Garak is a former spook that served an explicitly genocidal fascist regime and repeatedly tries to get back in and moonlights as a terrorist and starts a war.

It's a borderline insane branding of this corporate tool. Words and stories apparently mean nothing to these people, so if allowed they'll probably destroy the lot of it for all of us.

Garak is a compelling literary figure and is very popular among Trekkies, for good reason, you're understanding the character wrong for example not even Kira Nerys would say only what you reductively said about him.

Yeah, but this megacorporation is not a resistance fighter. It's not even as human as the cardassians.

I get that making GPUs isn't the most environmentally friendly, but the Cardassians literally conqured the homrworld of the Bajorans and enslaved them and strip mined their planet for fifty years. Whatever crimes you think Nvidia is guilty of, they have, at most, one planet they've done things to.

You probably misposted, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I wrote above.

You wrote that Nvidia is inhuman, and that the Cardassians are more human that it, but the Cardassians commited horrible warcrimes while Nvidia, as far as I know, has not.

Horses are human, because they do not commit war crimes?

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, I pointed out that corporations aren't human, for example lacking in things like having a body.
