Some Men Just Want the Battle: Patterns of Force, Star Trek, Season 2

stock here: some comments on YouTube are extremely astute. I don’t remember this one, but I used to write my own Star Trek episodes.

A-Eye

Gene Roddenberry was 100% spot on with his Star Trek episode Season 2 Episode 21 ” Patterns of Force”

The “Star Trek” episode “Patterns of Force” (Season 2, Episode 21) is notable for its provocative storyline, where the crew of the USS Enterprise discovers that a Federation historian, John Gill, has imposed a Nazi-like regime on the planet Ekos. This episode explores the dangerous consequences of attempting to use a fascist system to create order, showcasing how such ideologies can be twisted to justify atrocities and totalitarian control.

Plot Summary

The episode begins with the Enterprise arriving at the planet Ekos to investigate the disappearance of Federation cultural observer John Gill. The crew is shocked to find that Ekos has developed a society mirroring Nazi Germany, complete with swastikas and Nazi-style uniforms. They discover that Gill, attempting to bring order to a chaotic society, modeled Ekos’ government after Nazi Germany, believing it to be the most efficient system. However, his intentions are perverted by his deputy, Melakon, who uses the regime to promote xenophobia and genocide against the neighboring planet, Zeon.

Kirk and Spock infiltrate the regime, eventually finding Gill drugged and used as a puppet by Melakon. With the help of the resistance, they manage to awaken Gill temporarily, who then denounces the regime and cancels the planned genocide before being killed by Melakon. The episode ends with the Ekosians and Zeons beginning to rebuild their societies without the oppressive Nazi influence.

Analysis

The episode is a stark commentary on the allure and danger of authoritarian systems, demonstrating how even well-intentioned actions can lead to horrific outcomes when such ideologies are employed. It also critiques the idea of imposing external governance systems on other cultures, highlighting the ethical breaches and unforeseen consequences of such actions.

Reception

“Patterns of Force” was controversial, especially in Germany, where it was banned from broadcast until 1995 due to its depiction of Nazi symbols and themes. This underscores the sensitive nature of its content and the powerful impact of its anti-fascist message.

Overall, Gene Roddenberry’s vision in this episode was to use science fiction as a lens to critique real-world political and social issues, a hallmark of the “Star Trek” series.

For more detailed information, you can check the episode’s summaries and analyses on sources like Wikipedia and Memory Alpha.

Let’s Define Leftist vs Liberal, They Are Not the Same Thing At All

Consider wrapping your head around this. The leftists have decided to make an authoritarian push for total control, which is the only way for them to maintain their power and privilege, which if they lose power now, they will not just slink into the dark, but be chased, punished, imprisoned. So they have created the narrative of social justice, the trans “community”, and all the other dividing leftist lies, in order to engage the “feeling” personalities to accept and promote their false causes to create division. These feeling personalities are in large part “the liberals”. Because they operate on empathy and feelings, they accept the lies which have been branded as Woke, to be in stark contrast with MAGA. The perfect setup for easy to hate the other side. But here is my whole point: stop calling them liberals, and go directly to the reality, they are leftist authoritarians and at best liberals who bought the lies of the near total control over media by the leftists

Don’t parse the issue as liberal, go directly to what it is =leftists, whose policies throughout history have always failed, resulting in many societal inefficiencies, including millions of deaths. Those successful in business and media naturally gravitate towards thinking their singular success makes them “right” about most everything, and therefore they know what’s best for everyone else….this becomes authoritarian, and thus leftist.

New Attempted Meme….See We Are Strong On Border Security

Look at this smug POS, at first I thought it was Jeff Bezos, LOL

Note, they say nothing about how these 116 Chinese were picked. That is sure odd. Note that 37,000 Chinese were arrested at the southern border, how many more were never detected? Are those the most dangerous ones, it would make sense.

US deports 116 Chinese migrants in first ‘large’ flight in 5 years (msn.com)

Chinese nationals have become the fastest growing group to cross illegally into the US from the southern border. In the first five months of 2024, US officials apprehended 16,270 Chinese nationals along the US-Mexico border, so that is a rate of 39,048 per year in 2024, up from 37,000 in 2023. But the article claims that they have achieved a reduction of 40%. Total lying BS. And if they allowed to fly into Ecuador without a VISA then we should sanction Ecuador.

The Most Expensive States in the USA: The More Leftist It Is, the More It Costs

stock here: this is not a surprising result. Corruption, Inefficiency, Woke Mediocrity, and Inability to See The Truth, all result in higher cost.

Based on a 40-hour work week, that works out to an hourly wage of about $28 in Massachusetts and about $19 in West Virginia needed to cover basic expenses.

