New video! Shikata Ga Nai: The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

This one is really special to me ✨ I love space and I love communism and I love utopianism, and the Mars trilogy has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I first read it. It's a sociological epic telling the story of human habitation of Mars through a series of successive revolutions over 200 years as humanity strives towards a future where nobody is hungry or homeless

The books have never been adapted to screen, which presented a big challenge to me as a video essayist, so I included a lot of my own astrophotography to show everyone why I love space 🌌 🔭

I also spent hundreds of hours in Kerbal Space Program recreating iconic sci fi set pieces from the series ✨👽

It's a really pretty video about a story that matters a lot to me, and I think there's so much in the trilogy to enjoy that I didn't get around to that you really don't need have read the books before watching 🥰 but I hope you'll want to read them after.

This essay is about utopianism, which I think is utterly vital. We need to formulate and share our postcapitalist desire. We must dream.

"oh but anarchism could never work in a country as big as the US!"

Oh no you misunderstand me so badly. I do not want anarchism with existing national borders, I want to completely tear down the continuity of every country that exists. I believe that any polity large enough to require majority rule over consensus is already authoritarian, let alone ones so large that they require oligarchy over majority rule.

I will balkanize vatican city. This is a threat.

My ethics professor once told our class that society justifies hating fat people by saying they overburden the healthcare system but no one uses that excuse to hate high level athletes who also disproportionately use the healthcare system

We are seeing the same playbook as Iraq and a lot of Iraqi diaspora also said the same things when it was ongoing. Regardless of how you feel about the Iranian government, do not fucking do CIA job
