When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll "Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?". Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly "Borg Cube", but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.

So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said "Death Star".

So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

People use the fact that characters on DS9 pay for things at Quark's as a gotcha proving Star Trek is secretly capitalist when like. First of all, DS9 leaned way more into the idea of the Federation not having money than the others, not just in all the Ferengi subplots but also having a whole episode where Jake has to find a roundabout way to get a baseball card bc he doesn't use money.

But also DS9...can't really be used to prove anything about the Federation because it's not in the Federation? DS9 is a Bajoran space station in Bajoran space run by Starfleet, something happening on Deep Space Nine the station doesn't imply anything clearly about what it'd be like on a space station inside the Federation. Also "Starfleet pays the crew some latinum bc it's not a Federation station" is a more plausible explanation than "actually, the entity we've been told dozens of times has no money or profit motive secretly does"

in light of police across the country cracking down on pro palestine protests with brutal force, it feels like a great time to remind everyone to shut the fuck up around cops. don't make small talk, dont act friendly, don't fucking engage with them!! if you are arrested DO NOT speak without a lawyer present. protest organizers, get into contact with local pro bono lawyers who can be there for your arrested comrades. no matter what, if cops are there, shut the fuck up unless you are actively doing a protest chant. dont tell cops why you were there, dont tell them if you're affiliated with the school you may be protesting at, dont tell them if you came there with anyone, dont tell them anything!!!

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.
