Real Star Trek always dealt with politics to some degree but it kept things pretty general. World government vs divided countries. Terrorism. Rights of sentient beings. Tradition vs progress, etc. Alex Kurtzman trek is more direct. “Ripped from the headlines” inspired stories with obvious and in your face agendas. There’s no nuance. No subtlety. It’s not surprising.
 
Either like it or you're a (insert derogatory comment here) and you are cancelled.

I bet the cancel culture would make a great episode on SNW, I'll never watch STD again.
Aand here we go again. You forgot to mention SJWs, tree huggers, safe spaces, PC-ness gone mad, snowflakes, white knights, wokeness, oversensitive, butthurt, trigger warnings, divisive and "everyone gets a trophy". Oh, and virtue-signaling.
I wonder how we are to deal with this subject (or any other for that matter) when politics inserts itself into the topic at hand?

Stacey Abrams boldly goes to “Star Trek: Discovery” for a presidential cameo
Wonder not: answer is, in no shape or form, based on what I understand of the rules. Or, to be exact, we aren't here. (Unlike you I'm not a supporting member, so I'm not sure if a topic about this can be opened in the Lobby instead.)
 
“Final Mission” is a great episode. Wesley Crusher’s final episode as a regular cast member. Picard and Wesley go off to some conference with a drunk in his space hooptie and it crashes on a desert planet. A good sendoff for Wesley. The episode explored themes of major life changes, grace under pressure, and teamwork. Picard went out of his way to respond to the drunk captain’s belligerence by treating him respectfully and listening to his opinions. A really good one.

Discovery had an episode where two Vulcans went to a meeting in a small ship. There was a lot of screaming and explosions and Michael Burnham crying. I’m pretty sure love saved the day. It explored themes of screaming and explosions and love saving the day.

Politics was killed in the Lobby many moons ago.
