I’ve met this guy. He’s horrible. He genuinely believed gul dukat was a truly good person who did the best he could with the situation. That the bajorans might not have been enslaved, but that gul dukat was clearly trying to be a, and I quote here, “good overseer.”
Blew my freaking mind, and it legitimately ended a friendship when I realized this person believed “good slaveowner” was an actual, possible thing to be.
In fairness, I knew his politics sucked, but I had no idea how badly they sucked. “classical liberal”
