It's actually very simple, just squeeze the entire modern United States into a fleet of less than 50,000 people led by Galactica and see what happens.
But what happens to the American people in such a situation? In the 911, the United States can see that the military response is still very fast. As to whether in extreme cases benevolent like Adama or cold-blooded like Cain, only God knows. It can be said that the United States, or even the entire Western civilization, has never encountered a real existential crisis, so the discussion of the rationality of terrorism in the film can be said to be particularly rare. It is an interesting question whether the Americans can only resort to the same tactics as the Palestinians when they encounter an enemy too strong to defeat. Based on the unique religious belief of the United States in the Western world, I speculate that this is very likely.
This scenario is less attractive in other countries. For example, the Japanese people have spent thousands of years on a small island full of earthquakes and volcanoes, and recently added a nuclear leak. It is not much different to squeeze into a few ships. In short, they are still the same cautious, careful, polite, and good. Taking advantage of a small space, I don't care about Western-style salvation religion and democratic politics. God can't save other people's world, and people are used to it. If Macross and BSG fight, I bet Macross will win.
For another example, although the living space of the Chinese people is very small, it is not so orderly, so I doubt whether we can survive in a spacecraft that relies on technology and meticulous maintenance. It happens that many of the enemies we have encountered in the past two centuries are beyond our ability to defeat. Therefore, this sense of crisis has always been there, but the sense of crisis of two hundred years finally seems to be empty. In the past three decades, let go of the nervous crisis. It is a historical joke. Taiwan can be used as a special model of Chinese civilization in a BSG-like environment. There is no god, and the final result is that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will hold hands and be harmonious and prosperous. God has a plan, translated into Chinese means that XXX is pounding a big bucket of paste. However, noting that this is the peaceful coexistence of two opposing dynasties plus three links, which has never been seen in Chinese history, and its ideological basis is nationalism formed in modern times, I do not think this is a pure natural manifestation of Chinese civilization.
If the Russian people are sealed in the BSG, it is estimated that under the leadership of Comrade XXX, they will fight a great Patriotic War and finally win a victory with many dead people. If the Indian people are sealed in BSG, they may use yoga + meditation to obtain spiritual power and finally become one with the Cylon people. If the Arabs were driving the BSG, they might lead the entire fleet to crash into the Resurrection Ship and die together (oh, it seems that the Japanese would do this too). ...
crazy.
