#the show: depicts earthers as a threat by only depicting people that wanna hurt the mooners when they land on earth

[moonssugar]

thinking about moonhaven (amc) again suddenly. i think the premise of IO is inherently selfish. because ultimately its a corporate project that wants to sell humanity a life saving solution after a experiment using human subjects (mooners) proves successful but the problems IO is supposed to fix (like regenerating/creating entire ecosystems and making water drinkable) were caused by corporate greed anyways. in the first ep earth is a wasteland, people are desperate, there’s no clean water and less food and that desperation created terrorist groups, one that attacked indira’s school and the other tomm is running for his own benefit. people have to wear oxygen masks because the air is unsafe to breathe. ICON owns IO, created it, controls it, but instead of letting her loose immediately and i don’t know growing people some vegetables and digging wells they’re scared someone will take (monetary and government) advantage of it and they make everyone wait until IO is fine tuned enough to make decisions for them. not realizing the fact that IO being ‘kidnapped’ or hacked or something as a possibility still exists because of their inaction and will to immediately start changing things. corporate greed expects other people to act as selfishly as they do and withholds for a price or an ultimatum especially when things go south the what they guard is necessary for life. this is how we got mfs ‘investing’ in fresh water reservoirs. fix the problem (scarcity, insecurity) you can fix everything else (fighting over resources, desperation, preventable death) but ICON has to make a buck, so theyre not gonna do that just yet. or in a way they can control entire populations with. or at all. bitch just regrow the amazon and plant some food already
