For anyone not familiar with The Expanse, one of the major plot points of the show is this entire scenario he's played out in this make-believe article he's written. On the show, people that live in the asteroid belt, referred to as "Belters" are the lowest class of people, barely scrapping by doing dirty space mining in low-oxygen, low-sunlight conditions. Its nearly every point Fatty lays out in his "opinion" piece.

Its straight up plagiarism. No joking and no exaggerating. Patrick stole an entire concept from one of the biggest sci-fi shows out right now. I believe the writers for that show should receive credit and financial compensation for this obviously plagiarized opinion piece.

How did he think no one would notice?
