  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I remember when Star Wars wasn't political. It was a time known as "the movie didn't even exist back then".

At least Star Trek remains unsullied by politics

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 48 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah. There's no need for politics anymore when you already have an intergalactic socialist utopia.

I'm a completely apolitical trans socialist in a queerplatonic relationship with a robotic hivemind, and I am OUTRAGED that some people these days are trying to politicise the prime directive and use it to force us to accept genetically engineered people!

"Ugh were those people not paying attention when history class went over the eugenics wars‽ Next they're going to suggest using nuclear weapons on inhabited worlds!"

What fediverse are you on where anyone is anything like that?

I mean I know some people here have their problems, but I don't think I've ever encountered anyone who checks all those boxes...

Ah shit, I was tired when I read "Federation" as "Fediverse", my bad...

Technically it's intra-galactic. As the Star Trek universe doesn't span multiple galaxies.

Ah, right you are. My mistake.

Sucks for all those other galaxies that are stuck with techno-feudal corpofascism...

Yep - it's an interstellar civilization!

It has nothing on Babylon 5 for proper right wing sci-fi entertainment

A take unironically expoused on fox news at some point
