      In the mirror universe in Star Trek, Earth is ruled by what’s essentially a continuation or successor to the Roman Empire, called the Terran Empire. They’re fascists who colonize space and subjugate alien races.

      What if, all this time, Star Trek did predict the future, but we didn’t realize we were actually living in the mirror universe? It would explain why the Irish unification of 2024 didn’t happen. picard-annoyed
