Lmao they do understand that the Ferengi were the writers making fun of capitalism, right?
No, see, they spend all day selling pointless things like Yamok sauce and slices of their own dehydrated dead
Now let me see how my :butt: coin is doing on the market :so-true:
Not to mention Quark is not unsympathetic to the plights of the oppressed, even before the later seasons when he undergoes more of a sorta personal growth arc he's still channelling and obviously based on Rick from Cassablanca.
Many wouldn't want to admit or could handle the fact that Roddenberry was a closet communist
Trek could have been way ahead of its time in that regard if it wasn't for executive meddling. Before coming out, George Takei once asked Roddenberry about bringing up gay rights on the show and Roddenberry's answer was that he'd love to, but couldn't get away with that after all the outrage around Uhura.
Seems like the Ferengi aren't so much concerned with the nuclear family as much as they are with keeping women and children as property.
:same-picture: (at least to certain ways of thinking)
How can I not know what fascism is when everyone keeps explaining why fascism is the best thing ever?
Abolish the nuclear family? What about all the families you western orcs have slaughtered over the course of centuries literally because you orcs cannot feel an emotion besides bloodlust? You cackling demons aren't a master race, you're animals!
