Project 1999 - the i dont care about politics anymore thread

There really is not a great argument for it. That's why I will never argue that abortion is moral.

I did in the past.

And you are right. I wanted to do my best to argue in favor of less legislation. I feel like I did. Thank you for supporting your position. And yes, the absence of a law isn't necessarily more or less moral than the existence of one.

I prefer to do things honestly and in good faith.

as an aside, I wonder if startrek is actually hard conservatism.

Uniforms/well dressed.

Strict hierarchy.

Prime directive (super pro life).

Picard inherited a vineyard.

No movies and video games.

Im beginning to think it's a myth that this is a progressive utopia, and start believing it's a fascist one.

It's like, you think it's just well organized communism at worst, but when you find out it's pro lifer old white dudes who inherit family money it's like haha whoa momma the clue's were right in our faces :D

Cant have an estate tax, if you get rid of taxes by eliminating physical dollars and making invested wealth the only economy!

Even for this forum with its many fascist sympathizers and Trumptards, this idea is dumb as hell.

In a black and white world its simple to say its less moral to have abortions than not.

To argue against abortion is to argue against the mother's freedom of choice.

Picard is always shameful about his families estates and constantly justifying everything he has on the basis of merit.

I also believe he's not necessarily wrong.

It's extremely conservative.

There are also a ton of impoverished worlds which are either impoverished or neglected to maintain the legitimacy and authority of the federation. See the cardassian and federation demiliterized zone.

They have replicator technology. The Picard series made zero sense in the ST universe. The one scene with the lady brow-beating Jean Luc about wealth.. she lives in a trailer in the future but cant ask the replicator for nicer things.
