I feel like we need a rap battle to decide this. We already have the name of our first collaborative album: High Octane Terraforming, featuring Gucci Sweats Planet. Eventually there will be beef with accusations about Gucci Sweats Planet's environmental credentials.
Civic duty is tough one when you can barely afford rent but all you see on your IG feed is wealthy people blasting off to space and driving Lambo's, however unrealistic that is. I listened to a pod on voting reform and their thesis was that the US system can be traced back to 1215 and the Magna Carta, when English feudal rule ended and the eventual emergence of first past the post voting. The English exported that shit all over the world.
I believe that switching to a proportional representation system is an essential component of the solution to the current situation. It's completely insane to have the current level of wealth inequality and concentration of power in the hands of so few. We need some way of voicing our dissent other than the way Luigi and whoever offed Kirk have used.
