Domestic Terrorism in America
...pity
Who wants to live forever?
I'm afraid of death. Because death for me could mean no longer being able to experience the pleasures of our world because I no longer exist. If there is indeed bo afterlife.
And as much as I hate people (because I really am a misanthrope who gets easily disgusted with humanity) I dont want the whole world to die, and I want my neice to grow up in a safe and better world.

If you're not around to experience anything as far as your consciousness is concerned it's not happening, no you won't experience the pleasures but you also won't experience anything else. You're no longer a participant in the game from that point on.

Me neither. I mean, why the hell else would they be so intent on sabotaging the January 6th investigation? They have done everything in their power to sweep what happened under the rug.

Boy, how does anyone in this thread get anything done between checking for Proud Boys under the bed, Putin in the closet, Donald Trump under the floorboards, conspiracy theorists in the attic (beaming wrongthink at you, so best foil up), white supremacist in the garage, incels peeping in the windows, toxic masculinity wafting through the air...
It sounds exhausting.

Not as exhausting as being a keyboard warrior I'm sure.

Oh no, this is relaxing for me, I hung up my ranger tab a long time ago.

Good point, but there are many kind Australians who I wouldnt want to dump our trash on.
Hey I know! How about we send them all to Antarctica?
Nah, Antarctica is a place where much scientific research is conducted. It is a place for intellectuals, not those dunces. We could ship them off to Australia, but the part of the Australian Outback where the vast majority of Australians never go anyways. That way, they're out of sight, out of mind for even the Aussies.

I guess the Outback would be the best place for them.

Most of Antarctica is just as out-of-sight/out-of-mind as the Outback.
Why not make them flip a coin to decide their fate? Heads it's fire, tails it's ice.

Well... a self respecting empire always sends convicts to faraway territories that it wants to fill up with settlers as fast as possible - to beef up the population in order to exploit the territory, and to defend it.
The emperors of China would send you to Hainan Island (a large island off their southern coast that was considered a tropical non paradise faraway from civilization).
Both the Czars and the Soviets would banish you to Siberia.
Britain first used Georgia for that purpose, then after the American Revolution used Australia.
Today...the US might use the Planet Mars! Or ...maybe Antarctica- for that purpose.
Trouble is that takes high tech skills to survive on Mars. It takes only slightly less life support to survive in Antarctica. So maybe neither of those is an option for some of the more maladjusted of the types in question.

I had no idea my state was originally a penal colony? That's pretty interesting!
