Unintentionally based: The immoral merchant that only cares about S̶h̶e̶k̶e̶l̶s̶ Latinum exploiting degeneracy to pad his wallet
No I think that’s intended... this can easily be read in the “mUh crApiTaliSm” sense (automated gay luxury space communism and all)
Have you ever met, or even been made aware of, an anti-capitalist who walks the walk? No luxuries except those made by hand, no corporate goods, certainly nothing produced in Hollywood, buying strictly local, etc?
Personally I have not. In fact, it seems that the more anti-capitalist someone is, the greater percentage of their money goes directly to Global Domination Incorporated for useless Chinese tat and/or status symbols. Very strange.
Why would they ever walk the walk? Their entire philosophy is a lie on every regard, and it's adherents are comfortable hypocrites.

"Principled Leftists" are simply Useful Idiots that the Left will march into machine guns.
Leftists are only concerned with power, their establishment of principles (as far as they are concerned) can only be done once they've achieved total victory. And all actions are justified in getting to utopia.
This is why no one has murdered more Communists than Communists, and why Leftists invented a term for actually doing the shit they believe in on occasion: "praxis"
I hope you mean the hand of the Glorious People's Government, because private ownership is theft!
That’s the cool thing about Utopian Fantasy! Every time it was ever tried before, it was actually just fascism!

"Rahm, I don't care if they have disgusting traditions about doing things with their butts. They already drink root-beer and let their women wear clothes. It's as disgusting as it can get."
Sisko: I'm not Picard

Only because her sexuality has been overshadowed by the most forced interpretation of being "trans." Seriously, libs now read the overwhelmingly obvious reincarnation analogue that are the Trill as some tranny shit.
You forgetting about Lwaxana Troi? Biggest skank in Star Trek bar none.
Literally picking the money obsessed guy to pander to his customers.
It won't yield any profit Quark. There's no latinum in this.
Just think of Rule of Acquisition #48 for these types.
I see whoever made this is trying to push the stupid Bashir/Garak ship.
In the 23rd century, we take pride in our human development. What did you guys take pride in in the 21st?
Sodomy while wearing drags.
Do you still have women? As far as we can tell, we had women right up until around 2020, and then we seem to have forgotten what they are.
Based Sisko don’t let no homos on his station.
Plot twist: no humans exist in that timeline, because they all set their sea men loose in the sewer... None came home.
Flips over cup
"Come to Quarks! Quark's is Gay! Come to Quarks! Quark's is Gay!"
I love this. Not for the reason the author intends, but I love it all the same.
