That’s honestly probably a good sign. It means we’ve now come to a point in scientific achievement where that is a genuine possibility that we consider.

Right? How about neither option? How about Authoritarianism is bad, regardless of who’s doing it?

Precisely. Just ask Naomi Wu (SexyCyborg) how much she enjoys the surveillance state, how much she enjoyed being disappeared for a few months, how much she enjoys being told not to do any more techno State Resistance content, and how much she enjoys being able to leave but can’t, because her partner is queer.

Really, its a bunch of people who either like being in an in-group and/or they like feeling superior/powerful by promoting authoritarian communism.

Saving for months ≠ using money earmarked for necessary expenses. I saved for months to buy the parts for my PC, and all of it was discretionary income.

But I otherwise agree that you should not spend your necessary funds on unnecessary expenses.
