      I really don't understand the argument that Star Trek Picard is a dystopia. Like, lots of really horrible stuff happen in TOS and TNG, and in the movies, it just didn't have contemporary production values

      Yeah the worst new thing the Federation did was not try that hard to help the Romulans, who explicitly have been their worst and most consistent enemy since the Federation was founded That's... not even notable from a present day perspective

      I mean if you go by the accounting of the Kelvin timeline movies they DID help, they let Spock go use the experimental technology to try to save them, it's just that when he failed they didn't try very hard to help the survivors All of that is normal for the present day

      I think it's partly that people instinctively want to think of the Federation as like the US in its present day form, the global hegemon that helps people or lets them suffer at a whim We've lost the sense of what it was like in the Cold War to have an actual opponent

          Anyway people have forgotten a lot of shit from the OG Star Trek, like how even in TNG Tasha Yar came from this post-apocalyptic hell world where she spent her childhood dodging rape gangs

          But yeah the stuff about AI being oppressed isn't different from old school Star Trek AT ALL Maddox was just going to go right ahead and take Data apart and Starfleet Command was going to let him, Picard had to go through heroic measures to put a stop to it

          trek has long tried to have its cake and eat it too in that respect. watson-wise, the federation is explicitly not a hegemon, has many competitors, etc. but doyle-wise, it's *very* hard not to see that the federation is coded as an american hegemon projected into the future.

          most of the time this actually works pretty well. trek is this titanic, sprawling world constructed over a span of decades. and its inherent contradictions are a great playground for individual episodes to explore different ideas, different tensions.
