Yeah, but how are we going to explore the universe using warp drive technology when we have all these borders and stuff?
Until the world grows a pair and pushes or shoves if necessary, people with the SJW mindset out of the way, we're going to be at the mercy of radical religious fundamentalists that are bent on killing everyone that doesn't worship their god. The answer is for the good people of the world to work together to eliminate the bad people. That would take us closer to the desired utopia than hoping for inbred assholes to somehow get smarter.
If the world wants the universe explored by warp drive technology the shortest path at this point in human development appears to be the annihilation of those that are holding us back. We either address the problem or we live with it. The nations of the world need to decide and we'll need a new president before there is a possibility of the U.S. being on board.
In the meantime we'll get to listen to people like sportage blame people who no longer have the power to change anything rather than the people in power that do.
We can stop this but it will result in some severe feather-ruffling of those most deeply in denial. Until we decide to tell them fuck you, we're taking care of this it will continue. It's really as simple as that.
