  • It wasn’t ejected, if left under its own power while under nominal command of the mcrn. The ship was not declared a loss until they… Lossed it.

    The fact the mcrn commander died would mean it remained mcrn, but he made authorized the crew, so when he died it became theirs, up to his authority as a commanding officer of the mcrn.

    However, he was not a flag officer, so while he could give them the watch, he could not give them permanent command (not his to give), and when a Martian officer showed up, he was authorized to relieve them and take the ship back. Gunny could have asked, but that was fuzzy since that’s technically enlisted and not normally authorized to relieve an officer (not that holden was).

    If they resisted (which they did in the ring, even though it was in legal dispute at the time), that was an act of piracy.

    So they’re space pirates.











  • That’s not why.

    They are taught that education is bad because the Bible teaches them everything they really need to know, and focusing on their weird version of ‘Christianity’^tm makes them better than all those academic eggheads in their luxurious ivory towers while the people who actually run things make sure no help ever actually gets to them.






  • They lived in the entire US, particularly the south, as did millions of slaves who suffered centuries of genocidal brutality and worse.

    And as a non-white American , you are infinitely full of shit.

    I’ve lived in most of the country, I have NEVER experienced such utter and brutal racism as in the vile, depraved south.

    This is because after the civil war we let the slaver class live in the south, and they just took over as soon as our back was turned.

    Worst decision in this country’s history, we would be so much greater of a nation if we’d simply dealt with the problem then instead of letting their filth fester and spread. Notice how Germany is a good country nowadays while the south is still as worthless as ever.

    Indiana had racism, but comparing it to the south is like comparing a sneeze and ebola.
