions on the first 2 books or not cause the story is good

But one of the Authors, it's a two author team under a psuedonym, has had multiple melt downs that have been recorded complaining about "conservatives", Republicans, and Trump

The other author just cringes Ty Frank

But, a lot of these set pieces in the worldbuilding actually make me realise it's how someone like Daniel Abraham sees the real world

They view it as inevitable that we'll have to have UBI, that anytime people move into new places they're oppressing the people there workers or otherwise. Etc

The whole main plot point is the tension between the belters, and Earth and Mars because the belters are "oppressed and exploited"

There's like a little detective murder mystery story in the first book that's still very good though, And the second book ties everything off, but there are like 8 books now.

That reminds me - I need to finish the Southern Reach and Sprawl trilogies
