like, maybe i'm misunderstanding something about the universe of the text because i don't go to doctor who, but i was under the impression that daleks are essentially genocide machines. they're a nazi allegory but infinitely powerful. the daleks win and the universe practically ends, nothing but murder and slavery until the end of time. this is the ultimate existential threat for everyone everywhere ever. if that is the case, which is the impression i get, then the politics of war room are utterly incoherent; "we can't steal this resource from this planet" yes the fuck you can and you could very easily make the argument that it would be unethical not to, like do the writers genuinely expect people to take this smug self-righteous civility wanking seriously in that context 😭

“with respect, sir” said veklin, disrespectfully,

What a shit show! Trump is firing off “executive orders” right and left. Many of them are complete bullshit intended as a smoke screen. But the entire government is rolling over, doing whatever Trump says. Where is the resistance? Where are the people who know this is wrong as fuck just saying no? With all of it going so smoothly for him, Trump will be the world’s first trillionaire before the first year is done.
