Is there a way to oust him you think?

Because things keep getting worse and Democrats keep running do-nothing losers

The two main anatagnositic forces in DS9 are the Cardassian Empire and the Dominions - different flavours of fascism. Sisko will often use tactics not technical fitting within the moral framework of the Federation to defend the Federation from both.

I would consider that fanfiction in modern parlence and I see it as distinct from plagiarism and piracy as well. And morally okay, good even.

Plagiarism is not pirating. Before copyright existed I doubt it would be socially acceptable to just steal people's ideas as your own.

When I showed a pirated copy of Star Wars to my partner, I didn't claim I made the movie.

I think it's fucked that Israel's role in the rise of Hamas is used as justification to discredit them as a legitimate representative of Palestinians. Its like TERFs doing misogyny through feminism. I think they just don't want Palestine to have a legitimate representative that isn't controlled by the West because Hamas is clearly out of the hands of Netanyahu now. Israel's security officials said it would lead to all out war? Hmm, nothing to see here. Why are we quoting them uncritically? Maybe this revalation that Hamas' rise was influenced by Israel delegitimizes Israel, not Palestines right to self defense.

Since they had a base in every corner of the globe with multiple outpost territories and a neo-colonial relationship with much of the developing world.

You typically need to win 1-2 wars at the start, at that point you either link up with friends or befriend your former enemies.

Im critiquing the subreddit more so then the game. The game mechanics themselves make égal/phile the most powerful playstyle as its much easier to befriend the galaxy then conquer it.

Yeah it bothers me. /r/Stellaris likes to make xenocide jokes and it makes me uncomfortable because I feel it hides a desire in the real. Threads like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/18fvk6p/do_you_think_the_north_sentinelese_people_and/ reveal that people aren't able to joke about genocide given their views on real world people.

I like to call all creepy crawlies bugs so I can pull this pedantic fact. I'm calling spiders bugs and you can't stop me, because you're just as wrong when you call a fly a bug.
