Imagine if Star Trek gave sophisticated technology to cultures that have no capability to manage self-maintenance in food production or manufacturing

And planted “democracy!” in cultures that had not advanced in basic rights or are generally backwards.

It would be a short season of chaos and destruction.

How on Earth (pun intended) do we re-introduce a “Prime Directive” into Foreign Policy? State Dept.? Trade?

America doesnt even cheer for itself anymore? Comic writer Frank Miller - For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we’re up against, and the sixth century barbarism that they actually represent.“ Comicbook writer Frank Miller said My high school teachers were ex-hippies and Vietnam vets. People who protested the war and people who served as soldiers. I was taught more about John Lennon than I was about Thomas Jefferson. Comic book artist Frank Miller said how both of his parents were World War II veterans. FDR-era patriots. 'And I was exactly the age to rebel against them.'

It all fit together rather neatly. I could never stomach the flower-child twaddle of the '60s crowd and I was ready to believe that our flag was just an old piece of cloth and that patriotism was just some quaint relic, best left behind us. It was all about the ideas. I schooled myself in the writings of Madison and Franklin and Adams and Jefferson. I came to love those noble, indestructible ideas. Frank Miller he called the terrorist cowards and theives after 911, condemning the actions of terrorist Islamists scumbags that people on this sjw interweb just seem to jump out and defend. He said then came that sunny September morning when airplanes crashed into towers a very few miles from my home and thousands of my neighbors were ruthlessly incinerated -- reduced to ash. For some reason, nobody seems to be talking about who we’re up against, and the sixth century barbarism that they actually represent. These people saw people’s heads off. They enslave women, they genitally mutilate their daughters, they do not behave by any cultural norms that are sensible to us. I’m speaking into a microphone that never could have been a product of their culture, and I’m living in a city where three thousand of my neighbors were killed by thieves of airplanes they never could have built.

Perhaps if we reintroduce book burning — those history books devoting 6 pages to Marilyn Monroe but barely 6 sentences on the Magna Carta.

6C barbarism cannot be transformed into a modern civilization by introducing the fruits of the latter. The leftist “equity” doctrine would empty not just the fruits but the means of production too because these ignorant do-gooders do not understand how the “riches” come to be. It’s only those who never toiled for comforts and security that would demand universal deliverance for any human form.
