> why do posters that oppose going to other planets feel the need to hide their flag? because they work for (((people))) who understand how dangerous frontiers are to their control. a community that is more than a few months away in travel time, is functionally not a part of your system, not without their consent. the reason rebellion is impossible in the modern era, is because global relief forces could arrive in days or even hours to suppress a movement that threatens the current control structures. america would still be a british colony if we had been a day or two away from the crown's seat of power. it is in that context that they don't want space to be colonized, not unless they can somehow get that reaction time from months to days. so they can squash any pesky white movements that might start a break away civilization.
