Discuss Star Trek: Picard

But what if Picard IS Trump?

Think about it.

There are a lot of details that can be included, but I'll settle for a rough outline.

Some people claim that Trump turned the wonderful US and federal government that Obama had created, into a cesspool... even before he was sworn into office, really.

But the "Deep State" and such have been around for a long time. FBI misbehavior - including spying on Trump and the Trump campaign - occurred during the Obama administration

On Star Trek, we might find that problems with the Federation/Starfleet in general and with Earth in particular, were developing for a long time. And that Picard's departure from Starfleet was not just from a single out-of-the-blue or out-of-left-field event. Even in the TNG and DS9 series-es, we saw what could be evidence of increasing problems and corruption "back home." For example, in the two-part DS9 episode "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost." Picard has been seeing all of that going on during his lifetime.

Similarly, Trump has been around and involved in business, and somewhat in politics, for a long time too.

So now in Star Trek: Picard, we're going to get Picard rising up to take on the problems back home, etc etc.

Just like Trump.

I await the exploding heads.

Hey we were just trying to explain why the Romulan Maid had such a heavy Irish accent it is a good thing we in the Netherlands subtitle every foreign series and movies otherwise we wouldn't understand half the things she is saying. Next Picard episode Star Trek Rivendel

Explain the Romulan Ninjas to me. Also why does Datas painting of Dahj look like a scene from Wuthering Heights? Do synths drink synthahol? So many questions.

Is that like Star Trek: Riverdance?

No like it's the place where Picard and his band of merry men pick up the Romulan Elf Elnor .Who very much looks like Legolas from LOTR.

Oh, I don't follow/read/watch/etc LOTR at all. And I think Riverdance is funnier anyway. The Bringloidi were Irish, after all.

Don't give the writers too many silly ideas Knix.Besides Elnor(or should I say Elron(d) geez these writers are so ff-in transparent as transparent aluminum)is only listed for two episodes just like Brent Spiner(so that dream scene was all we get to see of him),Frakes,Sirtis and DeLancie will be in one episode each of the 11 episodes.Ryan in 6 episodes Hugh in 4 .

Swedish,

It's not a matter of White Privilege. It is a matter of White WILLFUL Ignorance on the part of some; TRUE ignorance on the part of others. And Nexus it's not just Africa and Native Americans...triy the ENTIRE glove!! Some of you guys REALLY don't know exactly how insidious and destructive your forefathers have been to the globe do you? I guess history is written by the victor. Don't trust me, if you want to know your TRUE ancestry and understand the vile nature of what is in your genes, go and educate yourselves. If I tell you you will think I am making it up.

But I'll try. Today ALL the civil discord and wars in ALL PARTS of the world can be laid squarely at the fret of the modern white man. This is NOT to say they are they ONLY victors and conquerors in history. Yes, Europe too was invaded and to a degree enslaved. What is particularly insidious about the most recent history is the deseased nature of your ancestors crimes.

Stealing ALL the lands that didn't belong to you; decimating ALL native societies you encountered; and worst of all planting seeds of white superiority that would bear fruit for centuries afterwards. Bastardizing religion to indoctrinate people tho YOUR image while your commit centuries long mass crimes of rape and larceny! And you SMUG, Knixon, has three nerve to talk about slavery in Africa today or a willingness to sell themselves?

You bloody RACIST, I hope some criminal goes tho your house one day and rapes your loved ones; brands and multilayer them and destroys you family and THEN have the nerve to say "well. Knixon didnt get along with his wife and they still haven't reconciled with her, even today"..... After they have looted everything you have.... You bloody idiot!

Humans have always conquered other humans. It has happened since the beginning of time. What was different was the total and complete Genocidal annihilation of others. The pernicious EVIL INTENT that is now CLEAR. Yet you guys seem to somehow believe this is a history YOU are entitled to. You see the unfortunate condition of others as having nothing to do with you!

Look EVERYWHERE in the world from The Middle East to Africa to Hong Kong to South America EVERY CONFLICT TODAY has its roots in European Expasionist greed to divide an conquer natives and more easily steal their resources. But what has ALL this at got you? You are dying, weak and your societies are crumbling from within!

Trump is in it for himself. Blissfully ignorant (as many of you are) of the long view of history, he has touched on a sensation many of you feel innately.... Even if you don't understand it fully. The EVIL genes are at work! They got passed on remember. That is where Prof Knixon's MISCEGENATION scheme comes in. Making sure no half white babies are born. A last ditch effort to maintain the brand. Who else in history had that idea? Someone with the initials A.H.

The globe has woken to your CRIMES. Luckily for you WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU. You won't believe me but most of the OTHERS are not like YOU. They are not eager to exact any revenge which is rightfully theirs. They just want to live their lives; enjoy their cultures and worship their gods in the manner offs their ancestors.

They certainly don't need or want to be condesended to by the likes of YOU!

Just so you know Knox, if your plan were successful it ONLY will hasten the end of your race. Don't believe me? Compare the average black person with their white counter part.... No contest!

Do yourselves a favor guys READ and find out about the globe's recent history! You may have to do some work But if you start with a healthy dose of skepticism you will get the facts you need. Just go back a few hundred years. Before Bri itannia ruled the waves; before the US; before Austrailia; before Africa, South America, India, parts of Asia were colonized.

