Can somebody explain to me how it’s supposedly “logical”?
We haven’t achieved “fully automated” on Earth for as mundane tasks as picking vegetables. What makes you think space travel would make full automation possible?
This is a Star Treck meme.
Human society in Star Treck is pretty close to Utopia. All their material needs are met. Money has been abolished. Jobs only serve the purpose of self-fulfillment.
The sentence „fully automated luxury space communism“ is a reference to this meme, even if it doesn’t fit 100%.
*Fascism
Not the world we going to friend…
we already have fascsism in the US, your point being?
That luxury space communism better be gay
This, but gay
it’s already gay
Oh we dropped the gay? I always assumed it meant happy
I don’t need luxury, I want gay space communism!
Also the gay is implied anyway - look at the top of the star (in that fantastic logo) how it’s not aligned straight.
I don’t need the space, I need the luxury. If I have to wipe with anything fewer than three ply, it could start a war
I’m not sure there’s a single syllable that fits the whole plus so I guess you drop it and kind force inclusion by implying it Like gods vs gods and goddesses, goddesses are already gods
goddesses are already gods
That’s called invisibilization of women. The French language, which is my mother tongue, does that a lot, and we’re fighting against that.
Does that work if you are trying to include more than two genders?
I’ve heard arguments for the opposite: women who act should be called actors, not actresses, the logic being that the -ess suffix is diminutive, so all actors should just be actors. It seems like there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for either side.
It may be possible in English, I’m not competent enough to have a strong opinion.
In French, as all words are gendered, the things are different.
The distinction, or ignoring the distinction?
The invisibilization.
Some lieutenant in a skant is going to be very upset.
when I want the full luxury gay space communism scifi experience I go and reread “Consider Plebas” from Ian M Banks’s Culture series
Replicators, teleporters, holodecks, monetary exchange dead, and Q showing up at random.
But also Ferengi and lots of other mercantile civilizations, and we also see the individual crew members taking part in the trade/monetary economy. It’s kinda the Federation, and more specifically its government, that doesn’t deal use money.
And that’s because it projects influence through military might and soft power. It doesn’t need money.
In case anyone else is as confused as I was: yes, we are defederated from Hexbear.net. This image is simply hosted there.
What’s the origin of this phrase, I encountered it at burning Man
Mirror spock, and Picard’s missing the Lenin beard 🤔
