That's one thing that just never really gelled with me: The whole Maquis deal. I was totally with Sisko on this one. These people could just have relocated. It's not like there was a shortage of Federation planets to settle. It's not like they were going to get evicted without any help. The Federation was more than happy to assist all those people resettle, they did afteral, sign their homes away and were going to take responsibility.
No instead they decide to stay with a race that's well known to be absolute fuckers and xenophobic assholes. Of course this leads to hostility and then they just decide to go on a crusade that led them all to be eradicated. Well done. You couldn't just have moved? Fuck if you didn't want to do it again you were literally allowed back on Earth and just enjoyed future social welfare.
But nooooo, you had to be difficult. Zero understanding too, the deal allowed the Federation to make peace with the Cardassian; an empire they were at war with for 20+ years. How many fucking people died in the Cardassian war? You can't fucking move? Federation officer DIED for this peace and you can't fucking move?
Seriously, fuck the Maquis.
