The poor history channel. They aren't gonna make it.
- They just need to use AI to change the voice over explaining how glorious Hitler was. And then say how terrible it was when Antifa invaded.

That title fucking killed me.
Well done
UFBC?
- United Federation Broadcasting Company
- United Federation Broadcasting Corporation.
  Not to be confused with the Up yourself Furphy Broadcasting Corporation, which is Australian
  
  “…And even though Morn goes on a 10 minute rant every time he hears us say it, this is UFBC.”
- United Federation of Backwater Countries?
- Probably United Federation Broad Cast.
- Unidentified Flying Broadcasting Company
We should start a change.space petition!
- The Sheliak have declined your right to petition, citing the treaty.
  
  Well then...
  I really don't want to do that but...
  I invoke my right of arbitration.
  
  Looks like it's time to pull a Sisko. Where's the closest Sheliak controlled planet?
The Gleichschaltung has started.
Are we really at the stage of not being able to hate Nazis? Tell me it's just a fever dream.
- We're at the stage where Nazis (who don't call themselves Nazis) run the US government and are cracking down on anyone who disagrees with them. It's your patriotic duty to hate them.
- Make nazis dead again
- No no it’s all good. Hate away.
Dammit, who let the Terran Empire into this universe?
- What are you talking about?! It has always been here.
  
  Are...are we the mirror universe? I don't know why this should be so shocking to me given, well, everything, but I'm going to need a moment to digest this.
- Um.
  Me. That was me.
  Sorry guys. I was making a transporter meme and ope, all Terrans.
Just more federation efforts to please members like Cardassia so that they don't have to fight fascism.
Ok, I had to parse what UFBC actually means to discover if somebody has come after the comic's author or if it's a joke about a fictional universe...
I don't feel good about this.
- I still don't get it.
  
  A comedian on a major broadcast network was recently fired for, after calling a recent assassination in America a senseless killing, sharing mild criticism of the political advocacy done by the dead guy.
  So here, the Universal broadcast network is joked to be firing the comedian Martok.
  
  It's about US politics, if it doesn't apply to you it may not be worth understanding it.
Since fascism.
