I think Sisko gets misunderstood on this point. It's not unlike Picard in First Contact, when he starts to take the Borg incursion too personal. Or analogous in some way to the "Corrupt Admiral" trope. It's not to Gene's utopia views for sure, but it shows real fallible characters and the story of them.

I struggle with it. I know he needs an international ally to protect him, but running to Russia and having nothing to say about their bullshit comes across sour to me. I'm thankful, at least, for the information he provided.

The Jewish people live on stolen land. Remind me what happened on May 14, 1948. This isn't some ancient claim. It was a bait and switch by England. Benny is just getting old and deciding like all the old boomers that he's going to solidify some legacy and die off unaccountable.

I've come around myself. Centralized government allows those mutants a shot at an expanded Executive seat of power. Federation allows them to fester in their own state.

We can't forcibly save dumb white trash. We can just make Illinois, California, and New York capable of taking the refugees in.

Spicy. Hard truth no one wants to acknowledge. You don't beat cancer by ignoring it until it's metastasized everywhere then try to make deals with it for your life.

Modern conservativism is a moral and economic cancer. It breeds to harm people. We need to disenfranchise those cancerous people one way or another. Federate them into their own states to run into the ground or put them there ourselves.

I'm convinced Bungie is still chasing the specter of eSports PvP. So, they're "adapting" their PvE square peg to fit in a PvEvP round hole.

This has flop written all over it. Why can Marathon get contextual ping but Destiny doesn't? How do you make a loot chase where you might loose all your loot in a round?
