era magical socialism is predicated on the notion that materialistic consumerism is the good part of 'capitalism', and the 'those who do not work do not eat' labour for product part is the broken bit that should be abolished.

I cba to find it, but insert nepspierres rant about "why don't I have a second house???" as the biggest problem with modern america here

It does make me wonder what they are even proposing ever. And who should be responsible for doing it.

"Get out of your ignorance from the propaganda you've been fed. Everything should be provided and nobody should have to do anything for it. It's basic human decency."

But then where does the everything come from?

"It's not my job to educate you."

Ummmmmm, chuddy?  Have you not seen Star Trek?

as far as I can tell, it literally is everyones job in star trek to educate people, they literally will go into an explanation dump about whatever it is theyre talking about at the drop of a hat, even using extended metaphors to help illustrate the point they're making and attempting to ensure the listener full understands the concepts being discussed.

now, sure, we could consider that the staff of the flagship are the types who'd sit at the front of the class and always raise their hands first while era types are, lets be honest, probably staying over the summer or repeating a year, but still

They get really pissed off at Star Fleet command when you fail to trick some poor backwater into the federation because they need serfs to produce for space communism ya see kids commie shit doesn't work!

resetera: derp space 9

Actually the reason the Dominion failed was because of constant starfleet propaganda and interference constantly undermining them.
If you read the original thoughts of the founders, all they wanted was a peaceful harmonious socety for all, which is at odds with the paternalistic so called authority of the federation, imposing its 'prime directive' on planets before they even know of its existence and denying them even basic medical aid if they don't meet some arbitrary 'advancement' criteria.

Also you federation are so quick to jumping to talk about the romulan reunification with its natural territoy of vulcan, but not so quick to bring up all of the thousands of live wasted at wolf 359, are you?

So I was forced to attend a court martial at starfleet academy the other day about my supposed terrorist sympathising, just because I was supplying the Maquis with mutagenic weapons, like thats somehow wrong now?

In my holonovel about kahless "Gobs of blood wine" I explore an honour based set of societal guidelines based on courage and might I like to call "take a bat'leth leave a bat'leth" but y'all federation sympathisers aren't ready to hear that you have no honour cowering behind your intellects and rules.

I used to play (or tried to play) Star Trek the role-playing game 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Role_Playing_Game

Star Trek: The Role Playing Game (1983) has a tactical combat system in which battles are simulated using a square grid, and is based on the FASA board game Grav-Ball (1982).

with my friends. One of the problems role-playing Star Trek is the economy, jobs etc. When you have transporters and replicators it really messes things up.

We eventually just played the Star Trek RPG like Battle Tech. They had a whole side thing for ship combat which was kind of fun. We could replicate Starfleet versus Klingon romulans fights. To ya I was a uber-nerd

All of the workers have been directly and grievously harmed by the capitalist class for centuries. What needs to be understood is that most people are simply unaware of the dynamics of their own oppression under a capitalist system.

Individualism and celebrity distractions will not solve this issue. You need mass organization.

f you can stomach going into conservative circles online that aren't just total fascist brainrot, you will see a lot of conservatives actually fundamentally understand that they are getting screwed by capitalists through no fault of their own. They're right on the edge of a basic leftist consciousness but don't have the knowledge to formulate a better analysis due to propagandization and pre-existing base principles about hierarchy, making them either susceptible to blaming minorities for their misfortune or just leaving unable to really conclude their thoughts. The latter is funny; they'll be like "Hey, I'm working harder and yet my pay isn't going up. But all these rich guys are getting richer.................................. Well'p, I'm signing off. Catch you guys later." Like dude, no! Spend two more seconds on it!

So close, yet so far away.

It's always, "we need to SOLVE this but not with votes but with ACTION,  You know the kind,  ."  And when someone finally does something it's a sexy, white, rich man and she can't support an Italian. 

Even if he didn't do it, can we just act like he did? There are bigger things at stake here 

This, in fact, has been argued on Resetera in the past.

I think it was Red Mercury who proposed on such a past story, that even though he is innocent in this case we don't know if he has raped others. 

Today ree continues their tradition of being insufferable hypocrites

The craziest one was pulling the dungeons and dragons episode from community. I'm also not a big fan of the Always Sunny episodes being pulled because I feel like it's understood that "The Gang" are awful humans and shouldn't be replicated.
Conversely, I am more okay with a South Park episode being pulled because a lot of the audience are thick as shit and idolise Cartman despite it being blatantly obvious that nobody should.

Things I like shouldn't be censored. Conversely I'm ok with things I don't like being censored

"the educated and literati, like my self and others, can appreciate the nuance and charm of the black face.  But those crass proles can't be trusted to appreciate it on the same levels." 
Even with them saying it's fine no one will step forward and say Tina Fey with 30 Rock and Sarah Silverman were acceptable.  White women can't be trusted to understand black face.

