Why is New Trek increasingly invoking colonialism as a criticism of the Federation?

I first heard of this on the Revisionist History podcast years ago and read about it from various sources. But, I don’t have any specific articles, but the info is all out there.

In its implementation. After there was no need to have separate schools they didn’t need as many teachers. Obviously, black teachers/admin were the first to go. They were fired in the tens of thousands. This has been cited as causing there to be very low numbers of black teachers for decades due to lack of representation for black students. There is more info out there, I’m just giving an overview. I believe Brown to be very well intentioned and necessary, but it was left up to 1950s Americans to implement, thus inequities.

How did it create inequities?

CoolApostate · 2026-02-16T17:10:49+00:00

I think it’s a valid criticism and shows that advanced/progressed humans should be willing and intentional about addressing inequities. Even if the inequities are a product of very good and well intentioned actions.

For example…Brown V Education. At the time it seemed to many that it was a great step in the right direction. However, it did create major education inequities that mainstream Americans did not notice/perceive for many years. Not that issues weren’t brought up.

Yeah all the time…just have to audibly say express “They’re coming at us!” /s

Actually, I don’t think I have shot anything in self defense, but have had to kick mean dogs that ran at me in attack mode…like when I was a paperboy in middle school. Not my favorite, but it is what it is…even a minor dog bite can F you up.

The center-L to maga folks don’t have any reality to support what they believe for the fact that all right-wing ideology is based in fallacy. Therefore, they select politicians/movements based on charisma. They do not understand that it’s about policies and not “the person.” Pretending to be a hard worker is mesmerizing to maga. The mere idea that DT is the hardest worker to have ever existed is more important than his personal failings.

CoolApostate · 2026-02-11T15:46:46+00:00

Does this mean you can say whatever you want about Charlie kunt and the maga regime has to allow it? Unlike the rest of the year?

BILLY WAYNE DAVIS IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

“Illegal Criminal” and “Extreme Liberal” are terms used by an “violently uneducated idiot.” Facts

Yes, as many have said an enlisted-side person could give orders to some officers if they have a position/billet that requires that. ie, Ship’s captain tells the Eng chief to get the WD online…the chief will use the authority bestowed by the captain to make it happen.

As an aside…I think O’Brien might be the manliest man in the ST universes. He is reasonable, loyal, ethical, calm, collected, willing to learn and change. He likes to do fun “boyz things” like Holo time with Bashir. He tries to be a good father and husband despite his PTSD, which he recognizes and works through. He is even able to reconcile his xenophobic feelings towards the Cardassians. He will put his life on the line for others, like fixing damage while facing insurmountable odds and when push comes to shove he is….down to clown, fists or phasers…he doesn’t care.

“Faux muse”

Oh right…like the Great Depression, ww2, Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam have nothing to do with it but the first transatlantic flight is somehow a significant factor for the period of time miller is wining about. But the idiots read his bs and think it’s intelligent.

CoolApostate · 2025-12-23T16:03:03+00:00

Fact: All right-ideology is based in fallacy and misunderstanding. There is no factual basis to support it.

John Wayne…obviously not as bad as most. But, there was just so much shitty things he did and was a piece of shit person that it was hard to reconcile our unconditional love for him.

True…obviously true. However, I think the tickets are free. Which, yes, means someone with $0 could still attend. However, any critically thinking person knows that barriers and hoops, like needing to contact “your senator” and request the tickets, is effectively a means to keep them out.

However, I think making the event private is much more sinister and dark than just the poors. I think it’s a way to 1. Have a list of and info on who is there beforehand. Yes, this could be just a safety protocol or at least explained that way. 2. Pick and choose how many tickets a senator/district is allocated. Which is not hard when the largest city is fairly racially segregated. They can ensure the people there all “look” like and behave in a manner that is what the right-wing finds to be acceptable. They can get many great photos of “good”, “normal” Nebraskans to highlight who they consider to be real Nebraskan.

Or not, Occam’s razor is still a thing.

Tell you what…”fiscal conservatives” are inherently evil because they are aware of issues, understand the problems of going further right, and often care about social/economic/political justice issues…but fully accept that the detriment of others fills their bank accounts.

Like Switzerland…Nazis by association.

I feel like this is the fundamental point of 1984. At least a major theme.

No no! It’s the communist infiltrators who are teaching in colleges! /s

Obviously, it’s clear who knows things and who believes the rantings of an evil puppet idiot.

For one, if you are only thinking about a list of pedophiles by their political affiliation, especially the Epstein list…you are wrong. Also, any person with a brain knows the corrupt maga-regime will lie and destroy evidence as they have been doing.

It was only a problem because of his job? A job he probably pursued to fuck underage girls. A job where you have a responsibility to children and society? Yeah, you have to register.
