Is Season 3 of SNW still reactionary?

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade whos been watching s3 since it premiered, but I never finished s2 of Strange New Worlds because I was disappointed at how conservative the show was. Everything I've heard about Hegemony I/II only makes me not want to watch it even more. What are folks thoughts? Is SNW more regressive, particularly in its characterisation of the Gorn, than TOS?

Like, the attitude of Arena was "don't judge a scary alien by their scary appearance".

Conversely, Strange New Worlds seems to be like "actually, its totally justified to kill them cause they're literally evolutionarily built to kill mammal humanoids"

It's reactionary and is 40 years less progressive than TNG, even. I'm glad people are liking the series but I wish it delivered more.

Low IQ voters need low IQ distractions and culture wars for the cultureless. #GOP101

What Tariffs Really Are:

Tariffs are not taxes on other countries. They are taxes that ultimately fall directly on regular people in this country.

The government imposes tariffs on imported goods. Businesses raise prices to pay the extra tax. Consumers pay these taxes through higher prices.

These increased costs take up a larger percentage of lower income budgets. In this way tariffs function as a regressive tax, as they place a larger financial burden on those with less income.

High tariffs also hinder the economy. This leads to fewer jobs and lower wages, and to empty shelves and to a smaller variety of products. These economic effects, combined with higher prices, make tariffs hit hardest on those who can least afford it.

IDK if I can list all the things wrong. I'll group them.

"...every single violation..." Yeah, hyperbole is working terrifically for you. Keep going, yes. Go, go go!

"Make exceptions?" Oh, you blew past that a while ago, dude. You're nipple deep in totally professionally compromised.

Oh, believe me, bro. You were never going to change any minds, only confirm all the accusations against you. Or prove you're a nitwit. Both, probably.

"The entire staff?" Hyperbole! It's such a fall color, though. Are you sure you want to keep going with that? (Hyperbole for $8 thousand million, Alex! Ohhh kay.)

"I'm not going to spend a minute looking for a better example, even though I fucked up and should actually be motivated to do so. I simultaneously cannot look up her info, yet could access her violations, which I'm not gonna do, because wah. So there! 🙊🙉🙈 And I'm going home to my mommy." 😭 B o o. H o o.

"If you don't like it, then you can get the FUCKout!" "I guess this platform just isn't for you people."

"I am infallible, therefore my judgments are never wrong." "I'm not sexist, therefore nothing I've said or done can be called sexist, ever since I read that one book my ex gave me." "You can't question my competence or judgment because I promise you I'm a good feminist! The best one at twitt- I mean tumblr!" (Uh oh! The best is him? It? Whatever, I'm treating his statements as neutered entity/objects... 😜 )

One thing I cannot stand is men negging. It’s such a regressive and stunted trait and it’s always in the guise of getting attention from women who would otherwise not give them the time of day. They simply want attention or a reaction. They’re of the mind that any attention is better than none, so they try to harass, humiliate, or use tired and old PUA tactics that are manipulative simply because they are lame and don’t know how to properly address or approach women, or communicate properly. I always ignore/block them because you won’t get any feminine energy from me. I save that for men who are deserving of it 💕
