I don't know if this theory has a proper name but I have seen it multiple times.

If a species has the ability to push their technology to the point they could become a space faring species, that technology will destroy the civilization before it can get there

Some disclaimers

I am a 50+ year old American

Up until 10ish years ago I had at least a better than average understanding/knowledge of WWII

My ex's grandmother's family was from Hiroshima and they had family members killed in the bombing.

All that said as tragic as they were I still think those bombs were the correct military decision at that time. I would be willing to have a rational conversation about it though.

The situation in Gaza is completely different and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the GOP are fucking ghouls.

In a normal world it makes some sense.

If you own a catering business and are running for congress there's nothing wrong with you hiring your own firm, AT FAIR MARKET VALUE, for an event rather than hiring a competitor.

The problem is is that Trump has broken everything, and now takes what should be reasonable rules/laws and turns them into more grift.

Modern American capitalism doesn't care about long term brands. Shareholders demand quarter on quarter growth.

In what world is that a question for a reasonable person?

A media company remade and re-released a piece of media and acknowledged that there may be problematic content, but that we should consider the time the media was made.

You don't need to know what the problematic content is, just accept their statement on it.

This "take" is what's wrong with American politics. If Biden can't push either of those through an opposition House that would never do anything he wants, you will actively enable the other side, who would undo all of the good done, to win?

Don't be polite, be predictable.

As a tech-ignorant person who uses Discord with multiple gaming groups, what is so bad about it?
