This is a really good post. I find it really tiring when Trek fans act as if its weird that people today wouldn't relate to a utopian future where the government and military are objectively benevolent https://abigailnussbaum.tumblr.com/post/190456082585/opinions-about-tiaras-ncfan-1-welp-the-rise/amp#click=https://t.co/Gnopscx4TX …

The Federation has ALWAYS made an "exception" for artificial life forms in their charter The trial in The Measure of a Man was because it was the legal status quo that Maddox could kidnap and vivisect Data without his consent because he's not a person but a piece of equipment

And the outcome of the trial did NOT establish Data's legal personhood, it just said they couldn't do specifically that It didn't settle anything, it just deferred the question