The 15 U.S. states with the highest cost of living for single people—No. 1 isn’t California, New York or Hawaii (msn.com)

Here’s a look at the 15 U.S. states with the highest cost of living, based on how much a single person needs to cover basic costs:

  1. Massachusetts: $58,009
  2. Hawaii: $56,841
  3. California: $56,825
  4. New York: $55,878
  5. Washington: $53,242
  6. Colorado: $51,644
  7. New Jersey: $51,504
  8. Maryland: $51,460
  9. Oregon: $50,553
  10. Rhode Island: $50,418
  11. Connecticut: $50,194
  12. Virginia: $49,973
  13. New Hampshire: $49,045
  14. Arizona: $48,677
  15. Georgia: $48,448

Housing is by far the biggest factor in most people’s budgets. At a median of $17,000, housing costs in the 15 most expensive states are nearly double that of the 15 least expensive states.

Calling The next Leftist Push: Keep The Slaves on the Reservation By Pretending That Everywhere Else is More Expensive

Like wartime Germany, and various genocides, the leftists will restrict movement, and especially leaving the country. This article, from one of the most corrupt, most leftist publications “Business Insider” indicates an attempted meme. Don’t Leave!!!

from the story (meme: and the traffic really sucks, worse than Chicago)

A retired boomer who moved from the US to Costa Rica said it’s ‘horribly incorrect’ to assume life in Central America is much cheaper (msn.com)

Moving across Costa Rica

When he first moved, he had not been to San José, nor did he know where the touristy areas were. He did some research before moving down, though he said there wasn’t much he could tell about particular areas other than what he could find on Google Maps.

He stayed at a hotel in San Pedro, on the capital’s outskirts, and then looked for an apartment nearby. A few decades ago, the area was predominantly coffee fields, meaning many developments are newer and have plenty of nature. However, he discovered he didn’t want to live there because of the intense rainy season. One day, he recalled it taking an hour to drive 100 yards due to the heavy traffic in the rain.

  • Gary Keenan moved from New Mexico to Costa Rica for retirement but found living costs high.
  • Keenan expected lower expenses in Costa Rica but faced double the cost for his car and groceries.
  • Though many are moving to Latin America for retirement, some are finding living costs expensive.

Gary Keenan, 71, moved from New Mexico to the Central Valley of Costa Rica nine years ago for his retirement after selling his company and finalizing a divorce. Little did he know that a decade later, prices for daily expenses would be often double what he paid in the US.7 Ways to Retire Comfortably With $500k

Here is an alternate take, on eating well and living a long healthy life in Costa Rica

I’m from Costa Rica: Here’s what we eat every day for a long, healthy life—it’s our ‘secret to longevity’ (msn.com)

The name “Costa Rica” translates to “Rich Coast” in English. The name was given by Spanish explorers in the early 16th century. The first documented use of the name was by the Spanish conquistador Gil González Dávila in 1522, who, upon arrival, was struck by the perceived wealth of the indigenous people and their lands.

The term “Costa” means “coast,” and “Rica” means “rich” in Spanish. The name reflects the explorers’ initial impression that the region was rich in gold and other resources. This is similar to other places named by the Spanish, such as “Puerto Rico,” which means “Rich Port.”

The name is “Costa Rica” and not “Costa Rico” because in Spanish, “Costa” is a feminine noun, and the adjective “Rica” must agree in gender. Thus, “Rica” is the feminine form of the adjective, aligning with the feminine noun “Costa.” If the noun were masculine, the adjective would be “Rico.”

  1. Clarity and Readability:

  2. Emphasis on Formality:

  3. Space and Style Considerations:
    • In some cases, the decision might be related to the space and style of the publication. Editors might choose to use full names in certain contexts to fit the style or length requirements of the article.
  4. Contextual Importance:
    • The article might be emphasizing the full name to highlight the party’s official title and its political stance clearly, especially in a context where it’s discussing significant political developments or the party’s history.

I see Notley as more of a leftist than a liberal, a liberal would love to have a good debateChatGPT

Rachel Notley is often viewed as a leftist due to her progressive policies and strong advocacy for social justice, labor rights, and environmental initiatives. This perspective contrasts with the classical liberal idea of valuing open debate and dialogue. Here’s a more detailed view of her political stance and how it aligns with leftist ideologies:

Rachel Notley’s Political Stance

  1. Progressive Policies:
    • Notley’s government implemented several progressive policies, such as increasing the minimum wage, enhancing labor standards, and introducing a carbon tax. These actions are typical of a leftist agenda, focused on wealth redistribution, worker rights, and environmental protection.
  2. Social Justice:

Comparison with Liberal Ideals

  • Debate and Dialogue:

This could explain her strong opposition to Tucker Carlson, whom she likely views as a threat to social cohesion and progress.

Conclusion

Rachel Notley’s political actions and policies reflect a strong alignment with leftist ideologies, emphasizing social justice, environmental protection, and economic equality. Her opposition to figures like Tucker Carlson highlights a focus on protecting these values, even at the expense of open debate, which she might see as less productive or potentially harmful given the nature of Carlson’s rhetoric.
