We don’t just need better propulsion. The human body needs gravity. Not to mention shielding from radiation. Both of those things are doable, but I doubt there’s the political will in Washington to keep astronauts safe. If China planned on sending people to Mars in the future then America would strap a few people into a rocket propelled shoebox and honor the completely broken human when/if they get home.

The only pandemic the IOC cares to prevent is the sinful act of premarital sex, by why of those cardboard anti-sex beds.
Not immediately throwing my clothes in a wash and showering when I got home like usual. That small mistake resulted in a months long battle with bedbugs. Never again.

Christo is merely an aesthetic modifier. It tells you what surface level flavor of fascism to expect. Remember that Nazis used language and themes of socialism in their aesthetic as well. It’s why we still refer to them as Nazis and not solely fascists.
Though I understand your point. Why not call a christo-fascist and a Nazi the same thing. You certainly can; no one’s going to stop you. At its core fascism is always the same malignant stage of capitalistic rot. It’s practitioners will use whatever aesthetics they wants. Whatever works. Some may find it useful to describe the aesthetic quality of one fascism to expose its core similarities to other instances of fascism.
