I love Star Trek for stirring these thoughts.
Same here. If more people watched Trek then maybe the world wouldn’t be so hateful.
Thank you for being you. Live long and prosper. 🖖

Reading this, and remembering the context of the source material, my thoughts deviated to our present day problems. I can’t help but ask myself, “how can humans hate each other and commit the atrocities we do to other ppl?” Especially for totally pointless shit like skin color or what they would like to be called ffs. I had a thought, not sure if it is a revelation yet, that those ppl are presented with the struggle of life and misplace their angst at the prospect of the challenge of improving themselves daily. They don’t hate ppl for the little things, not really, they just don’t know how to use their inner conflict productively.

I think a lot of atrocities come from our need to be accepted by the people around us. Especially with fascists, whose group identity is based around excluding and hurting the outgroup, they’re stuck in a constant cycle of egging eachother on. One fascist says “lets beat up a black guy”, the others nod, and the person who feels most vulnerable to getting kicked out of the group says “Nah, let’s KILL a black guy” repeat ad nauseam.
