/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I might be mistaken but I think that the comparison is wrong. Starfleet and the federation are not the same.
We want the federation and we are getting the terrain empire.
We want starfleet and we are getting space force
Why not build the federation? If billionaires can get their city states, it should be possible to start something with those who want it and grow from there.
Earth is still not ready. If one other alien civilization started it and sowed up at our door, we word not qualify for membership. We are very far away from single world government and no wars / discrimination. It's not impossible but not something that can just be built.
Why focus on the single world government and no wars? The crucial part is the nondiscriminatory environment and the other startrek values.
Yeah. You are probably right. I just thougt that you cant have both of those without the nondiscriminatory environment
