In every single fucking one of these games or movies, there's always the reasonable voice of good, and it's almost always some kind of reporter figure. There's a reporter in Fallout 4, there's a reporter in V for Vendetta, there's always a goddamn reporter. And this reporter is always the same archetype - scrappy, possibly disillusioned, who wants to speak TRUTH TO POWER! and we need to SHOW THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH!
And then there was the reporter in Babylon 5 who "risked everything to get onto B5 and get the real story from their own mouths" and "subtly get the truth to the people in ways that won't get them shut down."
... and proceeded to go full pro-authoritarian propaganda.
Nothing will ever be done about it until THE FUCKING TAXPAYERS cut the government funding at gunpoint. As an overall spending ultimatum, not just an abortion motion.
It all ends once the people decide they're not paying rogue governments anymore. Abortionists will actually start to take care of their bodies properly, once they start getting billed the REAL cost of abortion.
It won't have Talon Karrde, the Noghri, the Solo Twins' birth, Mara Jade, Jorus C'Boath, ysalimiri, etc etc.
Hell, I'm trying to look into other things, Gilad Pellaeon (Thrawn's top man other than his Noghri bodyguard) no longer exists either, does he.
You can say that now. But nobody (to a significant degree) probably thought like that until 2016.
