Raypunk Cybernihilism

A nihilist variant that exploits raypunk’s retro‑futuristic ray guns, flying saucers, and cosmic escapism. Adherents argue that Earth is a dead end; the only purpose of technology is to leave, vaporising the planet for fuel if necessary. Raypunk cybernihilism celebrates destruction as a form of takeoff. Its heroes are mad scientists who would split continents to reach the stars.

Raypunk Cybernihilism Example: “The raypunk cybernihilist unveiled a laser to melt the polar ice caps. ‘The water will cool our launch pads,’ he said. ‘We don’t need a planet to have a future.’”
