Didn’t the Star Trek timeline involve some sort of apocalypse on earth at some point?
Star Trek’s WWIII happened from 2026-2053, I believe. So we’re still on track.

Yeah I was hoping for WW3 but we just got climate collapse instead. No star trek for us.
Vulcans would have to be real. Their presence is what makes humanity realize there’s a better way to live.
In fact Cochrane himself states that he built warp drive just to get rich. His intention was to jumpstart capitalism in a post-war world that had no functioning economy.
If Vulcans landed on our Earth after WWIII, we would just kill them and create the Mirror Universe instead.
That would certainly track with the rest of this timeline.
100%
…democracies? i haven’t watched a lot of star wars but isn’t the whole point that they are fighting a fascist empire
That fascist empire used to be a democracy until it was transformed into an empire by Palpatine
I’m not familiar with Star Wars, but I remember hearing something about the original movies being intended as commentary/allegory for the Vietnam war?
Yeah the Empire represents the USA.
The rebels represent the Vietcong.
Star Wars is literally US imperialism in space.
Literally been (re)watching Clone Wars with my partner, and it’s scary how analogous the whole thing is to the US. Especially the stuff foreboding Order 66 and the rise of the empire towards the end of the series.
Nah homie. We are on that Cyberpunk expressway.
The Senate will send a strongly-worded letter about the Emperor’s genocide of the Jedi.
We are very much on Trek. For reference, check out season 3 episodes 11 and 12 of Deep Space Nine. These episodes take place on Earth in 2024, roughly six months ago. It was always clearly laid out in Trek that their path to utopia was paved with war and hardship.
Well that and the fact that our first contact in Trek is with a peaceful but vastly superior race. We had everything to gain by creating an alliance and could have easily been wiped out by Klingons or Romulans if we didn’t.
We’re headed straight to cyberpunk instead. Looking forward to watching juiced up and modded humans fight each other.
Don’t think we even have actual good body modification, it’ll be all owned by corpoligarchs and corpooligans.
We’re on the Borderlands timeline. in a few years, Dahl is gonna take over Yellowstone
Not democracy, no.
We are heading towards a solar punk future unfortunately we will have to survive through a cyberpunk world to get their
It’s amazing what people will put up with if you promise them a light saber.
Quiet, Rebel scum!
Star Trek is pretty much a futuristic communist society.
Star Wars is a galaxy constantly in a power grab war.
I’m sure it’ll end up fine just like Star wars!
