Oh boy i love when the writers are preaching at me with strawman scenarios and unrealistic idealism!

I don't really agree with the vision of the future portrayed in ST but it's not offensive either. Especially in today's landscape, the sincerity and kind-heartedness of ST's utopianism is quite charming. Future generations will surely view it as ultimately misguided yet inspirational.
>>
>>223182630
Yeah that is how I felt watching the four lights episode where they talk about how torture was against x convention

Very 90s end of history idealism when we thought there was gonna be world peace and international law was absolute
>>
>>223182610
Then you'd be okay if I took an exact snapshot of your neurons and then placed it in a torture simulation until the heat death of the universe?

Is a starship hull really no thicker than an airliner's? Isn't it a design weakness to have windows? Or are they just projections?
>>
>>223182933
Fed ships are made out of tissue paper and rely on shield. The windows are transparent aluminum.

He literally would.

>bro if i like took a snapshot of your neurons or some shit
Go ahead and do that, nothing'll come of it.
>it's another retarded materialist episode
Or do you think the npcs in GTA have feelings, lol
>>
>>223182991
>and rely on shield.
Then why does the Captain shout "Shields up!" when there's an emergency?
>>
Star Trek has always been preachy.
Roddenberry made it clear that the 21st Century would suck.
>>
>>223182646
The Boomers were too 'tarded to realize that such can only exist between whites and certain Asians.
>>
>>223183045
If they run the shields at 100% all the time it makes the lights flicker.
>>
>>223183071
>and certain Asians
Hello groyper weeb

No, all Asians are scum
>>
>>223183071
They didn't have the data or experience we do. For the boomers back in the day, it was easy to believe the difference between black and white was purely environmental.
>>
>>223182584
They used to do episodes about how slavery is bad. Today they do episodes about how certain peoples are still collectively responsible for historical slavery. The earlier stuff was a genuine criticism of slavery, today it's mostly basic tribalism.
>>
>>223183370
Boomer writing vs millennial writing
>>
>>223183370
The irony is that Star Trek used to acknowledge "yes we once did deplorable things as a young species but we realized our mistakes and took steps to be better" which is a more inspirational message than NuTrek that basically points a finger and says you did this and you're bad people.
>>
>>223182933
>Isn't it a design weakness to have windows?
Besides star trek windows being magical aluminium, it's pretty easy to justify having ways to look outside the ship without power.
>>
>>223182933
This is why dominion ships don’t have windows because they’re not retards
>>
>>223184309
How did that end up for them, huh? Huh? Huuuuh? Retard.

>>223183454
Same thing, Star Trek and about 90 percent of western TV post WWII was jewish propaganda.

Denying jewish involvement in Hollywood is just laughable, even if you like jews it's obvious Hollywood is just a propaganda industry filled with jews.

Cool man, go cry to the UN or Qatar or something I don’t care this is a trek thread

The jewified American golem will join conventions outlawing the use of torture then open bases across the world in which they torture their prisoners in new and horrifying ways with scientific specialists advising on the best ways to inflict maximum damage then cry out that the rest of the world is uncivilized. Lmfao.

>Yes, I will trust the most scumbag race this side of the quadrant with my most important plans!
Skill issue.

Muslims aren’t human tho, that’s the difference

You could tell that the Original Series was written by a mix of people who included some that really bought into the American/western way of life (while being able to recognize problems within it or historical crimes), and also some that were deeply critical of it (while being able to recognize achievements and positives from it). And they each got to write whole scripts that could make it to air with only minimal involvement of anything like a writers room or show runner watering it down. So you'd get somewhat schizophrenic performance and depictions of various characters or the Federation itself, but this could be read as reflecting some kind of complexity within the Federation rather than being just a 'plot hole' or 'poor characterization/setting building'.

In Britain they had a similar thing with the original Dr Who, but it was people who bought into the British establishment and people who really didn't like it at all (all of them much more extreme but also much more polite than in Star Trek desu).

In general they believed that the audience could be trusted to make up their own mind in a way that doesn't happen today.
>>
>>223182352
The episode that’s most blatant with this is the one with the standoff with the Romulan warship. The captain is talking about blowing them all away so Picard holds a conference in their carpeted meeting room and everyone calmly discusses things sipping tea
>>
>>223184447
Yeah, there are magical exceptions for why when you do the things you complain about others doing it doesn't count - just like the jews. You're a golem.
>>
>>223182474
Faggot tranny say what?

>>223184518
Prove to me Muslims are humans without crying about Jews
>>
>>223184515
In general the Federationers in TNG really do reflect a whole new culture, in fact they have some very strange cultural elements from our perspective. We continued to get some of this through DS9 and VOY, and some echoes in ENT. The new films and series have all mainly put modern humans into space, only somewhat idealized through a liberal/progressive lens. TOS was more like idealized Americans in space.
>>
>>223184515
Generally watching older stuff involving some sort of military service (yes I know starfleet technically isn’t a military) everyone is always calm and professional and respects the chain of command

These days they always scream and swear and violate orders because they personally disagree with them, usually if it’s a woman officer
>>
>>223184561
Prove you can engage in good faith arguments, golem.
>>
>>223184692
So no evidence they’re human then

Sorry I don’t worship shitskins like you
>>
>>223184732
>"only white people such as myself (actually a beige colored muttmerican golem) can follow international law such as don't torture"
>proceeds to carry out the biggest torture and surveillance operations in human history
>"those don't count" :^)
Stop pretending you're civilized.

>>223184494
>In general they believed that the audience could be trusted to make up their own mind in a way that doesn't happen today.

That's because today if your allowed to make your own opinion it won't be the one they want you to have so they force feed it to you.

I mean, its really a question of torturing any other individual. You might not be okay with that, which is fine, but a "snapshot" of my neurons is no different subjectively than you.
>>
>officers are calm and collected in a crisis

you can tell the writers are never actually in the military
