just saw a post that described Starfleet as a nonprofit and i'm just like oh dang, the military propaganda got another one, boys
#starfleet is the federation's military so jot that down#they are canonically the evolution of the united states navy#also there is no such thing as a nonprofit in a galaxy without an economy#those starships are armed to the teeth#and they are canonically deployed into battle for various wars#and they have a black ops unit#their goal is not to be noble they are not do gooders they are literally a military presence#that occupies and defends most of the alpha quadrant#and they have canonically allowed human rights violations or alien versions thereof to happen for the sake of alliances#they've deployed biological weapons for mass genocide and have used torture#rank and duty mean everything to starfleet officers#and their ranks are directly lifted from the navy#they are not some Good And Noble Nonprofit just because they are the protagonists#not tagging this salty ass post ofc#but like i hope people realize this#idk how much military money is actually funneled into the shows#but the star trek universe is just as much military propaganda as the mcu is
