In no way trying to defend him, hes hardly unique in this regard. Deplorable, but at best hes just overtly deplorable.

I think the shamelessness is the hallmark of this government.

Its a gradual process. Its not due to reach its peak for another few months afaik.

My assertion would be that baseline expectations for Sci-Fi are too high now.

Keep lots of logs of the writing and the sending, pray this actually happens so you can sue and settle out of court.

Its a shame they're consistently failing to revitalize the franchise but I get it. TV in general was a lot cheaper to make when they were coming out, hence the incredibly long seasons.

Cheaper to make means you need less of a pre-existing fanbase to justify taking the risk.

I hope they have the balls to just go for it some time. They've wasted cash on way worse premises.

Sometimes people need to be shocked out of a lazy political engagement pattern, there arent a lot of ways to achieve it consistently.

at least hes open about it and not sneaky

Probably

Submit to reality, take no action and apply no pressure.

I dont rate this advice.

Expect nothing, demand it anyway.

Your detector is very broken, send it in for repair.

Marxism isn't non-objective by definition. Your interpretation isn't objective simply because it's Marxist. You're applying a particular theoretical framework to determine what these institutions “really” function to do, then treating that conclusion as proof that other frameworks are invalid.

And I've never claimed left and right are a simple spectrum. Something can be multidimensional and still permit relative comparisons along particular dimensions

I comprehend your point. I dispute the premise. You're asserting that the purpose of unions in imperialist countries is to placate workers and maintain imperialism, and therefore their function can't meaningfully be described as left-wing. That's your Marxist interpretation of their systemic role, not an objective property that follows from their existence within imperialism.
