I got to stop watching these and get some work done. Or start my own federation with blackjack and hookers.

      Star Trek is an inherently political show. TOS is often cited as airing the first interracial kiss on American television.

        Connecting political affiliation to race is kind if a backwards way of thinking. Anyway, my point was to keep this community silly and unpredictable. Don’t let the the political circle jerkers ruin this like they did so many others.

      Uhh, have you watched an actual episode of any Trek series? Or did my sarcasm detectors just fail?
      Maybe have to run a level-1 diagnosis on the whole fucking array again :/

        I’ve watch all of them (except for the new ones)

        Star trek has nothing to do with your personally dislike of money. We live in the real world. My point is that we should post star trek shit in a star trek shit posting community. Don’t ruin this like so many other communities. I don’t want to see a single post about how your suffering, the worlds burning or anything else doom and gloom

            You know how it is, you think someone is being sarcastic and then you wake up in sick bay

      Nah, politics is fine. Communist propaganda like this meme is the real issue.

            How about a fully state-controlled economy?

            Not capitalism, since there’s no private capital; not communism, since there’s a state.

              Would that be like the world of Starship Troopers? 🤔

              The state provides everything… But only to those they want (in that case, citizens and you only get citizenship by being in the military for a while).

          Ok, anti-capitalist propaganda.

          Probably shouldn’t assumed, after all its not like theres a bunch of communists on lemmy, and communism isn’t the only alternative to capitalism.

        Sure, the society depicted in Star Trek is basically post-scarcity luxury space communism so we do not need propaganda anymore, I agree.

        Star Trek, where… Federation = better vision of humanity = post capitalism. Ferengi = not depicted to be admirable = capitalists.
