ComradeRat [he/him, they/them]

She’s always been a good poster in addition to a good activist. I remember after trump called her an angry little girl who needs to watch movies with her friends she changed her twitter bio to that

Cool speech now give them the nukes back

If they shared their gyoza maybe the bears wouldnt be angry

My grandmother has told me that her home town back in the 50s had lots of bears just roaming around and everyone was fine. Theyd just give the bears space and walk the other way. Really, they dont usually* wanna eat you, just yourr food. Just dont get in the way (or god forbid, between them.and their cubs) and u’ll usually be fine. And also stop destroying their habitats, so they dont get hungry and come into town. Its really easy!

* polar bears excepted

Uncritical support to comrade bear in their struggle against the oppression of all bearkind

Individuated vs collective is a good way to put it imo. The focus of TOS and early TNG was the collective enterprise, with most characters being “shallow” and “static”. From tng ~s2 onwards, the focus became individual characters, their feelings and interpersonal relationships instead of “monster/planet/philosophical problem of the week”

But for me the biggest issue with nu trek (all trek after the original animated series with the exception of the movie) is the vibe is off

Trek has all been downhill since TOS, with the sole exceptions of the animated series and the whale movie

TOS was made by people with a (utopian, lib at times) actual vision and hope for the future. TNG and onward (especially after riker grows the beard) was made by people increasingly resentful of the utopian and “weird” (positive, silly) spirit of TOS, but forced to occasionally pay token tribute to it as they turn the franchise into “star wars but with less magic” to chase mainstream scifi bucks.

That isnt to say all trek after tos are bad, just they dont feel like they have the same utopian spirit as TOS to me so i dont like them as much
