"Oh dear, my great great great great great grandson is a liberal."

As much as I love Picard, you have to admit his liberalism is frustrating as hell sometimes.

honestly he really isnt, he lives in the context of his times. he lives in a utopia, of course he wouldn't think that political power should be seized by force.

also i feel like his lack of liberalism is highlighted in the first episode and 'A Measure of a Man' where he realizes he was being racist to Data, rectifies it immediately, and later defends him against institutional racism and effectively alters policy

janeway is a fascist and a war criminal tho

You think he just fell out of a coconut tree? Picard exists in the context of all in which he lives, and what came before him.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Measure of a Man is so good.

Pete's dad looks over his extensive collection of USSR railway memorabilia

Son, how's the railway industry under your leadership? Is it improving the conditions of the working class?

Pete stares blankly at a picture of a bicycle wondering what parts could be removed to make it more efficient. Maybe if you took off the handelbars? He grumpily turns back to his father and says

Look, you blow up one town

Can you imagine? The shame

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

I'd say use it for media attention and publicising marxist thought but let's be real if they get too much attention there'll be an attempt on their lives.
