re: #289 jamesfirecat

True I was just suggesting that since people tend to love to draw comparisons between the verse of Firefly and the civil war, I was trying to set up another when were semi-rich people from the core worlds would have headed out to more uncivilized parts to be a big fish in a small pond.

I think that’s kind of implied to be true with the asshole from “Heart of Gold”, but on the other hand Prudence or whatever is definitely independent through and through.

The Core isn’t really socialist, though, even though it’s got a lot of social services and shit it’s capitalist and there’s ultra-wealthy people. Its real oppressiveness is the police-statey-ness of it.
