Is there any better metaphor for jews than Changelings?
>take over governments by impersonating their members (cardassia, earth) >cause conflicts among people (like earth/federation attacking themselves) >use mercinary force of extremely violent fighters (Jem'Hadar) by keeping them addicted >do all of this out of fear of extermination
additional thing >control "the dominion" a metaphor for america
Michael Flores
DS9 had many, many portrayals of the Eternal Merchant.
>Ferengi, the gold obsessed mercantile jew whose entire culture revolves around the accumulation of jewgolds >Cardassians, the Deep State zionist jew >the Founders, the talmudic "WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES, THE GOYIM SOLIDS EXIST TO SERVE US" megalomaniac jew >the Federation, the subversive marxist jew who slowly disintegrates distinctive cultures in order to absorb them into the Federation's Galactic Order
Nolan Jackson
The Federation is the cuckservatives themselves, not their (((handlers))).
Robert Torres
You're forgetting the most obvious of all: the Bajorans. The dark eyed, dark haired people who constantly look to their powerful ally The Federation to keep them safe in a sector of space where they are surrounded by hostile aliens. In exchange for this protection the Bajorans provide access to the wormhole, a staging area into the mysterious and wealthy Delta Quadrant.
Noah Scott
ferengi
Jaxson Campbell
wow this thread is so fucking nerd
Alexander Moore
I agree with this except maybe cardassians, because they're pretty fascist, but hard to say because israel's the same way.
Adam Kelly
Do these people actually watch Babylon 5 or are they all larping?
David Ramirez
>Delta Quadrant >wealthy
If the-following-series showed us anything it's that Delta was a shithole full of miscreants and the Borg, who did nothing wrong.
>implying the Delta Quadrant was not full of mineral wealth >implying the Federation didn't routinely send research vessels to pillage for their god Science
Henry Scott
That's the obvious answer, but greedy bastards like ferengi are easy to deal with compared to changelings infiltrating governments.
Nolan Martinez
You picked the worst possible changeling to represent changelings.
Aiden Nguyen
56%, Jew are bajorens
Hudson Ward
Gamma Quadrant.
Josiah Smith
...
Mason Long
I would say Jews are much more comparable to the HIV virus/ AIDs in the sense Jews once let in, destroy and undermine a countries defenses, turns everything against their own, and it is not them that kill the country but all the rest of the outsiders that come in do.
Dylan Ross
They're both Jews, but the Ferengi are the 90 IQ Israeli ones and the Changelings are the "I'm white and let me tell you how horrible I am" on Twitter ones.
Gabriel Diaz
Y-you too, sempai.
Jacob Hill
>Delta Quadrant Y'all are retarded. Voyager was in the Delta, DS('s wormhole led to the Gamma Quadrant.
>constantly look to their powerful ally The Federation to keep them safe That's also horse shit. There were whole factions of Bajorans determined to be independent. They fought a terrorist guerrilla war for 40 years.
Brody Scott
Oh and AIDs shift shapes as well right? Yeah Jews do that too.
Luke Lewis
Next gen reached it because of Q
Camden Young
Cardassians were heavily implied to be Germans. They put the Bajorans in the fucking camps dude.
Leo Morgan
Arigato, user. To atone I will shave my lorebeard and rewatch DS9. It's been a few years.
Robert Hernandez
yeah and the sky is blue, but what the fuck does any of that have to do with anything?
Cameron Miller
Changlings were in next gen and ds9. Different in each. Gods in next gen, something else in ds9
Michael Phillips
The Ferengi didn't need Q; they used the Barzan wormhole.
Lincoln Hill
Is that the jew Neischtat?
Dominic Johnson
What?
James Turner
Point is weren't the first, voyager moot in this discussion
Colton Allen
Episode where humans and I think two others maybe three species using parts of there DNA lead them to a planet which showed them they engineered everyone else, hence god in next gen
Ryder Moore
Makes perfect sense, but what does that make of Odo?
Vorta is the Hollywood actors Jem Hadar are the US army
but I thought Cardassians were the space nazis
Ryan Rivera
This. OP is fucking stupid.
Adrian Roberts
They weren't gods, they were just the first race to explore the galaxy. They engineered the humanoid races from their own DNA
Now the Continuium on the other hand...
Cameron Stewart
Nah m8, that was just an extinct race Easter egg.
Angel Evans
"What do you want?"
Isaac Walker
But the ancient humanoid race wasn't changling, it was just played by the same actor and looked similar. There are a ton of instances in Trek where they use the same actors and even similar looking species to play different roles. You're forming your own head cannon on this one user.
Eli Kelly
This. OP is retarded.
John Powell
>I read that in his voice.
Zachary King
this too desu
Michael Robinson
They created what do you call that?
