Link to article with discussions of apocalyptic theory, hyper-capitalists, neo-colonization 

This whole article, about seeing New Zealand as an escape pod for the apocalypse, is A Lot. It... it captures a lot of feelings I have, and not just about that particular subject.

@abe_e_seedy I want to read this but I earnestly think it will be too depressing. I was actually thinking about this a lot while we were gone because of your dad's hero worship of Elon Musk

@abe_e_seedy what is it with tech douchebags and the Pacific Ocean, anyway

@angrboda I actually found it more hopeful than the intro implies, but even so the reason I tagged it like that is because it definitely at least flirts with some dark concepts, so it's super fair to avoid.

Plus it's pretty long, so it's not something you can just read quickly on your phone at your desk or anything
