Are you fucking kidding me? Star Trek is literally the communist utopia. The one world government, equality of outcome, no currency, everyone "provided for" no matter how much or how little they work by government. The ferengi, being the only capitalist society, are swindlers and con artists that are looked down upon by everyone else. Picard saying how they've evolved past the primitive notions of personal possessions and wealth. There is communist and socialist bullshit all throughout Star Trek.
When it comes to religion, Roddenberry was an atheist and that came through into Star Trek all the time. Every "god" in Star Trek just turned out to be some alien, with high technology, that wanted to be a dick. Whenever a religion is encountered in a Star Trek show, it's always trouble for the crew and derided as primitive superstition.
As far as the episode where Sisko gets preach about black slavery in America, it definitely happened. I'll leave it up to you to find it because you're far more likely to rewatch the show than I am. You'll come across it and see what I mean though.
PS: Shove that last paragraph straight up your ass. The aggressiveness of your response is why I'm not dedicating any more time to this conversation than this post. You couldn't keep it civil, so I'm not going to fucking indulge you any further, dickhead.
Ding, there you go, you've taken the issues with Star Trek as a whole and applied it to DS9, while obviously ignorant of the show as itself. Knowing nothing of how the writers did everything they could to buck Roddenberry's communist leanings. Knowing nothing of what they did after he died and their hands weren't tied at ALL anymore.
"As far as the episode where Sisko gets preach about black slavery in America, it definitely happened. I'll leave it up to you to find it because you're far more likely to rewatch the show than I am. You'll come across it and see what I mean though." Meaning that you can't, and won't, put your money where your mouth is and will call it a victory because I'm either now obligated to rewatch hundreds of hours of TV and you can go "ha, I wasted your time," or because I won't do that and you go "See, you're afraid to find it." Fuck off, child.
Straw Fucking Man, and now Motte and Bailey. PLEASE waste no more time on this, I'm done here too.
Oh, that's cute. You're going to whine about not wanting to watch hundreds of hours of tv to find something specific, but you expect me to do it just to prove it to you. I'm not going to do that. You actually like the show, you'll probably rewatch it some day... and you'll come across the episode and remember this.
It was not even in an episode about slavery, it was some one-shot episode in which Sisko was having a conversation with an alien and then he goes off on a rant, while staring directly into the camera, about black slavery in America and the open wounds it left. He was lecturing the audience more than the alien. It was totally out of place in the episode too.
I'm not calling it a victory, I'm not telling you to waste your time, and I'm not saying you're afraid to do it. It's there, and you'll see it some day.
