Very true. We are misled by how Worf tries to be a stereotypically honorable Klingon because he is culturally human. He has little knowledge of how Klingons raised in Qonos understand honor.

@concrete_baby @rdh worf is like an adult religious convert who understands certain rules to be inflexible that people who grew up in the religion understand to be optional at best

Everyone in Ireland knows that type. The second-generation Yank who harkens back to an Old Country that never really existed, all shillelaghs and corned beef.

@faduda @julieofthespirits @concrete_baby @rdh One recalls the one good scene in the otherwise contemptible The Devil's Own: his Irish-American host family serves corned beef and cabbage to baffled and appalled (ostensible) Belfast man Brad Pitt.

@faduda @concrete_baby @rdh I guess the difference is that most people from the Home Country can't stand the Diaspora Nationalist, so why do other Klingons put up with Worf, do they just see it as useful to have an ally in the Federation so they never say anything to his face

I mean, we like Joe Biden mostly because he annoys the Brexiters, so yeah.

@faduda @concrete_baby @rdh I mean Joe Biden's one saving grace is that he's somehow not the most godawful politician in the world right now because God has left us to die in this hot car we call Earth
