I'm not getting out of bed for anything less than spices or gold.

They need to poke the planet, then we can all work together to get the fuck off this rock. We've fucked it up enough and there are plenty of planets to mine resources from. Let's all band together for an exit. Then go our separate ways after launch.

Perhaps let someone from global south take the controls (if humans even have more than few decades as species)

As an American, yes please, because we can't get our shit together as the mutated, corrupt, idiotic half's monster is running roughshod over our wishy-washy, whiny, "centrist" half's.

As an American with an insanely good job and life square in middle class, I'll fucking move over there in a heartbeat.

That's not the spot to touch if you want Europe to rise again ...

It will never be. It cannot be.

We all know how slow a democracy is. It takes a major event or crisis to stir up politicians to act in a timely manner and with vigor.

Now imagine the absolute dumpster fire that would need to burn to get 27 democracies to get their shit together. I doubt anything short of a full-scale invasion of EU territory by Russia would do.

The US was, for better or worse, a sort-of functioning democracy until the late 2010s. And it did quite well.

All it needed was a russian agent infiltrating the white house to damage the country
