  Honestly this is one of the things I appreciate about Trek. Things don’t just automatically get better and better throughout human history. But in both Trek and real life, people want things to get better and will fight to make them better if given a chance. Past Tense might be my favorite episode of TV in general because while things might still get worse before they get better, the Bell Riots are one of the things that spurs people into action.

  I think there’s a lot to be hopeful for in that respect. We’re seeing a resurgence of unions and labor action after they collapsed in the 90s, the development of an incredibly large anti war movement, and people are realizing things only change if we force them to.

  Anyways, there will always be bad things happening in a capitalist society, but there will always be people fighting to make things better, and right now a lot of people are realizing they want to be a part of that group.

  So yeah, shit sucks but there will always be people who want to fix things.

  This is not making me optimistic about the election.

    Join the club. I haven’t felt optimism in over a decade.

  It’s the boiling frog.

    This has been proven untrue. A frog will jump out of a pan of boiling water. Which has also proved that we are dumber than frogs.

      The original experiment was with braindead frogs so yeah, you’re right.

  I’m struggling to remember two episodes I appreciate more. One of the moments when Julian Bashir earned “my favorite doctor.”

  Star treks great but they really should avoid predicting the “doom” of our society

    I’m not sure if you watched Star Trek… Do you think life on the Enterprise or whatever is terrible? Isn’t human life portrayed as utopian as possible?

      True but this episode in particular is fairly controversial and I can’t imagine it aging well

    Things had to get bad in ST before it became a socialist utopia though.

      I like star trek but I could do without the “socialist utopia”. Star trek shouldn’t be a instruction manual

    SciFi should only show happy futures?

    • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t think SciFi should take a firm stance in the future. This episode is kind if silly at best.
