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 …

I wrote about all this when I rewatched TNG back in 2011. The show really struggled with the concept of AI and the personhood of creatures like Data, and how that clashed with the Federations supposed utopianism in a way the show couldn't address. http://wrongquestions.blogspot.com/2011/04/lets-see-whats-out-there-part-iii.html …

The real lie that I think the OP is clinging to is the idea of *stable* utopia, of stasis The Federation may have found that economic and social conflict among "normal" humans and species close enough to humans is a solved problem But new problems keep on coming
