Cardassians were right, Bajorans are terrorists (and sluts), and Klingons are savages

Simon Tarses was a Federation citizen and loyal Starfleet crewman. He just wanted to travel the stars. An overzealous prosecutor made him the subject of her investigation because she needed a scapegoat, and he was an easy target because of his racial background. Not only that, but she was preying on the prejudice of local law enforcement (Worf) to push a racist agenda. This is the real lesson of "The Drumhead": don't let prejudice and slavish obedience to the letter of the law blind you to actual justice. The Aaron Satie quote Picard drops during his hearing towards the end is pithy, but vapid. It's just the slippery slope fallacy dressed up with purple prose. It's disappointing to see this episode so widely misunderstood and misquoted. Certain people seem to forget the first 35 minutes while focusing just on the final 10, because it's the final 10 that fits their agenda.

lmao This is an absolute giant pile of bullshit. This episode aired at the end of the Cold War. There are obviously elements here drawing parallels to the Red Scare. And the greater (and rather obvious) message here is that witch hunts will always manage to find "witches".

The final 10 minutes that offends this strag so much are a defense of classical liberal values of free speech and expression that the modern Leftoid has given up all pretense of supporting. They are man-children that have never been told they're wrong. Their world view is based on black and white capeshit and the values expressed in this 30 year old Star Trek episode are far above their comprehension level.
