They're not about that anymore.

Helium-3 is a fuel for fusion that does have its benefits, but most scientists are focused on Deuterium-Tritium reactions. On the moon, the most concentrated regolith has only 50 parts of helium-3 per billion. That is super sparse. Like, we may as well be sifting uranium out of Earth's oceans at that point. And if we're doing giant space-based megaprojects, the gas giants probably have higher concentrations of helium-3 or we could just beam power around from giant solar panels.

This is a fair argument against Elon Musk's dream to colonize Mars - it is indeed an escapist fantasy. But with the recent and upcoming moon missions, the involved parties (government orgs!) are quite clear that they're not doing it out of a false belief that they can make a self-sustaining colony. That stuff is over a century away. Only billionaires and their simps believe it lol.

No one's been able to reverse it so far, not even the countries that have increased child support. Personally, I think if we go all-in on restructuring our economy to support child-rearing then it will reverse, but I think it's too radical and expensive for countries to consider.

That's called infertility, and it's a separate issue. Fertility rate refers to children per woman, and this is decreasing globally to unsustainable levels. There is a phenomenon known as the "demographic transition" that refers to the demographic shift of pre-industrial high births and high mortality, to high births and low mortality due to modern science, to finally low births and low mortality. The only successful policy to reverse baked-in population decline so far has been to accept large numbers of immigrants. Obviously this can't be universally applied because those immigrants have to come from somewhere.

Putin is not the richest man in the world. That would be Elon Musk.

You're moving the goalposts. The famine happened far before North Korea had nuclear missiles, and rocket tests were far less common decades ago.

Show me an example of US state authored or propagated propaganda.

No. Neither of us were talking about this in the first place.

It is totally the Chinese, authoritarian way of thinking

Ah yes, as you can see from the cranium of this skull, the Chinese brain is simply predisposed to authoritarian thought... 🙄

Bro China is one of the greatest contributors to renewable energy 💀

Well, the people get what they want and consider it democratic. So it's better than most countries at being democratic lol.

This meme is from the future, so it's a bit difficult to understand. Libs won't understand until 2025.
