The Politics of Star Trek — When Peace Becomes Empire
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: George A. Gonzalez
This episode explores The Politics of Star Trek by George A. Gonzalez as a systems-level analysis of how science fiction can expose the political logic behind security, empire, utopianism, neoliberalism, and American foreign policy.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than characters or franchise lore, the episode shows why systems built to preserve stability can begin to reproduce the very imperial logic they claim to oppose.
