Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock
Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.
That’s the frustrating part. I keep seeing videos taking about how we can resist, but they never really have a solution. It always comes back to no violence, but general strike maybe?
Ok, so I’ve been general striking. I refuse to be violent. So what now? It’s still shit.
I call my useless reps, I write emails, I help where I can (admittedly little, but it’s all I’ve got). It’s still shit.
I spent the last 20+ years trying to help politically dense individuals understand the how and why. It didn’t move the needle.
I’m so tired.
I think you lost the plot somewhere around "I refuse to be violent"
Do you want a world where only innocent people are hurt or a world where mean/evil people are hurt as well in response?
If you only want innocent people to be hurt, keep being non violent. It only helps the oppressor. When you resist, when you thrash and smash and burn and stab, you force them onto their backfoot.
Seriously, pacifism is an evil idealogy that a lot seem to subscribe to as if it is some noble ideal. When in reality it is a selfish one that requires you to stand by as the meek and innocent are trampled, as your friends, family and community are trampled. It is isolationism for the individual.
The question that always finishes the argument is "why do you believe your moral character is more important than other people's lives?"
