Talk:The Road Not Taken/@comment-2604:6000:CF00:BF00:75CB:3255:6D8B:B55C-20180517024846

It's really unfortunate to realise that in this instance, the absolute fear of subversion is credible. This becomes especially clear upon the realization that the goa'uld could very easily be among their population, in any position in society maliciously inspiring dissent and chaos in the social sphere in order to dissolve the world into war, making it prime for invasion and destruction by the goa'uld, of whom many not involved in the military may not even understand, or even comprehend the threat to society that they present.

Prior to the revelation to the world of the stargate program, the goa'uld would have otherwise been limited by the fact that nobody knew of the threat of them, but since that point, it only would prove to be the very fulcrum in which the goa'uld could apply their lever onto, in which to destroy society for their benefit. I know this is only just a TV show, but im bored, and I think this episode provices an interesting political circumstance that could make sense in that context, as opposed to being 'authoritarian' for the sake of it. As such, if society that were to even resemble our own were to persist, a lot of hardships would have to be endured simply for the sake of the conflict. Thankfully for us, and unfortunately for people who are pro-censorship, our society isn't being invaded and taken control of by mind controlling snakes.
