When the working class revolts, the Uber rich will just use misinformation to blame it on the blacks/Jews/gays/<insert popular minority here> and the working class will kill them instead

That's how it always has worked, the working class isnt exactly know for seeing through propaganda. This is also the reason why in the US, the Republican party works so hard to destroy education. Dumb people are easier to control, easier to lie to, easier to suppress.

Don't say it ain't so, this shit is right now happening with Trump, and large swathes of the working class are lapping up his lies as if it were caviar, even though Trump is the very prime target they should direct their anger to.

Well, Obama tired playing by the rules to which the Republicans just kicked the pieces over and shat all over the board.

phoenixz ,

If Trump wins then that's it, for the world, really. The US will convert to a theocratic dictatorship, ruled by religious doomsday nuts with nukes. Trump is, as usual, the puppet of Putin, so do expect the US not only to withdraw from Europe, I fully expect him to actively help Russia to conquer more parts of Europe than the USSR ever had.

Am I overthinking and overstating things? Most of it is based off Trump's words and actions, the Republican 2025 documents, and well... Maybe a lot of pure cynicism as well, as I've seen humanities behaviorfall of a cliff

Top Republican says party base "infected" by Russian propaganda ( www.newsweek.com )

Russian propaganda pushed by the Kremlin has “infected” part of the Republican base, a senior GOP congressman has said, as indications grow that a vital U.S. military package for Ukraine will come up for a vote with U.S. lawmakers this month....

phoenixz ,

Keep in mind there that the Russian population is literally 10 times bigger than the Netherlands, and that the territory size (which they need to defend and all) is over 400 times bigger.

Russia is coming this far by acting like an asshole, posturing like they are strong whilst they are really weak, and just plain cheating where possible.

One wonders why the Republican party likes them so much…

phoenixz ,

No. Please, no.

The Picard show was already dreadfully bad and has effectively destroyed TNG and Q for me, please let the dead body rest on piece, no more.

phoenixz ,

Everything about ST Picard is trash. Dialogue, script, Character behavior, 50 years of fransche history ignored, it was all written and executed by people who don’t like star Trek, cast excluded though I just don’t understand why any of the vast was on board with this turd. We’re they so desperate for money?

phoenixz ,

Everything nu trek since those godawful reboot movies has been utter shit, really.

St Discovery was painfully funny in a really bad way.

St Picard ruined TNG and all its characters for me, great going. Haven’t rewatched TNG ever since

St prodigy cartoon was just painfully bad again

There is more but I stopped watching and I’m not wasting my time on modern trek anymore, it’s dead, please let it rot in peace.

phoenixz ,

I saw the trailers of lowerdecks and wisely decided that star trek was dead. That cringy “shields up down” song and the “big guys” chest bumping eachother because that is what real men do… It was so cringy, I’m sorry, that is not star trek

phoenixz ,

Eh, no.

Discovery had no merits beyond glorifying space Jesus who was so much better than Spock? It was trash, and if possible, Picard was even worse. Absolute garbage written and produced by people who self professedly didn’t know star trek, had no interest in making star trek, and wanting to use the platform to push through their political views. How anyone ever even expected any of that shit to be any good is beyond me.

phoenixz ,

Yeah, heard all that a hundred times about the shit movies, about discovery and Picard (but this season, I swear, it’s great!) and none of it had anything to do with star trek, was not made by people who know and love star trek and I’m done with it. Not wasting my time anymore

phoenixz ,

Try the Orville. It’s a bit more humorous but VERY much in the star trek spirit, more than modern Trek does anyway

    Unless you’re part of the alternative facts crew like a certain ex president who keeps claiming to be one whilst factually not being one

    phoenixz ,

    It you just stop sleeping, you’ll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you’re job. It’ll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!

    It WILL set you apart

    phoenixz ,

    I completely agree with you, I feel like this about all nu trek. Star trek enterprise was the last star trek that was star trek and anything produced since has been star drek.

    I tried watching the dumb pew pew movies I really did. They are ALL godawful and have nothing to do with star trek.

    I tried watching STD, I really did. I dropped out somewhere S2 in disgust.

    I tried watching Picard, I really did. They ruined Picard and data. Then they ruined Guinan and Q. Then they ruined the entire TNG cast.

    I stopped watching star trek, all of it, for a long time now because of that shite.it used to be my most favorite show, I have dozens of books, miniature ships, games and whatnot.

    I switched to the Orville. It started as a sort of parody and then accidentally or not became the best trek made in the past 20 years

    phoenixz ,

    Nope, and not going to. Why? Because I was told the same about the new trek movies. They. Sucked. So badly. I was told the same about discovery. It was cringe bad, hateful, spiteful, it was horrible. Then I was told the same about Picard. And hey, it’s Picard, this MUST be like TNG, right? RIGHT?

    Picard was godawful. Season one ruined Picard and Data. It ruined seven of nine. It ruined Starfleet, it ruined the federation. Picard is now a bumbling old man who gets put in his place by women because … I dunno. Sheer fucking hubris ! Because that’s how we talk now in star trek. Season two managed to fuck over Guinan and Q and the Borg. It was aweful. All built up history is just optional now, just ignore every, do what we want just so we can tell vapid dumb stories. Then. Season three… The entire cast of TNG. All ruined. Beverly, who once disobeyed an order to help a terrorist is now a black ops cold blooded killer or something, whatever…They ruined the fucking enterprise herself. And the entire Borg thing (thanks for ruining it twice in a row) and the sad sad changeling storyline…

    I’m done.

    Star trek was important to me, it shaped my life, it made me who I am today. Believe me, I try to be a better guy every day because of star trek. Classic trek, that is.

    That’s why it is pissing me off so much that nu trek has been treated so piss poorly by people that didn’t know trekz didn’t care about it, and just wanted to used it as a platform for their political stance. You’ve fucking ruined something great and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    Edit: “you” meaning paramount, and instill have hopes that the Orville will come back but please no more season3 crap, they too went the nu trek way with loads of CGI pew pew and vapid stories

    phoenixz ,

    Eh, you’re correct about Voyager being bad for the Borg. Then again Voyager was the weakest of all classic treks.

    On the comment of Picard “being put in his place by a woman”: I have no problem with female leaders. Admiral Nechayev was nice, Janeway could have been so much more… The problem is that the nu trek show runners on multiple occasions talked about their… Political leanings and literally said that they don’t care about trek, don’t care what it was and literally that trek is their political platform, and it shows.

    It’s not about that Picard gets dressed down by a woman, it’s about that women suddenly are all can’t-do-wrong Mary sues whereas the men are all bumbling no-goods. Also notice that women mostly behave like on-my-high-horse assholes. Again, “sheer fucking hubris” kinda says it all. Can you imagine any Admiral saying THAT in TNG/DS9?

    Not to mention the graphic violence. “But it happened that one time in TNG too!”. Yeah, there is this one crazy episode there amongst hundreds whereas nutrek just had your daily dose of violence. I’ll watch “the boys” for that (I do recommend if you’re into dark humor)

    This is not star trek. And no, I’m not going to give it my time anymore

    phoenixz ,

    But but, how will I apply rules for thee but not for me? How will I apply freedom of speech of I cannot block the speech of those that I don’t like?

    That’s fine. I rather have them take it slow and good than fast and mess it up
