the thing i come back to, over and over--which stuff like LOWER DECKS got, and so much other latter-day trek has forgotten--is that the whole idea of trek is that they exist in a genuinely horrifying universe, but *choose* to pursue peace and diplomacy anyways... and it works.

Christ does not say to have the 'right attitude' towards your possessions: He says do not store them up. The prohibition is absolute. Earthly property is structurally bound to..systemic injustice. To attempt to secure one's life through accumulation is a rejection of the Kingdom. David Bentley Hart
Another reason to be bummed about how TV shows are now eight episodes every two years. It was potent to have a patrician guy on screen once a week, 25 times a year, for most of a decade, solving hard problems by consulting with a team of scientists and diplomats on the most ethical approach.

or is it that the nazis appropriated norse myth? Bitch they appropriated *buddhism* for their logo and we aren't claiming tibet is now a nazi stronghold or whatever nonsense you could come up with. They were omnivorous culture thieves as all white supremacists are.

And this, ultimately, is what Jesse Gender's thread that got her harassed was about: the fear that the Democratic Party won't fight. Because a fight is what's needed. By fighting they may not win, but without fighting they can't win. And if you pick up the weapons of the enemy, you lose
