I mean the Republican's response to Gaza was pretty much "Heh heh heh yeah...we can totally spin this to justify an invasion of Iran!" so yeah I would call them pretty loving clueless and stuck in 2003.

Hatebag posted:there's definitely some japanese stuff going on with the klingons too. and i think the federation typically behaves more like a midpoint between the un and nato. nothing is really a 1:1 analog though. even the cardassians aren't perfect representations of israelis. plus the shows were all written by different people and produced by a series of degenerate abusive cokeheads so the uh racial characterizations aren't 100% consistent either Yeah, nailing any of the Races down to one culture in Star Trek doesn't really work. Kingons Are Feudal Samurai Viking Russians. Vulcans are Japanese Roman Greek Philosophers. Romulans are Chinese Roman Spartans. Bajorans are Midwestern Jewish Palestinians. Cardassians are Italian Fascist Nazi Japanese Imperialist Israelis. Ferengi are...a number of unfortunate stereotypes mashed together with American capitalists. That's something I like about them actually. It makes them more well rounded and believable. Clip-On Fedora has issued a correction as of 09:14 on Dec 7, 2023 |

Ardennes posted:Remember, Russians were also thought of as Asian drunken aggressive brutes so it is saying more about how American writers thought of them than their own culture. Also, yeah the Bajorans are specifically supposed to be Israelis, not necessarily Jews. Remember also, back in the 1990s, Palestinians were only terrorists and only Israelis were spiritual freedom fighters. Yeah, I will admit that this is pretty much just my own interpretation. It is interesting how context and history change how we interpret these shows. Courageous Israeli freedom fighters become courageous Palestinians.

Fell Mood posted:If you have actual industries, that's an opportunity for labor to gain power. Send the factories oversees to use cheap semi slave labor to break the unions. Break up production so that the parts for a plane are sourced from 30 different states instead of a central industrial area. Do away with pensions, lower salaries, and force lower skilled workers to try to do the work. Worship the small business owners so that any remaining capacity is decentralized. Its been in the DNA of this country since the very beginning. America was formed on the principle that land owners should have the absolute freedom to do anything they wanted, and paradoxically since you can't have absolute freedom if everyone is free, the land owners began to find ways to ensnare everyone else in chains. Capitalism was ultimately embraced by America because it was the best way to ensure absolute freedom for a select few by denying it to everyone else.

I’m thinking all that talk a year back about Russia’s nuclear weapons not working anymore might have been some serious projection

Crazycryodude posted:Lmao there's a couple folks in a discord server I frequent that are very insistent on the fact that Australia will absolutely be getting their AUKUS subs by the early 2030s, because the US failing to deliver would be a sign that they're an unreliable partner and the United States of America would never even consider taking payment up front for subs that will come late. The idea that the subs will come never is so heretical that it gets moderators called on you. It's kind of hilarious how much white foreigners trust the United States of America.
