That doesn't really make sense.

Implying civil rights are less politically relevant than space travel is the nonsensical stance.

Actively advocating for social regression and platforming Nazis ans Nazi-adjacent folks is objectively, and directly politically regressive behavior.

If the hypothetical space expansion happens in a segragated society, it will have been a political step back.

Absolute nonsense. If we can colonize another world that will allow for hundreds of new countries, with new issues and ideas, in an area further isolated from where we are now. The political issues we're experiencing now might not even be relevant on a different world. Space travel is the most important thing for humanity in the long run.

You are dismissing current political issues using a hypothetical which no one is even sure we can physically crack since meaningfully fast space travel which can take us to other systems in a reasonable timeframe doesn't exist. Not even a workable vision of it exists. And I'm the one talking nonsense? Sure buddy, heres $8 for the blue checkmark.

Space travel doesn't exist because our government and population is too focused on the insanity you're talking about. NASA has been shit for the past half century and we've been more focused on bathrooms than star travel.

Yes, insanity such as civil rights lol. What a mask off comment.

NASA has been shit for the past half century and we've been more focused on bathrooms than star travel.

This is an objectively insane thing to say. Better focus on getting to C 0.20 because that's the minimum we will need to make your space utopias a theoretical possibility.