The TRUTH will set you free!

TL;DR. But in parts it smacks of the "all of humanity originated in Africa" etc. What those people don't seem to realize is that doesn't really help their argument, since evolution is generally considered to be a process of improvement.

Again he hasn't read anything and despite what he suggests I am very aware what colonialism has done (the looting,plundering, raping,extermination,genocides,diseases,slavery, stealing of natural resources destruction of cultures etc etc) So one doesn't need to lecture me but what I fail to see is when one race murders or subjugates others from a similar race like in the examples one has given what white men have to do with that.What did whitey do to cause the Killing Fields? what did whitey do that causes Shiites to kill Sunni's? or Muslims to kill Curds what white racism has to do with the Turks committing genocide on Armenians.I think if you want to blame the woes of the World on something religion is and always has been one of the leading causes of war and conflict and religion is not a white men's invention.

And if you had read the links I provided you will see that prior to whitey coming to the Americas,Africa and Asia there were a lot of indigenous empires and Kingdoms did you really think that these developed and became so infuential because the people of these empires and kingdoms were being nice,cosy, friendly and supportive of other tribes kingdoms and empires ?Really? do you think that all these continents were paradises prior to whitey setting foot there?Really? You my friend or busy with a dangerous kind of redactive history.Don't let cultures and races take responsibility for their own actions just blame whitey for everything.We in the West acknowledge and accept responsibility for our actions during the colonial era but to blame all what happenned after that on us seems a bit farfetched.Look that some made a mess of everything after indepence is not a thing that whitey could have prevented unless it would mean re colonising a country again and the origins of most of these conflicts go further back than when whitey got involved.If we are going to discuss the (white) Western economic cooperate influence and the influence of the Western military industrial complex that's another matter but we are already are seeing a shift to Asia(due to China,India;Japan and Indonesia ) and the Middle East.History has always been about ups and downs rise and fall in the last 500 years whitey has been on top of the proverbial pyramid and prior to that the Arab and Chinese world were on top of the proverbial pyramid and whithey was the underlying party and the Romans before that.The only reason why the impact of our interference on the global ethno political theatre was so severe over the last 500 years was it coincided with the fact that great leaps forward in science,art, finance, navigation,astronomy, technology, weaponry,industrialisation were being made in the Western European world(sparked by the conquest of Constantinopel).But if this massive development would have happened like somewhere in Africa,South or Middle America it is naive to think that these would have acted differently than us Whites .Mankind is basically a savage beast one meal away from anarchy and who has a tendency to repeat past mistakes again and again and World history has shown that mankind has known very little periods when mankind wasn't fighting killing or exploiting his fellow man and ethnicity doesn't exclude one from this common Human condition.And so far we have shown little development apart from the fact that mankind has become increasingly proficient and efficient in bashing in the proverbial skull of his fellow man.But I can almost guarantee(knowing something about the human condition)that if the Ghanese or Malian or Azteck empires would have had similar progress as the European countries had during the colonial era and Europe would have remained the same as prior to 1453 we would have been colonised and my ancestors might have been put on a one way trip to America or Africa to be exploited and in the US we would be having a Whitelivesmatter discussion rather than a Blacklivesmatter.

I think the difference between you and me liking STD and STP or not stems from the fact that you see things in black and white while I see greys.You like to wallow in past and past misbehaving and wrongdoings and let that color your view of the future.I on the other hand despite being somewhat of a cynic say learn from the past and embrace the future for the chances, challenges and opportunities it brings for all of us regardless of race,gender, sexual, religious or political orientation.Sure it won't always be easy because of silly human things like nationalism,racism, inequality, prejudice and religion but there in lies the challenge don't you think and maybe that is why I like my Star Trek to be bright and hopeful that we can throw off the shroud of savagery that we learn to control our primitive desires and we can overcome all these silly Human restraints that blocks us from reaching an Utopian like state.After all if it wasn't for our dreamers we would never have climbed out of that tree.

I fail to see is when one race murders or subjugates others from a similar race like in the examples one has given what white men have to do with that.What did whitey do to cause the Killing Fields?

Then bloody READ! It's NOT hidden. You want a people's history to start where YOU want it to. Go back and EDUCATE yourself or continue to bury your head in the sand!

TL;DR. But in parts it smacks of the "all of humanity originated in Africa" etc. What those people don't seem to realize is that doesn't really help their argument, since evolution is generally considered to be a process of improvement.

There you go again with some clap trap about evolution, natural selection and ...wait for it ...MISCEGENATION...right? Here is the problem. Your theory is considering ONLY a small sliver of human existence; a few hundred years at best. Mankind has been around for MUCH, MUCH longer. So yes, there will be some periods when some VIRULENTLY strain of INFESTATION will threaten the collective gene pool (like Convid-19). Don't mistake THAT for progress!

I am not burying my head in the sand since I acknowledge and accept the things that happened during our colonial era.You on other hand won't accept the historical fact that Africans,Americans and Asians conquered enslaved and killed their fellow man just as much as the white man the only difference is because of science and technology the impact was much greater.

And evolution is not some clap trap it is a scientific fact.And evolution is not only about how much a species has progressed compared to others but also how well a species has adapted itself to it's environment.
