Not much of a revelation, just an observation, but how much of sci-fi pushes the ideal that Humanity's path forward is unification?
Star Trek is a major one, and many would state it was a progressive show, and it earnestly was.
It also stated that in its ideal future, there's a Federation of like-minded extraterrestrials, and as a member species, Humanity lives in a united, post-scarcity society under a single government.
To that end, how many alien species in these stories are so inhuman, in that they have no differences, a world-wide government, a single language?
It's laughable how direct the propaganda was, and continues to be.
Star Trek is the ultimate fictional commie universe, there is UBI, people pursue whatever they want, they dont have to work for a living, there is a replicator or something that can produce any goods.
Ever see Star Trek 3? It is literally about saving the whales.
The people I know who don't need to work either spend their days high or spend their days on twitter. In the Trek universe what people would really do is spend their days in the holodeck.
Star Trek 3 was the Search for Spock.
4 was about the whales and the space probe.
The one that time traveled to San Francisco to get a whale sound to save the future. Either way, it was a complete shit movie.
" there is UBI, people pursue whatever they want, they dont have to work for a living, there is a replicator or something that can produce any goods"
Sounds like paradise tbh....
That's the point of fiction....
