Discovery tackles current political divide

With anti-gravity and replicators, it should be child's play.

Neither of which existed in the days after the war. Only centuries afterward.

Besides, you're presupposing a world which has most of its technology and infrastructure intact. After a global thermonuclear war, how likely do you think that would be?

About as likely as a drunk genius living in Montana considering the choice to travel by either train or aircraft to be simple preference options.

I just wonder who the six hundred-million dead people were supposed to be? The USA seems to have escaped unscathed. To the point that there is rail and airline service less than a decade after the war.

Guess the USA blew up China and the Middle-East.
 
And anyway, that's a.) not how the word is used today anyway, and b.) Nyotarules's choice of terminology, hence why I put it in quotes. We all know what he meant.
 
If it reflects current political standings it will show a Trump like character ruling.

Good stuff :)
 
Tolerant as always. And the left wonders why it keeps losing elections...
In a functioning society we have every right to call the ideas of someone who are not based on any logical analysis of facts garbage. Heck we have every right to be illogical and claim everyone else is insane and deny all the facts and science we want. Disagreeing is not intolerant, neither is not being convinced by lousy arguments. I think your stance is garbage and hope that you would change your mind some day. This does not mean that I will discriminate against you in any way outside of personal preference. Claiming that you are being treated unfairly, i.e. using the term intolerant for people who disagree with you is really kind of pathetic. It comes across as extremely small.
 
And? WWIII isn't real. It "decimated" whatever the writers wanted it to decimate.

The world presented in Star Trek is very narrow. All the internal justifications for that don't make it immune to criticism.
I was trying to be sarcastic....I failed.
 
Earth builds a wall around the Sol System, Earth attempts a Fedxit and fails, Senator Danielle Green great great grand daughter of Colonel Green runs for Earth presidency under the banner 'Make Earth great again'. The Korea...Klingons threatens the galaxy by testing thalaron radiation weapons that leads to them being banned (ST Nemesis). The Federation makes a deal for untapped dilithium from a planet run by a feudal, autocratic matriachy where men have no equal rights, have to cover their faces and are not allowed to fly shuttles unless escorted by females.

He made a fair point in my opinion..
