It’s pedantic, but I wouldn’t blame society as a whole but the few psychos at the top of the pyramid (e.g. tech billionaires, corrupt politicians, etc)

Most of society (+99%) just wants to have their needs met, and when given the proper support are good people. The elite bastards spew so much propaganda and fund things against our interests that a lot of people can’t be their best selves.

That’s good, shame for export potential but it’s not like the US lets us easily buy imports anyway

Not defending it but this car wouldn’t keep up with the regular roads I drive to work. I’m curious how quickly it can accelerate too

I had a guy reply to my 8 year old post once, seemed legit

Sometimes people revive ghost threads from google searches.

I’m mainly responding to your quote about new things being against the established order and my view of NuTrek is extremely biased since I mainly get my information from RedLetterMedia but do you think NuTrek ackchyually can sit on its own laurels?

I did watch Picard’s 3 seasons and I think it highlighted pretty well the problems with NuTrek:

• retconning established lore to the extreme (slavery vis a vis androids is cool with the federation, earth has super drug problems)
• gratuitous violence (I was disgusted watching the equivalent of SAW with the Borg torture porn)
• action action action (can’t have any philosophy, gotta have fast paced machinegun phaser shootouts)

I could probably come up with more issues, but it’s been a bit and I’m never rewatching Picard. NuTrek is a far cry from the old thinking man’s trek and is really watered down.