All of Resetera now believes banning episodes is dumb. All of Resetera? Well... not quite

I'm not sure why we constantly need television episodes disparaging the act of blackface by having some dumbfuck 'accidentally' do it.

White people know blackface is wrong, so there's little educational value there. It continues to be perpetuated because white people don't actually give a shit about harming Black people, mainly because there's no meaningful social or legal consequences for doing so 99 times out of 100.

Blackface episodes completely miss the root of the problem, which is that white people are and largely always have been unwilling to police their racism. Blackface depiction then just comes across as self-indulgant. It's Tarantino saying the n-word.

Has anyone noticed that Resetera will believe in the most woke bullshit ever, but whenever it's called out as being "performative", suddenly a few of them will somehow understand how silly it is?

You could take the same exact thing but from a completely different angle, like "hey guys look, chuds are angry that these controversial episodes are banned!", and then most of them would be like "well it's good thing it's banned, freaking chuds!"

I'm not exactly shocked, as absolutely shambolic as Adams is, the optics of a white governor removing the city's second black mayor in it's 250 year history (and being the first governor to use that power ever) isn't exactly great for her. She's still a coward for not doing it though.

From the story:

Instead, the governor will unveil new state and city bills that would increase oversight of the mayor’s office. That includes creation of a new state deputy inspector general with broad authority to watch over the city’s dealings, the sources told Gothamist.

...

But Hochul has resisted using that authority, calling it antidemocratic as recently as earlier this month.

The governor appeared to reconsider her stance after Sassoon’s allegation became public last week and again when Adams’ key deputies announced their resignation on Monday. On Tuesday, she held a series of one-on-one meetings to discuss the mayor’s fate with New York City officials and leaders, including City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards. Some, like the Rev. Al Sharpton and U.S. Rep. Greg Meeks of Queens, urged her to hold off on acting until a federal judge decided whether to formally dismiss the case.

By Thursday, the governor had made up her mind and declined to remove Adams for now, while instead pushing for greater state oversight.

The criminal bribery and fraud charges against Adams remain pending. U.S. District Judge Dale Ho reserved judgment on the matter after he held a hearing on the matter on Wednesday, promising that he would render his decision soon.

From the thread:

Let the fecklessness continue!

Why waste more of my money on watchdogs instead of fixing the problem.

Coward.

Nothing has consequences.

Spineless.

What a coward ass motherfucker. I should have went into politics instead of real work. Jesus H christ

Of course she won't. Useless.

Primary this clown! Fuck her. Absolutely useless.

This is why constantly lose... lol

I'm still waiting for a democrat to step up and fight fire with fire.

This is why Dems lose. Republicans are going scorched earth on everything and we can't even rock the fucking boat a little.

This is why people criticize Dems. They have the easiest move to make imaginable and they still won't do it. They're too scared to do ANYTHING.

It's genuinely insane that the governor has the power to remove the mayor, but if there were ever a time to abuse your weird loophole power, it's now. The man is agreeing to sell out immigrants in the city to the Gestapo to avoid prosecution for having been a secret agent of the Turkish state. There has never been an easier target to use all your powers against

Democrats not being massive coward challenge (impossible)

It does seem like a crazy amount of power that could absolutely be abused. So in theory I can understand somebody saying they should not use it because it would set up a dangerous precedent, but seriously fuck that. If the power is too much, then the power needs to be taken away completely. But it's there, so use it. Democrats need to stop being afraid of using the power they actually have otherwise everyone will be in shock when a Republican gets control and uses all the levers available to them.

as expected. nothing even resembling a correct action ever happens

Clown country continues honking red nose, next act more pie to the face.

With every passing month I'm more inclined to not be registered to any party. I'll still vote for democrats, and while I know it's RRR government nationally, it's unbelievable how much of a fucking mess they are right now. Hochul can EASILY do the right thing with zero risk in NY.

Yeah, this is why they lose.

This is difficult to talk about but my daughter has been hospitalized twice now for expressing suicidal ideation. She's 12 and has dealt with a lot of bullying for being autistic and queer. I can barely deal with it. It crushes my whole soul. My ex-wife and I are doing absolutely everything we can for her, therapy, psychiatry, sensory diet, locking up dangerous objects at home. But kids are going through it, especially now that the MAGA dipshits are running the show.

I feel for this dude's kid but I think I may have diagnosed an aggravating factor here...

As a father of 4 kids, and my oldest just turned 11, this hurts the core of my soul. What a tragedy. This is why I ask my kids every single day how their day was at school and if anything happened, if anyone messed with them, if they're feeling alright. Not saying the parents didn't do that here either, but just more of a wake up call for me. RIP.
