Is that something from the new shows, or that meme of Kor hugging Jadzia and swapping names?
Kor isn’t exactly big on acceptance overall, just his friends. He blocked Martok from joining the Klingon officer academy because he didn’t have a prestigious enough lineage. Basically he was too working class.
I would say focusing on personal desires while completely ignoring or acting against the well being of general society is exactly why our society is crumbling. And why so often you’ll see conservatives turning heel when someone they care about turns out to be trans, or gay, or are affected by medieval immigration practices, and so on.
Yeah but so many Conservatives won’t even accept trans people even if they’re friends or family, thats my point. We are at such a low level that hatred seemingly overpowers any sense of love of community for many, even for the people closest to them.
It’s still about personal desire over public good, though. That’s my point. Doing something only because it hurts something you care about, rather than because it damages a part of society that doesn’t directly impact you, is killing us. Both metaphorically and physically. Having empathy for people directly in your life is good… but having empathy for those who are little more than a concept in every day life is how society will better itself.
Star Trek, I want fully automated luxury space communism where every major society (including the Klingons) have fully accepted trans rights :3

Thats still significantly better than what we have today (the first part)
