That is a very machivellian attitude. I don't believe that hurting people who aren't a threat in the name of "progress" is justified, even if it were somehow a shortcut to utopia, which it's not.

I will engage with you in the context of your original proposition but I will not engage with Gish Galloping.

I didn't say anything about pacifism, but I also disagree with your proposition equating violence and politics. Violence is a breakdown of politics. Politics, almost definitionally, is how a people settle disputes without violence.

Politics is how how decisions are made in groups. If one person or group is forcing their will upon others, then no decision or compromise between the parties can be said to have been made freely. And therefore it cannot be truthfully described as following a political process.

It is, but diplomacy refers to disputes between peoples. Politics refers to disputes within a people.

Canon Connections: DIS 5x04 - Face the Strange

• The arms merchant whom we see Moll and L’ak dealing with appears to be an Annari, who were introduced in the VOY episode, “Nightingale”, which I mention only because I believe it is the first time we’ve seen a member of Delta Quadrant species in DIS, though not the first mention....

Well I did not expect time travel shenanigans in a story about the progenitors but I am not complaining. Really enjoying this season so far.

These two episodes were really enjoyable. Discovery is not my favorite Trek series but I have been looking forward to this final season.

Book and Saru are examples of positive masculinity on television, what does that mean to you?

Doug Jones: Thank you for thinking I am masculine at all.

I’m not but I also was not interested in a show about a space station and that turned out to be my absolute favorite so I will judge it on its own merits.

The title is a misquote:

“We wrote nine episodes at one point and the network was like, ‘No, we don’t really understand this, it’s a bit too sci-fi, it’s a bit too in- Star Trek.’”

A weird choice Trekmovie is usually better than this

EDIT I see it was already addressed

Is this a copypasta joke I don’t get or are you just giving an unsolicited opinion in a thread on a completely unrelatd topic
