>Klingons are warmongering vikings
>Romulans are cold, calculating conquerors
>Cardassians are cold, calculatin conquerors
>Ferengi are licentious space jews
>Bajoren are radical liberal terrorists
>Vulcan are monastic hippies
How come humans are the only species with the trait of individuality? That their personalities are not determined by their race?
They're not though, in Star Trek they're the liberal communist drones straight out of Kojeve's fevered dreams.
>the lack of diversity creates powerful and economically strong empires while the very diverse federation is struggling to keep a handful of worlds together.
what rodenberry meant by this?
because you are a human and you see human nature as default.
to a klingon humans are pussy faggots
to a vulcan humans are emoitional retards
etc etc
The point of the show it's that existed a morality that went beyond the differences.
ferengi and bajoran comprise two sides of one Jewish shekel
ferengi: the greedy manipulative stereotype
bajoran: the ruthless zionist
It's not humans. It's the Federation. Fed is where characters come to explore their growth IE individuality.
Through out the franchise you see characters from different species come to the place to depart from their home cultures
There were many different types of Klingon personalities. Romulans had a little scope too. Cardassians were not completely one-dimensional either. Ferengi were actually Yankee traders. Bajorans were extremely varied. Vulcans were shit though.
Mass effect species are better. Movie when
Because Vulcans are the only species that is not based on an idea rather than on a historical people
What?
Because the writers of this shit show were hacks without imagination or brains.
>Through out the franchise you see characters from different species come to the place to depart from their home cultures
Bingo, one of the messages of Star Trek has always been about a better future of realising we are all the same and working together. It's pretty much a liberal utopian future
I hope there's an ep in STD where teh entire population of Chicago in 2017 is transported to the future and the federation has to deal with it
Vulcans are justified, they had all to accept Surak teaching and follow them to avoid destroying themselves and all the other races show different facets
No thats wrong. Gene Roddenberry
>monastic hippies
Monastic hippies who also happen to be explorers, scientists, scholars and statesman and who occasionally display other traits, including an enormous capacity for being manipulative dickish hypocrites.
In other words, normal people. They just keep everything under wraps.
>black humans aren't tribalistic oogabooga niggers
>their alien counterpart the Klingons are
really made me think
>licentious
Like, they were lewd?

liberals?
Except the Federation was expanding, adapting and improving while the uniform Klingon Empire stayed exactly where it'd been for centuries. There's a reason they had to introduce the Cardassians (aka Romulans with more territory) and the Borg in TNG. Because by that point none of the TOS enemies posed a real threat to the Federation anymore.
This is definitely not the point of the show, if anything it was to show how poorly thought out the main directive was and how quickly it had deteriorated, just a couple of light years away. Morality is definitely proven a far more pragmatic thing in the galaxy than humans are comfortable with.
in a way this morality you're touting as the saving grace of humans is the exact way we remain so 'human' to non humans, just like klingons appear so 'klingon' to us
Bajorans were meant to be Jews, lots of orthodox holidays, ancient rituals and holocaust experienced
Cardassians were Germans, they were dedicated to the fatherland with a rich literary history and arts culture, then commited atrocities in an attempt to expand
Klingons are Empire of Japan, with samurai-like cultural influences mixed with Apache notions for some reason
Ferengi are a caricature of matrialistic pre-United Earth murricans...in the episode that introduced them they were literally called "Yankee Traders" it's Arabic for foreigner, likely what Westerners were called when they first showed up looking for oil to pump out.
Why are you trying to apply alt-right interpretations to a TV show created by a confirmed left-leaning liberal, and later produced by Jews?
Oh that's right, because you're a fucking retard. Just watch the show and try not to think, it'll probably hurt you.
>How come humans are the only species with the trait of individuality?
Don't be ridiculous, humans are the ones known for being idiots.
Nog was an individual. Worf was an individual. Sybok was an individual, but they were all still products of their culture, even when they rebelled against the norm. Chakotay was an indidual. The humans who fought for the Maquis were individuals.
>including an enormous capacity for being manipulative dickish hypocrites.
They were only manipulative when Romulan spies lead their culture astray from the inside.
>Restraint? You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass.
>STD
they really didn't think that through
That must be why they changed STD to STI (sexually transmitted infections)
Only British SJWs use the term "STI", it's STD.
Trek would prefer you call discovery DIS, like ENT for Enterprise :) that said, I'm looking forward to Star Trek: Infinity
