    I don’t agree with your point.
    First, there’s a lot of old trek episodes basically just saying „X is wrong, y’all stop doing this, please!“
    Second, there still is a lot of times new trek shows that working together is beneficial for everyone. There’s even a whole show exactly about that called Prodigy, and it’s really great.

      True, in old trek they too had “we know better” thing, but the feeling was different (for me), as in they were hopeful in tone and intentionally tried to be non-violent even in situations where it would be a lot easier to just force their way. I will look at Prodigy again, thank you for recommendation.

        I don’t find Strange New World for example particularly violent, even compared to old trek. It is sometimes grittier when exploring how war traumatizes people caught up in it, sure but I don’t think that’s what you mean.

        However, that is not what’s being criticized usually. Most complaints about new trek being “woke” is about stuff like the inclusion of a gay couple or nonbinary characters.
