You know, I get the sense Roddenberry and co. thought of WW3, riots, and so on were inevitable but had the hope that eventually mankind would get over it. Too bad the latter is probably the less likely part of that prophecy.
TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Well, we are still not in a nuclear war.
And anyway, the way mankind gets over it is the largest deus ex machina ever created in sci-fi. So, don't count on it either.
The eugenics war? Don't worry, Colossal is working on it.
If you look at history, major events tend to swing like a pendulum, big swing authoritarian then a big swing anti-authoritarian. After the anti-authoritarian swing society tends to keep the more liberal ideals when the pendulum returns to the center.
Not saying we'll see the united earth or star trek ideals in our lifetime, but as long as we don't nuke ourselves out of existence future generations might.
The biggest thing toward Star Trek Earth is pure luck: testing your first ever FTL drive while a friendly alien race just happens to be passing by to see it.
Not with the accelerationist angle, phase.
Sadly the Eugenics War was WW1, since that was a thing. However- yeah, send me into space with Kahn. I'll take that risk for being awesome.
Wasn't half of LA supposed to disappear under water after an earthquake as well? (From they episode in Voyager when they went back in time to earth)
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Best not tempt the "ring of fire" into action if it can be helped.
