the maquis are booj. legit settled a border zone for like 20-30 years and are now willing to kill people over it when they could just move to one of the hundreds of other planets in the federation or just go back to earth, which is again, a paradise
The presence of an effectively infinite amount of good land and the ability to create a high standard of living anywhere changes a lot about territorial disputes.
yep. the fact that theyre willing to kill and die and potentially start a quadrant spanning total war over it which will drag in trillions of people, they are selfish people and i hope they die (and they did! _)
honestly id like an exploration of what the seedy element to star trek earth society might look like. we never really get a huge dive into civilian life in star trek
Picard sorta tried that and it was awful. They just kinda decided capitalism never actually went away and also drug addiction is still common and everyone is an asshole.
The Maquis are a section 31 funded terrorist group eager to destroy the Cardassian socialist experiment and let human imperialist tendencies reach their apex.
I choose to assume we don't see them in the show after that period in history because it doesn't make for interesting television to show them chilling with friendly critters, eating snacks, and practicing medicine.
For a long time I watched it until I fell asleep because it is that perfect mix of calm and exciting; keeps you engaged for an hour or so and then isn't-too-disruptive while you drift off into nice dreams.
The Maquis did nothing wrong.

Everyone should just live on Earth. That would make a great show.

It can be done. I just don't trust anyone to do it well right now.

The Cardassians are literally the space Roman empire, but go off, ig.
You’re thinking of the Romulans.
Cardassia is the only truly socialist “empire” in the alpha quadrant.
I'm literally watching an episode of DS-9 right now. Cardassia is a military dictatorship in the style of the late Roman empire.
Absolutely false. Read theory.
Cardassia is coded more as Space Nazis, but @cilantrofellow does have a good bit.
Antifa are the real fascists 🙄
Ask the Bajorans how socialist Cardassia is
Hah, why would I get any information from religious extremists bankrolled by federation imperialists?
Read theory and stop accepting propaganda. #BajorisCardassia
certain backwards cultures must be taught to reject superstition by ahem gentle force
ASide from cilantrofellow's bit, the Romulans are 100% the coded-as-Romans in star trek.
Romulus and Remus (the name of the Romulan and Reman homeworlds) were the twin brothers who led the foundation of Rome in mythology.
No u
The Maquis are settlers
So is everyone else who isn't on Earth.
"Settler" really takes on a different meaning when you're settling on a planet with no sentient life (or no life at all).
Falkland war struggle session round two...
lol exactly what I thought of
Agreed, that's why I stan the Denobulans. just wanna chill with the friendly critters, eat snacks, and practice medicine.
We don't really know what they're up to by the 24th century
I choose to assume we don't see them in the show after that period in history because it doesn't make for interesting television to show them chilling with friendly critters, eating snacks, and practicing medicine.
Oh like not being interesting has ever been an obstacle.
Lol very true
Honestly that's a big part of what I love about Trek. They aren't afraid to be boring.
For a long time I watched it until I fell asleep because it is that perfect mix of calm and exciting; keeps you engaged for an hour or so and then isn't-too-disruptive while you drift off into nice dreams.
The Enterprise D engine hum is great to fall asleep to
Also having like, a whole minute of positive poly representation on TV was wild.
