  Terminology is confusing. Lowercase-c conservatives want to keep the status quo as it is. But fact is that e.g. in the USA, legal access to abortion has been the status quo for 50 years.

  So nobody can say that the status quo has been anything but that in the US. So uppercase-C “Conservative” just means “reactionary” now.

  Guilt means that someone did something that’s morally wrong. Everyone who isn’t a fucking Nazi would agree that punching fascists is morally laudable, yet it’s a crime you can get convicted for.

  You’d then have done it without being guilty of anything.

  Fully automated luxury queer space communism, in the sense it was conceived at (as opposed to you interpreting the words yourself), instantly, with everybody’s belief system magically adapting as if they had lived in this new society for a few decades. As a result, everyone adapts immediately, without negative result on anyone’s mental or physical health, and without anyone being brainwashed or changed in a way they wouldn’t have naturally changed if they had time to experience living in a community that they can trust and that cares about them.

  In other words: Iain M. Banks’ Culture decides to bring Earth in, but magically instantly.

  That’s awesome. Humanity will eventually figure it out, but it’ll be literally impossible to concentrate power.
