Reminds me of how funny it is you have fans who claim the new shows have a “leftist” bias, when DS9 was making episodes quoting the Communist Manifesto.
There just is no utopia possible if you enact right-wing politics.
Right wing politics is explicitly anti utopian, because utopia is bad…or whatever.
What do ya mean, no utopia!? Your agonizer, please.
Even TOS had a blatant anti-racism episode where the conclusion was very much explicitly “if we don’t get along, we’ll be left extinct on an empty, dead husk of a planet”.
Yeah I’m still confused by people who don’t get the fact that Star Trek has always been a pretty liberal soapbox
Facts though. Capitalism didn’t create money. Their one big claim to fame is paywalling money and then everything else and then acting like they came up with the idea for food, water, and shelter.
Yeah money, the law of value and other things people associate with capitalism all predate it by hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.
It’s a shame O’Brien never got a jump-back-in-time-and-be-your-ancestor episode.
Yeah but they did have that itinerant alcoholic space Irish moonshiners episode. So maybe it’s best he didn’t.
Riker was allllll over that episode.
So glad risa is on lemmy
