So I recently finished rewatching Amok Time, and I recall hearing Spock explain to Kirk that the pon farr is part of an ancient tradition that comes even before the time of Surak. This got me wondering about the Romulans, whom we know left Vulcan during the Time of Awakening. Is it possible that the Romulans still wrestle with the pon farr, and that they might retain some of the same Vulcan traditions for dealing with it? What else do the Romulans and Vulcans continue to share in common with one another, in terms of culture and tradition, if anything at all?

They don't. In fact, that's the primary difference between the Romulans and the Vulkans–after they left Vulkan, the Romulans were able to remove the Ponn Farr and their debilitatingly strong emotions through genetic therapy, but in doing so also lost their telepathy.

Logic. Romulans are just less precious and pretentious about it, preferring to apply it to more machiavellian ends. They don't identify with it as much, but because of that they're more effective and balanced. Vulcans ended-up cucked by Humans because of their naval-gazing tendencies. Vulcans are orthodox jews. Romulans are the emancipated, liberal jews of Israel and the US. The orthodox (Vulcans) will ultimately survive, but the liberals (Romulans) will make more of an impact while they're around - ultimately burning themselves out in the process, though.
An interesting angle for post-Nemesis Trek would be unity with Romulans and an integration of Romulans into Starfleet and the Federation, where they quickly edge-out both humans and Vulcans by being able to "pass" as Vulcans. In the end, they disappear though having dissolved into the Federation since they dont ahere to a rigid system like the Vulcans.

People who say that the Ferengi are the jews of Star Trek do not see beyond their greed, the Ferengi may be a bunch of money grubbing businessmen, but it's all part of their philosophy and way of life, you can always trust a Ferengi as long as you pay him. Now with ROMULANS, that's a different story, you can't trust a Romulan period, he will betray you if it benefits his chosen people, he will try to stab you in the back, or even pull a false flag on you, they're extremely autistic about their own border security, but are always entering Federation and even Klingon space. In conclussion, the Romulans are the only jews in star trek.

The Ferengi were allegedly inadvertent Jewish stereotypes early on, then a bunch of Jews later used to make their own greed and treachery seem whimsical while using the Bajorans to push holocaust propaganda. Of course you got the Vulcans, (((Leonard Nemoy))) even got the hand gesture from his Rabbi in some chicken spinning ceremony and it's about how fucking smart they think they are. Romulans and Klingons were just generalized cold war baddies representing the Russians in TOS, and then the Romulans like the Cardassians represented everything the Jews are afraid of. Another uncompromising race fanatically pursuing their own self interest. Klingons however just became niggers to appease Trek fans cuck fantasies. Then Trump supporters I guess on Discovery but that show doesn't matter.

Romulans are either space Chinks who are yellow Jews but don't subvert your nation with sex propaganda from within, or space Romans when being compared to the Greek Vulcans. There are three varieties of Jew in Trek: the Bajorans, the Ferengi, and the changelings, each showcasing a different aspect of Talmudry.

They're literal shape-shifters who infiltrate nations and subvert them from within. They think themselves superior to all goyim solids, and the only way to be safe from them is to keep them all under their control. They have intellectual shabbos Vorta that keep their populations in line, and they grow patriotic ZOGbots in vats to fight wars on their behalf. They justify all of this through referencing nonspecific persecution stories in the distant past. How do you not see it?
>>31887
It's mostly in the pilot episode. The Klangs talk about how the Federation's peace rhetoric is actually a ploy to make them like equality and diversity or some shit. I'm not going to re-watch any part of STD to find a quote, you can do that yourself if you want.

I could see the Romulans being really into humiliation raceplay. There's a lot of proud super-straight white guys who secretly yearn for a big black cock to tickle their prostate. By the same token, I see Romulan isolationism as a culture-wide repression of their desire to taste the forbidden fruit of foreign domination. I'd bet a lot of the Romulan leadership would happily spend an afternoon in a gloryhole, slurping down load after load of human sperm.
