This is going to happen. Whether or not it's ever "official policy", people are going to be killed by this.

Fellas, is it gay to have sex with your wife?

It's looking for a gotcha moment to take out of context. During the last Australian federal election the then-Opposition leader (now Prime Minister) was asked what the Reserve Bank cash rate was and he didn't know off the top of his head. The media and now-former government tried to beat it up as a big problem and proof that he wasn't fit to be PM, which is ridiculous (though his actual performance as PM so far is underwhelming). It did lead to a great moment a couple of days later though when they tried it on the leader of the Greens, who just replied "Google it, mate".

Unfortunately the press and the peanut gallery have it very wrong on this one.

Deliberately. Comparing it to the Purge rather than the Kristallnacht gives the majority of people who only read the headline the wrong idea about what he actually meant, which derails the discussion towards "crazy old man says another crazy thing" rather than "crazy old fascist says another fascist thing".

He can be two things. He's a lying piece of shit who is also in rapid cognitive decline.

Which games will be forgotten? The overwhelming majority of them. Which games from the early 2000s are still talked about now? There are some, but a lot more have been completely forgotten.

Fox News cut him off to protect their audience from seeing that the emperor has no clothes on. It's far from the first time they've done it.

Replicators being unusable because of power shortages was an early plot point in Voyager, and there are things that can't just be replicated since they often had to trade with friendly civilisations that they encountered.

Of course, the real answer is that they went with whatever rules suited the plot at the time, consistency be damned.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Considering their lead singer died 7 years ago I highly doubt it.
