In spirit, this is an ASTRONOMY forum Trevor, first and foremost - and most are here for that reason alone. I really don't come here to hear or even give a hoot about yours or anyone else's politics or problems with society. Elsewhere there are forums designed specifically to pander to soapbox masters who wish to battle with politics. Whilst "General Chat" is just that, I've always read it as being there for chat generally related to the topic at hand - astronomy subjects not covered by the other specifically-labelled forums. Your post has a loose reference to space travel funding in order to lend it slight credibility.
TOS asks that we avoid political, religious and racial posts. I can now see why. You, yourself, have already stated, to quote: "PS: if this gets canned then so be it", so you must have suspected it may be inappropriate to begin with.
