That wasn't a debate, I just find it easier to process my thoughts about something by writing about what I think of it in a semi-formal way (not because I expect people to actually read whatever I ramble on about, but because it's easier for me to go back to it myself if it visually looks less informal). I'm not trying to actually debate anyone here, wherever "here" is (I don't remember if I've seen this community on my feed before, I don't generally pay that much attention to what specific community something is in but looking at it upon it coming up, I'm a bit confused about what this one is). I don't have a lot of self control about replying to things and find it very hard not to get into arguments if I find something I disagree with, but I don't actually enjoy arguing and don't have the skills for formalized "debate" anyway.

I'm not saying that the article directly stated these things, they're the subtext that I got out of reading it, and mostly come from the later parts of the text or just from other stuff I've read that felt like it had the same sort of message (because again, I'm not trying to actually prove anything to someone with all this). I did read the earlier parts too, yes, but I guess they seemed obvious enough that they didn't stick in my head as much as the later bits. Of course facists lie, that's pretty much the only thing their ideology runs on, that's less interesting to me than the bits at the end where they mentioned, for example, Kim Stanley Robinson. I know golden age sci-fi runs on magic, but I also think that things of similar scale and potential are possible within the already known physics of the real world, eventually.
