idk. line between extremist & revolutionary is blurry. extremist seems to have a more negative connotation. true about being ruled by someone months away.
makes you wonder what galactic civilizations will be like. (as they'll either be small independent systems or ruled by someone years away.)
Without FTL travel I doubt there can be a galactic civilisation. Just a bunch of infependant solar civilisations. Even a K2 civilisation would be more like a bunch of separate nations.
yeah agree. even now people dont really care about grudges their parents had against other countries. why would people have such long distance allegiances?
