    This is completely wrong, and you probably shouldn’t be answering if you haven’t watched a single trek show.

      Can you explain further? Or do the articles you posted in your top level comment do so?

      That specific TOS episode sounds pretty dire as described. So id like to know what the counterpoint is.

        Yeah, read those first, or better, watch the show. I’d have to recall that specific episode, but a single star trek episode can’t undo several series each with hundreds of episodes of fully automated luxury gay space socialism. The op had not seen a single series, and was arguing by proxy.

        The old show had some cringe moments and episodes, but it’s spirit was also anti-imperialist and socialist. It even had chekov, a russian character, at the height of the cold war. Could you imagine a show nowadays having a chinese or russian character that isn’t openly liberal.
