/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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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 think the people crying heritage are also talking about the entire period of slave driven agriculture and industry, which the confederacy was formed to defend and came to symbolize.
Not trying to be a spoiler or anything but I hate to see badly-formulated attacks on these people which they will easily bat aside.
True, but making them say "the heritage I'm talking about is racism" is the kind of the unmasking this gotcha was going for anyway.
Their "it was about states rights" bs also kinda deflates pretty quickly when it was about the state's rights...for slavery. As in, it's specifically, clearly outright stated in some of their Articles of Succession.

Yes it’s worse. All I’m sayings not to try to catch them on a technicality. “The confederacy only lasted 5 years!”
The Trail of Tears was shorter than that but no one would ever trivialize it as a part of someone’s heritage. The Civil War was the deadliest one in history for Americans. A lot of impact can happen in a short time.
You can throw as many facts as you want, but “these people” don’t care about truth or justice. They just want their white supremacy back at any cost.
