People whined about black hobbits and elves.
What?! Fashion-Lizard and his Sidekick Dr.Twink are Woke?! I can't believe it!
Well, it did take a while for Fashion-Lizard to stop being Fascism-Lizard.
Don't forget that the whole Federation is a post captialist utopia which is a political statement in itself.

Wait until people finally get the epiphany that Star Trek is advocating for a world government. And how many here, including outside the Internet, would actually like that?
Precisely.
IIRC, a world government is a prerequisite for joining the Federation isn't it?
I don't know. I might like that? It depends a lot on how it is implemented and who is in charge. 😅
And how much power the global government has compared to individual regions.
World government advocates would want a democray with a strong constitution that ensures checks and balance, and a federal system.
