we’re closer to Star Trek every day

Did you forget all the horrible shit that happens in the star trek timeline between 2000 and the founding of the federation in 2161?

Going off the TOS timeline, WWIII starts next year...

The Bell Riots also start in 2024. Oh boy, it's going to be a wild few years.

Well, I was thinking about Trump's plan to make homelessness illegal and offer "offenders" the option of moving to a rehabilitation "tent city". It seems like an eerily similar plan.

I came here to say that. They start in September, so we've got a little less than a year. Though, I do wonder how a true first contact would affect us.

I do wonder how a true first contact would affect us.

A good chunk of the population would not believe it was true (the gov conspiracy crew), while another section would not believe it was just happening now ( the Roswell crowd)

Another section would believe it was the bible end of days and the aliens are Satan and his demons.

I don't like what you have to say... But I don't disagree with it either.

Probably something like the Mirror Universe first contact.

This is what I said to my little brother after watching the DS9 2-parter about the Bell Riots

It was pretty spot on. All they gotta do is put a wall around skid row

Yeah Gene Roddenberry could see the direction capitalism was taking humanity, his optimism was that enough of us would be able to survive the collapse and we would rebuild better in its aftermath. That part remains to be seen, but Star Trek has always been collapse aware.

How is nobody doing 2+2 and figuring out we’re the “mirror universe”? At best.

What's weird is that I'm pretty sure I'm not from the mirror universe, but sometime right around the time they had that supermassive hadron collider accident, the world started getting bizarro. I think either our universes fused, or I got caught in a temporal anomaly and ended up here.
