You should do AUSJ. It's the sort of thing you'd be good at.

This is right up there with “Scott Alexander keeps recommending me as a good right-wing writer“ in terms of confusion as to what in my post history could possibly have prompted such a reaction.

mitigatedchaos

By the criteria that you are right-wing, I suppose I also count as right-wing.

wirehead-wannabe

I mean you do read as right wing to me, but that’s probably because I have a skewed idea of where the center is

mitigatedchaos

I don’t know how you’d ever get that idea, Wirehead-kun.  I-it’s not like I want to take over the world or anything!  B-baka!

At this rate, you’ll never be able to stop me from seizing control of Earth and paving over everything you have ever known with trees self-replicating solar-powered CO2 scrubbers, Anon-kun, much less your beloved Western Australia.

But there’s definitely a strain of revolutionary that wants a more explicitly fascist or feudal adversary, not this wishy washy liberal centrism rubbish.

It takes a villain to create a superhero.

This is why Leftists should support my rise to power in order to feel revolutionary zeal and increase their social status through righteous indignation. It’s true, I may not be a feudalist or a fascist, but they’ll get to call me that a lot which gets the same social points, right? And what I have in mind is less wishy-washy than the current dominant paradigm…

Anonymous asked:

Should your avatar be referred to as Miti-chan?

Oddly enough, the avatar already has a name, I just haven’t mentioned it on Tumblr yet - the Union Girl.  (Union Girl has another name, but that will be revealed in due time.)

This is reflective of the persona I present in futurist shitposting here on Tumblr, that of someone who grew up in the North American Union prior to its integration into the Earth Federation.  The choice of clothing is a callback to the United States of America, the predecessor of the NAU, at that point having already been dissolved several decades ago, and to the anti-nationalist EF, is used as a symbol by those who support the National Separationists.  Those wearing symbols of the old Union aren’t against state intervention per se, and aren’t in favor of the ancient Confederacy’s war for racial supremacy (at least according to Confederate politicians), but they still believe in nations and states.  Thus, Union Girl is either the [North American Union] Girl or the [Union Army/Federal] Girl.  

National Separationism is suppressed by the Earth Federation government as a form of hate speech, and the Union Girl has ties to separatist organizations and is generally problematic according to the reigning social justice orthodoxy of 2112.

As a paramilitary cyborg from the future intent on reviving a nation that doesn’t currently exist, the Union Girl is technically a supervillain.

The name of this blog also has multiple meanings.

Mitigated [Chaos] - I am chaotic, it is mitigated on this blog.
[Mitigated] Chaos - Plans to mitigate chaos.
[Mitigated Chaos] - A blend of chaos and order, a mitigated chaos.
Mitigated Chaos - .The plans on this blog are in fact partly chaotic.

In the Suburbs of Flatsville, Arkowa

Our field trip to the suburbs continues in our One Thousand Villages series of wildcat city planning.

Arkowa is a state in the American Midwest, where the legislature has graciously agreed to give our new Metropolitan Planning Authority control over an area of land to build a new city, off of a major highway.  According to the news this is somehow tied into a scandal involving a group of climate vigilantes holding thousands of tractors hostage using a backdoor in hacked Ukrainian tractor firmware, but the news hasn’t been very reliable lately, so such suspicions can be safely disregarded.

Here we have a suburban klick, broken into four quads of various densities.

With American development comes the American love of the automobile.  Many of our new residents are commuting to the neighboring city of Springfield for work, travelling along the highway, and there are limits to just how far we can stretch our city’s public transport infrastructure!

god it’s way past time we dissolved Western Australia

either get rid of all the states entirely and give more authority to local councils, or get rid of the federal government and let states print their own currencies, but the current split between state and federal is incredibly irritating.

That’s the part of the world @mitigatedchaos can be in charge of.  It’s mostly uninhabitable, so who cares if it’s fucked up?

mitigatedchaos

I know, you’re probably thinking this is a safe idea.  “Let’s exile that lunatic to the vast desert of Western Australia.  No matter how many bizarre plans they have, the collateral damage cannot possibly escape to the rest of the developed world.”

And of course, this seems perfectly reasonable.  The diagonal of Western Australia is literally over two thousand kilometers in length.

It’s just over two point six million square kilometers in size.  Even the construction of a Special Economic Zone kept wet by a nuclear-powered desalination plant would be dwarfed by four orders of magnitude by the shear scale of Western Australia.

But did you realize it’s possible to terraform the Outback with existing technology?

Who would fund such a thing?  Well, multiple nations are looking to meet their climate commitments, and the newly-formed state of Technocratic Western Australia would be in a position to supply.  A new city would need to be built to accommodate the infrastructure necessary to oversee this enormous project, along with a series of smaller and more temporary towns, allowing a great degree of flexibility in urban planning.  

The scale of the project would ensure funding for the new regime for several decades, while power was consolidated and a new culture was forged across multiple immigrant groups brought in to provide the labor for the project.  A tiered citizenship system, including education and service to advance up the hierarchy, with special status reserved for national heroes and more voice available in the National Delegation for loyalists, would place long-term political power in the hands of those committed to the new Western Australia.

As the trees spread across the continent, new development opportunities and industries would open up as the temperatures and local climates changed, paving the way for a nation of twenty million by the mid century.

The only thing preventing this future is that I am not in charge of Western Australia.
