After revisiting clips from Drumhead and checking out peoples opinions on it I find an impressive amount of people still don't understand it. The reason why Satie is another member of Starfleet, seen as an ally at first, and so critically why Wharf buys into her actions is because those we work with and agree with _can be turned_ and fight for things you and they are against. To demonstrate how not even the most advance system humanity has invented for itself and the people living in it are not immune from *self-examination.* Any ideology is susceptible to this kind of abuse, especially ones you already abide. It's a human issue, not just a left or right one, and too best be vigilant yourself because zealots are easily made and _you are not immune._

Agreed!!! The useful moral lesson here is not for us to point fingers at others, rather it's to remind us that we must look WITHIN OURSELVES to try and avoid becoming an oppressor. (I'm reminded of people on both the right and left who can read something like "1984" and BOTH become simultaneously convinced that they are the victim of the oppression of their political "opponents.") I am very much capable of "clothing myself in good deeds" in order to justify my own ends, if I will let myself. "Vigilance...That is the price we have to continually pay." One would be hard-put to speak truer words.

I mean everyone thinks they are the hero of their own stories, and no one wants to admit they might be the extremists. Picard was never taking a side, he was warning about people who twist good ideals and manipulate people with supposed nice words or deeds for their own distorted goals and how easy it is for people to be suckered in if they aren't vigilant. The message can certainly be applied to people or groups on both sides of current political issues but one side certainly isn't any better than the other right now both are guilty of doing exactly what the admiral did in this very episode to people who dont think like they do.

I fear in today's world there are a lot of people ready to crusade against a group of people given the opportunity, even if it's just to momentarily attack someone who to them most intensely broadcasts the example of what they so much want to attack. People are blinded by their success and comfort, forgetting where they came from, no appreciation of the struggles of others to make sense of things. Sure, there are people who enjoy tearing things down and attacking indiscriminately, and those people should be corrected if only to keep them from putting others in their own bad headspace. But people who create notions of superiority for themselves and invite scrutiny upon people trying to truly figure things out that don't have so much privilege or advantage is a poisonous seed from which meaningless prejudice grows. As if any prejudice is meaningful... what right do they have to tell anyone how anything is to be figured out? It's troubling that the only way Satie was revealed was by losing her cool - many people on their own witch hunt are much more calm and controlled.

This presents as a sacred moral truth, about defending human rights at all costs. But compare it to the episode “Force of Nature” in season 7, when they adopt a speed limit to prevent irreversible damage to space from warp drives. The Drumhead Picard might see it as a villainous scheme, of course he is too reasonable for that and changes beliefs when presented with new evidence. He takes responsibility for his actions, rather than calling it a witch-hunt.

It's not the party that wants to force you to use 80+ different gender pronouns. It's not the party that tried to illegitimately remove an elected president, with the help of a corrupted FBI. It is not the party that forces businesses to bend to their will or else burn them to the ground. It is not the party that creates hoax after hoax by having the media cut and edit in such a way that something seems to be the opposite of what it really is (the fine people hoax being the most infamous). It's not the party that bans clapping/applause from universities because it's found too offensive and triggers oversensitive people's anxieties. It's not the party that ignores detention of migrant children under Obama, but criticizes Trump for the same, even when the numbers have dropped by 85+% under Trump compared to Obama. It's not the party that sends death threats to an 8-year-old girl who makes satire videos (Mini-AOC). It's not the party that criticizes border walls and deportations and then takes over zones within cities and immediately builds border walls around it and conducts deportations (CHAZ).

Trump is the only one who seems interested in upholding classical liberal values and not abolishing things like the Second Amendment (as well as other amendments), nor is he interested in forcing religious organisations to go against their principles by forcing them to hand out birth control. Which is what Obama did. Yeah, so Trump has been criticizing the mainstream media because they lie, tell half-truths and otherwise misinform... oh noes! Meanwhile, the leftists have been trying to impeach Trump even though he was rightfully chosen by the people of the US. And their plan was to elect Hillary Clinton, who appears to think ''being a woman'' is a relevant presidential qualification and should've determined if she became president. ''Why aren't I fifty points ahead?'' and all that. Yeah, but this is all about Trump... dolts.

Are you all paid or just that stupid? I'm sorry to tell you right wing authoritarianism is on the rise, just look at the shit the crtv ads say... And who contstantly tries to call people "unpatriotic" because they won't suck an orange dick. You all might want to reevaluate your lives if you're this stupid.

You've missed the point. Trump spreads fear constantly Mexicans are after your job, keeps attacking vulnerable people. TNG was all about inclusion.

I'm a huge TNG fan, but I strongly dislike this episode, because of the dualism in it. Star Trek TNG is about moral doubt, grey areas, trying to do what's right while there is no absolute right or wrong. So it disappointed me to hear Picard talking about evil at all, but definitely that he talked about it as if there's demons in this world (universe) that you have to recognise in order to do the right thing. I find that this episode, especially this scene, goes against what I love most about TNG and about Picard.

But there is a right and wrong in TNG. Right is usually the fundamental principles of the Federation which Captain Picard believes in, namely tolerance, equality, diplomacy, personal rights and freedom, peace, doing no harm and using violence only as a last resort and in defense, scientific exploration and progress with the purpose to make life more enjoyable for everyone. Some of these principles were threatened by Sati, someone who probably believed in all of them and swore to uphold them. Her means to find the ones that would disregard them became more and more radical over time out of frustration because of the sheer impossibility of exposing the ones that hide well, without disregarding said principles herself. And over time her disappointed idealistic views and all her frustration gave rise to fanaticism and she became what she swore to defend the Federation against.

You missed the point completely. The whole episode is about the danger of everything being seen as black and white, of ideology being twisted to the point that there can be no exceptions.
