    Be sure those societies are reduced to almost no people, usually in lands that are deficient in natural resources in the first place.

    Just look up for a counter-example. The Earth’s atmosphere is full of space junk now because for decades no regulatory body had the balls to tell private companies not to leave their shit up there.

        Dude is effectively arguing that capitalism is a natural phenomenon that emerged from human interaction. Itd be funny if it weren’t so sad

      There is a regulatory body; if you try to defend everyone from these private companies, then the police will arrest you. The regulation protects them from us, but not vice versa.

      Ironically, space junk doesn’t happen in a vacuum. 😜
