Republicans (at the time the abolitionist party) were horrified and did a lot of hand wringing about civil discourse, while the pro-slavery democrats celebrated the attack, were lauded in their homes states, and started threatening to visit the same kind of beatings to their own opponents

the show is not always good but it is always radically pro-resistance and I honestly need that right now

Ds9 has the only warship in the entire starfleet (including other star trek shows) because their enemy does not respond to diplomacy

Also shout out to the one episode where copy will riker joins the space terrorists because he is pure of heart

Im sure those episodes were intended to be hyperbolically cynical in their depiction of an american dystopia 30 years in the future but it's the future now and it's fucking eerie

It's extremely fucked up how relevant this 30 year old silly star trek show is and even more fucked up how accurately the writers predicted the civil unrest in 2020s america

Kira is second in command and is a self proclaimed former terrorist and freedom fighter and she fucking rules no wonder the lesbians love her

season 3 has a two parter where sisko goes to the year >>2024<< and is a willing participant in a violent civil uprising that takes hostages in order to eliminate the government's systematic incarceration of homeless/jobless americans

something something appropriation something something elon diaperfur convention

better than Gay Poots but not by much

garak about to die: she's not going to fuck you, dukat

I haven't been paying as much attention to my teen son as this adult woman has, maybe it's ok that they're making out at her workplace
