Me living my gay life normally is a push to a narrative of... real life? Am I a living political agenda just because I exist?
Instead of seeing it as normal as the marriage of O'Brien being part of the normal life in DS9, if it is a gay marriage then it can't be part of life, it has to have some ulterior motivation.
But wasn't Star Trek a breaking barriers and frontiers state of the art revolutionary series?
Yes, it is. It has been and still is.
And still, you can watch The Original Series with an interracial kiss in one episode and light raping jokes in another episode. I mean... they were done by people of their time. Revolutionaries, but grown then.
And early TNG reused old TOS scripts. You can smell them.
The newer series do fan service referencing old series so you may miss jokes and references. Anyway, Strange New Worlds would be a good starting point. It doesn't matter if you miss references to enjoy it.
Older series "require" less previous knowledge because there is less lore to base them on. But sometimes the stories... didn't age well. Most of the episodes did, but for example the 1st season of TNG can be hard to watch for younger people.
Productivity has raised so much in the past decades that where you used to need four or five people working and paying taxes to maintain one pension, now we just need one or two. If we truly had a problem here we could even tax smarter the productivity and get more money for retired people without affecting the workers.
Plus, who says retirement needs to be paid by wage taxes? Why not by other means like taxes to the rich?
@Soktopraegaeawayok @socprof So the existence of lgbt people is a political statement.

Gods (as aliens) were a recurrent theme in TOS.
Remember Apollo. Or... what does god need with a starship?

That's not entirely true.
Productivity has raised so much in the past decades that where you used to need four or five people working and paying taxes to maintain one pension, now we just need one or two.

More likely to be hired if queer? On what universe??