Not the actor, the way they look. But hey maybe you are right
Jackson Johnson
The further I got into ds9 I began to be annoyed with, then dislike, then hate bajorans
Brayden Phillips
It's just if there was a wormhole between the Alpha and Delta Quadrants, Voyager doesn;t need to happen.
Jaxon Evans
I hated the first season. Show kicked in once sisko shaved his head a grew a goate
Adrian Ortiz
I think the Bajoran race was lazy writing. I was actually rather excited when the Voyager stuff and Dominion war started appearing.
Liam Cooper
Which is why when they revisited the idea of the Barzan wormhole in VOY, they retconned it so that it didn't necessarily lead back to the Alpha Quadrant and therefore wasn't guaranteed to lead back home.
Justin Powell
There's several aliens that looks very similar in Trek but are totally different.
As for creating, they seeded the galaxy, that's not really godhood. Plus they were humanoid, the changelings were utterly different. They were goo that lived in a pool. Though they did once upon a time evolve from solids.
[spoiler]It's neat headcannon though, user. I can dig it. I've got some of my own.[/spoiler]
Owen Powell
The more I saw the more I realized just how much they needed a firm rule. Gul Dukat was always right.
Owen Bell
Ferengi would rather destroy it that let them use it for free.
David Ortiz
Its sloppy, could've easily made them orange. So much for continuaty
Kayden Rogers
I haven't watched ds9 in probably 3 years now but I'll probably agree with you. DS9 has the most amount of great episodes and compared to all other series. Whispers is one of my favourites and that one where Sisko seeks the help of Garrat to make the fake hologram thing but then he blows up the embassador's ship. Also "Far Beyond the Stars", fuck that is a good one! youtube.com/watch?v=2zFOdQYmTrk
Dylan Fisher
I always thought the federation was a form of "soft fascism". There's free markets but the state runs everything important, people are--mostly--treated equally but they understand they are not actually equal (a human would understand they'd be disadvantaged in a game of chess vs a vulcan for example), there's major pressure to join the "military" and devote your life to serving the hierarchical state, and replicators giving everyone most of what they want aside there's a lot of people with a lot more than others so there's no communist-like redistribution of wealth.
Connor Foster
Its a fakeee! Probably my favorite episode. Garak is my favorite character next to Julian.
Cameron Brown
>Ferengi These are the Eternal Merchants who worship profit above all else, even at the expense of their own (i.e. Bernie Madoff who indiscriminately screwed over Israeli charities and other Jewish clients) >>Cardassians Cardassians are more like Soviet Russians or Communist Chinks. A shitty soulless people late to the imperialist game put still playing it to prove they aren't so shitty. >>Founders ZOG >>The Federation The good goy liberal multicultural collective of all the different races compulsively singing and dancing in harmony to demonstrate the virtues of diversity. Which falls apart when you pull back the curtains to the grand illusion and see all the festering shit behind.
Camden Hill
There are a lot of instances of that kind of thing happening in Trek.
Kayden King
Absolutely, still sloppy and no excuse for it. Especially with militant fans
Charles Ortiz
Yep. It even shows that they can be turned, such in the case of Odo.
Angel Richardson
"Any time you see something like that, a wizard did it."
Gavin Cox
Wait, I thought that alpha quadrant side was fixed, it was just the other side was unpredictable and they could only 'attract' it once and rather than take it themselves they had to make sure two ferengi didn't live as gods among an unevolved species.
Jack Cook
Oh and I almost forgot, despite the show being so "diverse" and having anti-racist episodes, it still had a lot of very positive racial and nationalistic messages and undertones. Even the humans had a lot of earth pride. Scale that stuff down just a bit to a more realistic and practical size, say races as we know them today, and it's good stuff.
Tyler Torres
/thread I didn't even see star wars
Owen Hughes
A-koo-chee-moya. We are far from the sacred places of our cousin Eddie...
Jayden Roberts
You're right, it's been a while.
Jordan Lewis
It's pretty hard to make any story like this that isn't nationalistic. We are programmed to respond to outsiders with suspicion. It would be totally unbelievable if people accepted foreigners willy nilly.
Joshua Foster
Where do the Borg fit into all of this?
Liam Foster
Face here reminds me of Newt
Jaxon Gray
Wtf you doing on reddit, seppuku yourself or get the fuck back to base you drunken rapist
Ayden Young
Ah, for glavin out loud.
Austin Reed
I've got one of those growing on my dick and it does not look like a Hebrew star. FAKE NEWS!
Hudson Cooper
They don't in DS9, those are in TNG and VOY and I don't think it's worth trying to reconcile the universes, since there's enough discontinuity within the serieses
John Hernandez
it does
Oliver Ramirez
Bump
Evan Harris
Very true.
Nathan Edwards
Lmao love the star trek analogy
Grayson Lopez
So Sephardi vs Ashkenazi?
Jose Harris
>and the Changelings are the "I'm white and let me tell you how horrible I am" on Twitter ones. So the Twitterlings
