  • Grade-school level history: I didn’t need to ask which country because all of the possible countries were puppet states of a single other country…

    Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships […]

    There are a total of 0 communist countries throughout history. Your lack of very basic knowledge is starting to make me cringe.

    I’m happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism.

    That’s irrelevant. If you’re happy while I’m driving a nail through your eyes, does that make driving a nail through someone’s eyes a good thing? The fact that you are privileged doesn’t make a difference.

    Oh, and I’m free to leave anytime I want

    No, you’re not. Your statement is so completely uneducated, I couldn’t even guess where to begin dismantling it.













  • Very much so, yes. That’s what turned me off of Picard, for instance (and the whole “Earth is back to being a shithole after a single android attack” thing).
    The very obvious subtext of every good Star Trek episode and plot is that just talking things through is a good way to solve most problems. Newer writers don’t seem to have gotten the memo, and instead try to cram as much generic hollywood garbage as they can into the series.





  • Watch Star Trek TNG and you’ll instantly get it. The original series was getting a bit dated by the 90s, but TNG is still as fresh as you can get, talking about issues we’re still dealing with - It’s timeless. Not to mention it has, IMO, the best and most synergistic crew of the whole franchise.
