I never thought of that - he does use the same techniques he criticizes the magicians for using. Good point.
I wish I remembered which episodes he tipped his hand by ridiculing Q, but for me it revealed his true intention. How someone you mostly agree with can still be working for the enemy. It also, like you said, felt forced and phony.
Regardless, it reminds me of the propaganda they pushed in the 60’s - if you don’t agree with society, drop out and move to the middle of nowhere. Instead of trying to fix the system where you live, and trying to truly challenge the establishment. Don’t get me wrong, I still dream of having my own homestead someday but now is not the time to tuck tail and run.
