Remember that Picard canonically and tragically believes that political power does not flow from the barrel of a gun.

Which is a weird thing for the Captain of the Federation's flagship to believe tbh. Like, he is specifically in direct command of the gun from whose barrel political power flows.

He did grow up in a French vineyard

The Federation abolished fr*nce several generations before his birth

Apparently not well enough

Weirdly, it is canonical that the br*tish royal navy still existed alongside the United Earth Starfleet as late as the mid 2100s since Malcolm Reed mentions having considered joining it instead.

I like to think they have that coastgard because they have to defend their coasts from relentless waves of orcas that are taking revenge on humanity for killing all the whales.

he lives in a utopia, of course he wouldn't think that political power should be seized by force. also that relation would likely no longer exist, at least for the average citizen of the federation
