Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I have a very hard time reconciling contemporary european tendens to right wing to my own moral compass. How do you guys (if feeling the same) deal with it? If you feel different , i would also like to hear your thoughts.

I come to term with this by reminding myself of how shite it is everywhere these days. You’ll find right wing tendencies all over the world, whether that’s South East Asia, Africa or America of course.

This doesn’t mean I stop fighting for what I believe is right (basically leaving people the fuck alone instead of attacking them for their gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion). It just helps me not constantly re-considering whether I’ve made the right choice by living in Europe.

That said, anyone has an idea of how to not be annoyed by far right dudes describing themselves as trekkies?

I haven't seen any of those. I dont get how they could exist in such a cognitive dissonance.
