Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="SPOILERS"]It's a neoliberal garbage narrative about how it's good to manipulate aggressive insurgent cultures to create a top-down state by leveraging religious extremist and fundamentalist elements armed with weapons of mass destruction. The climax of the season arc is right out of a #Resistance porn video. By the end, the klingon houses were launching suicide attacks at federation infrastructure which the white admiralty was unable to stop despite the federation's canonical ability to hold the klingons off with military power. Then black magic negro lady fixed everything by standing up for principles over pragmatism and declaring her identity was based on her values instead of her actions so she could get a pardon from the president of the federation for ending the war she started in one of the end scenes. The main character has a name that runs contrary to gender norms, crosses institutional race boundaries because she's raised by vulcans on top of being a person of color, is stripped of rank, dishonored and jailed, and goes on a personal journey that culminates in being accepted back into polite society for fulfilling her duty despite being convicted of an unprecedented crime. She's Manning in space, from the future, where Manning could be black. So anyway now all those gritty old cold war allegory TOS warships and space guns for fighting the space russians I mean space puerto ricans I mean klingons are worthless and earth is under threat from a disunited bunch of warring interstellar states that somehow apply the pressure of asymmetric insurgent warfare to the homeland of the Federation, despite that not being a thing in canon, so they pick a crazy religious fundamentalist group that the rest of the klingons laugh off and give them a huge bomb coded to their leader's biosigns. Somehow, the federation would totally not do anything that involved any of this later if they needed to win another war with the Klingons because every starship secretly runs on idealism and if they stop practicing their weird values and redshirts stop dying in these dumb wars, the ships will literally stop flying. All those people that died during later conflicts with a united klingon empire totally didn't die in vain, the federation totally preserves life successfully and isn't just wank material and branding over a thin veneer of incompetence. Oh were you expecting fascism? Not in Discovery, sorry! Then there's the huge bomb they put in mecca's big cavernous basement I mean inserted through a shrine into a volcanic cave system on the klingon homeworld and gave the detonator to a fundamentalist eminence grise nobody that is told that it's time for her to come out of the shadows. Her freakish white albino klingon lover is rendered down into a captive brain and inserted into the first arab actor in a star trek work in a mind-rape manchurian procedure because him being white-passing isn't enough, he has to be white on the inside, just like the worthy adversary has to be the white klingon that leads all the darkie klingons. Klingons with tans are just stupid assholes that fight each other, they can't be expected to hatch a masterplan on any level themselves. Then after the fundamentalist unites space Iran and turns it into space Saudi Arabia they all pat themselves on the back and the war ends later that day and it's really cool how that all worked out, just like CIA-supported regimes have always worked out. Everybody gets awarded an ugly starfleet medal that looks like a shrunken Flava Flav clock and then they fly off to hang out with the Enterprise. Who are these people who write a fake Chelsea Manning story about fake anti-ISIS wars being stopped by a fake Wahhabist getting a fake nuke to take over fake trashcanistan?[/quote]
