The Bajorans are pretty poo poo, there were way too many episodes featuring their bullshit space religion and way too few episodes with Cardassian spycraft mind-loving everyone

At least Quark was cool just because it was like the show writers said "what if we basically go whole hog on the libertarianism angle and show how supremely stupid and abhorrent libertarianism is"

Honestly I wouldn't have been too mad if the Federation went "you know what gently caress these dumb people" and let the Cardassians roll back into Bajora, maybe firebombing a few Bajoran field offices on their way out of the system just for laughs

Dude don't ask those kinds of questions, Star Trek isn't about having a consistent plot or keeping the details of your world straight, it's about paying people to write the shallowest poo poo possible while maintaining enough of a veneer of intellectualism to draw in the large fraction of the nerd population who think they're much smarter than they actually are.

But he already ascended to another plane of existence by then, how is she going to get him on the phone to badger him about granddaughters.

Even if that's the plan, he'd have to figure Wesley would just get bored with being a creepy god and show up unannounced one day in a Starfleet uniform like nothing ever happened.

No, you listen to NPR. You sit there and you listen to old reruns of Car Talk and Prairie Home Companion and you donate during their pledge drives and you wear that loving tote bag like a badge of honor, as it is your verification to the rest of the world that "yes, I am an intellectual"

And then for further assurance you use your iPhone (holy poo poo you better not have an Android) and you search for "famous quotes" in google and then when you find some cool smart sounding ones you post one of them to twitter every day for a month. That lets everyone know that you're a serious intellectual. Look at this guy; he quoted Payne and Gandhi on two subsequent days! What a genius

And then from then on they make callbacks to the fact that he plays the flute now. That was a legit cool episode and a cool persistent detail of the world, which makes me think that it wasn't the writing staff responsible but like the janitor coming in after hours and editing the scripts himself to include that level of persistence

The firebombing in North Carolina can't be divorced from the context where it happened. Arson was one of many weapons used to enforce white supremacy in the South, especially against a business or property combined with further threat against the person if they didn't leave town. These are literally some of the KKK's favorite tactics, just used against someone other than their usual targets. The only difference is that they never bothered with expository graffiti because it was deadly clear what they wanted.

So when a building gets firebombed complete with a "We don't want your kind around these parts" message, yeah it's possible that some random leftist managed to get the tactics pitch-perfect except for that little bit where it's the emptiest threat in human history. The whole point of it is to prove that local law enforcement lets you operate with impunity and nobody is going to believe that in this case. It's also possible that some right wing nitwit decided to use the tactics they learned from hanging out with a bunch of older people tied up with white supremacist groups to launch their own false flag operation.

Even the most liberal places in the south still have plenty of conservatives who have lived there for decades and are resentful of newcomers invading what they see as their rightful territory. They want to paint liberal Orange county as the exact same as Jim Crow except aimed at people like them and this is exactly what you'd end up with.
