<![CDATA[Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays.]]>Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays. Too preachy. Kirk's show wasn't like this.

Average TOS episode: AI is bad and should never be allowed to run a society. Also, make peace because nationalism kills and every life form must be respected equally.

And it was not a baby. It was a half-grown, adult-sized clone that wasn't yet properly alive. At ethically worst it was an abortion. It certainly raised similar bodily autonomy concerns.

It's a bad episode, but call it out for what it is.

> You just cannot get to The Federation by building SkyNet

Defeating the SkyNet now being built is IMO the neccessary and unevitable stage to the future free Federation of the known Universe. So often humanity must be stripped of convenience and pushed to the extreme austerity for the survivors to see the new path now unimaginable.

Ah, BTW, the Warp Drive is now something achievable:

Given that fascism IS all about the economic top exploiters supporting the one guy (arbitrary) rule, is it any surprise that techbros are the quintessential, inherent fascist pieces of shit du jour?

One might want to show it to them, but not for the reasons that you might think.

Babylon 5 is the one that had a fascist regime take over Earth, institute a system of enforcers and informants named NightWatch, and bomb civilian targets on Mars; which is eventually defeated by a coalition of diverse species co-lead by a mixed-species person.

G'Kar had elements of Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi. Garibaldi didn't like corrupt corporations. Ivanova was in a same-sex relationship. Sinclair had PTSD. Neroon became a peacenik.

The show addressed slavery, social inequity, torture, mind control, racism/speciesism, collaborators, genocide, self-destruction, suppression of opposition, and sending people to die in wars.

One of its episodes, 'The Illusion of Truth' which showed how the Earth regime distorted the news for propaganda purposes, was even considered for use in university courses in the U.S.A..
