For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

i've written about this elsewhere but my working idea is that star trek abandoned any true claim to being a socialist setting after gene roddenberry died and that even then he was working from second hand material like the counterculture of the day filtered through his american lens. the borg collective vs individualism and the focus on ~~americans~~ humans in space when they are surrounded by alleged equals are prime examples of this. it carries the seeds inherent to liberalism that grow into fascism, just enough for these chuds to inhabit the fandom comfortably and eventually move to appropriate it.
