Mfw splitting the atom, entering space, stepping in the moon, etc. wasn't radical or revolutionary:
Pretty sure this means radical and revolutionary in the political sense. Though most scientists and astronauts weren't billionaires - they were government employees.
Yep. The race to the Moon was just a dick measuring contest between the US and USSR. Manned space travel is a meaningless ego trip for governments. Unmanned space travel is equally useless in practical terms - learning about other planets does nothing to help the proletariat on our own - but at least wastes less money.
Global internet connection via satellite, and GPS, on the other hand, have helped the proletariat in actual practical terms. It's a shame it took all that billionaire ego dick waving to get there.
Something something environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening
*scientists figure out faster-than-light travel*
Me, an intellectual: Clearly not revolutionary because I can't use my mass transit (heh) ticket on it
I sense sarcasm, but you are literally, unironically, correct.
If faster than light travel does not change the material conditions of the ordinary person, then it's not radical or revolutionary - it's just another toy for the rich and/or dick measuring tool for governments to boast about.
I think you're using those words differently from how people usually use them. Because most would consider FTL travel a pretty radical and revolutionary breakthrough lol
Yeah I like driving, but manufacturers need to bring prices down who has $100k to spend on a car
China invented a few electric cars that are just as good as a Tesla for 1/3rd the price. Our benevolent plutocrats responded by putting a 100% tariff on Chinese electric cars.
i dunno i think the nuclear bomb was pretty revolutionary
