We can’t even keep the most prosperous nation on the planet from falling to fascism in 5 years how the FUCk do you think we’re gonna keep an isolated crew of highly intelligent people with access to the highest tech available?
I know enough about human nature that the only way this works is if it started as a die-hard authoritarian religious movement and even then I only give it 1 out of 4 chances of making it 100 years into the mission
Transitional periods take time, and are generally pretty messy. Most of that is because comfortable humans are inherently lazy. The rich managed to stave off a transitional period that began in the mid 1800’s for almost a century with specific concessions to the working class, that they immediately started clawing back, after WWI and WWII. They can’t hold it back with neoliberal rot anymore, so the transitional period may now continue.
It will get better, just maybe not within our lifetimes.
I think the only reason to even try a generational ship is if it’s literally all we have.

This is classist propaganda and doesn’t belong in your message
