Oh, look, they did a corruption

Of all the other states, why is Kentucky of all things, the one you recognize?

When there’s NY, California, or Texas in existence, and more importantly in media…

Not necessarily.

This does not end up how you think it does. Not allowing for unchecked corporate power doesn’t mean consolidation of government power into the hands of a few.

Our system is broken because we allow corporations to go around the people and buy influence directly from politicians. Not all systems have to do that.

But Removing the people that corporations are currently buying influence from doesn’t mean they do being bad. It just means they have even fewer obstacles to doing what they want than they do now.

Getting rid of any concept of a state is what allows corporations to fill the gap. It’s corporate feudalism. The only thing that can push back against a collective entity is another collective entity.

Yeah what conditions are these scientists working under?

Imagine thinking normal people don’t have hobbies and then acting superior about it on the Internet…

They’re afraid he might 3D print an escape copter and break free…

I just think we shouldn’t shield these evil people by pretending it’s “the business” doing it. It’s humans. Really really shitty humans, but they made the decision to do this to a kid, on camera, thinking it wouldn’t immediately backfire in this age of social media.

So not only are they assholes, but also fucking stupid.

Nah. There was a meeting of actual humans who got together and decided to trick a child hoping no one would notice. Said meeting likely cost more than the said console did in salaries, too.

No

You can’t copyright the likeness of another actual person

So… if it has robots and space and cloning, its science fiction and if it doesn’t it’s not?

At no point did I say this. Even remotely.

You can’t just inverse something I said and assume it’s still equivalent. You’d think someone this passionate about reading would have a higher level of comprehension…

There was no point in me reading past this pathetic strawman. Hope you enjoyed writing that pointless essay.

That’s like the lowest bar imaginable

I mean, terrorism is just politically motivated violence.

This country was founded by terrorists.

Sorry, no. Genre doesn’t require a specific theme. This is some literature vs pulp gatekeeping.

They mismanaged having the working class make enough to fund this program properly. But stagnant wages have meant the income to outgoing ratio has dipped to the point where the workers to retirees ratio is endangering the whole program. All while maintaining a cap on how much you need to contribute per year

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren’t enough to make it sci Fi?

Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie… Wouldn’t exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species

And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.

That was not a subtle theme…
