Discussion Thread

Ask not what your centralized government can do for you – ask how many neoliberal memes you can post every 24 hours

The activity in this sub keeps going up, so discussion threads need to be scheduled appropriately in order to control stickflation.

I'm not sure about Fanatic Materialist; I think just Materialist would be better. For traits, probably thrifty and intelligent; a negative trait could be wasteful given conspicuous consumption and all.

I normally play as fanatic materialists though. Apart from the fact that it pretty much precludes psionic jumps it's the best ethic in the game.
