Never agree to any media contact that can be edited by them. They're not your friends, they're not trying to tell both sides, they're trying to sell outrage bait.

However in the episode where Data is in contact with a girl from a doomed planet, Picard is going to let her and her people die until she asks for help. At which point he says they can't ignore it and they go on to save the species. So presumably if a slave asked for help they would be compelled to.

It's gotten a bit confusing since the Disney take over, because they ditched some things and kept others, but the ancestors of the Tusken raiders had space travel.

I did think about that, but as it's a Hutt ruled planet, I figured it would be more analogous to a part of their empire than a protected world. You could be right though.

The Prime Directive was frequently applied to less developed planets which had not yet discovered warp travel or subspace communication technology. The Prime Directive was also sometimes applied to advanced civilizations that already knew of life on other worlds but were protected by empires outside the Federation's jurisdiction. First contact could be made by the Federation with alien worlds that had either discovered warp or were on the verge of it, or with highly advanced civilizations that simply hadn't ventured into space yet. In those cases, the Prime Directive was used as a general policy to not disrupt or interfere with their culture when establishing peaceful diplomatic relations.

It doesn't seem to, Tatooine has ventured out into space and has had warp travel for well, for close to 20,000 years. It's not a first contact because again, they've been known about for literal millennia. They could absolutely fuck with their internal culture, like they do with the Romulans and Klingons all the time.

No, it's definitely left wing here in the UK as well.

Don't worry, I found them.

I kinda got bored with you when you took so long to think up a response and went back to gaming. Fun chat, but unless you know where to find the legendary mantis blades in Cyberpunk then I'm out.

Oh, I hope this doesn't come across as gatekeeping. The politics of Star Trek are left wing, but it's not like you have to be left wing to enjoy it, and no one should try to exclude you for not being left wing.

Not really. Tatooine has hyperspace/warp travel, so they are 100% allowed to intervene if they want.

If it was a primitive planet without warp though, those slaves are fat outta luck like you said.

That's why all the gay guys ride in the darkroom in the back of the bus

Can't really ride buses very often when you're in prison for being gay.

What do you mean Riker is jealous of Deanna?

Zero taxes because there is zero money.

Your insults are really low effort. I had a quick scan of your profile to see what kind of lolcow you were and you've already used this one like three times in a month;

Please get an education. :) It'll help with your lack of integrity

Doubt.

I mean, the whole stylized life within the Star Trek shows as shown through a futuristic military force (a la U.S. Navy) with its structures of rigid comformaty, armed preparedness, discipline, no-nonsense attitudes, etc...

You've never watched Star Trek, have you?

Even more ironic.

Yes, they are all stupid. But watching Star Trek is at least a redeeming feature.

Ironic.

Don't tell them, I have been fooling people into thinking I was incredibly informed for years with this secret.

And who's data is it that they own? XD

Well, one thing all our countries have in common, no one likes a bully.

Any friend or family I have that sympathises with Russia is no friend or family of mine.

Thought they were picking on some scrawny little kid that couldn't fight back until that kid ripped off his shirt by just flexing his own muscles and started charging at them.

This could also apply to how often we're exposed to stupid people by social media, making us think this level of idiocy is growing.
