The funny fact is that if the Federation hadn't colonized worlds inside Cardassian space denying the Cardassians access to essential resources when they were desperately short they would have never been forced to occupy Bajor.
The Federation was directly responsible for causing the suffering to the Bajoran people due to taking worlds that did not belong to them.

I think Dukat is pretty much the only long-term rival to a show's captain (aside from Archer and his mysterious man from the future, but that hardly counts) and it allowed him to become a proper, developed character while not being a part of the Fed crew. He's not even an antagonist most of the time, he has his own goals and motivations that often go against Sisko's but up to a point the two work together frequently out of sheer pragmatism. And even as enemies, they still respect each other - until Dukat goes batshit with space magic, that is.

Oh, I know. It still happened, though. The writing seems inconsistent with other characters as well - Sisko has those mood swings when he's so happy about fighting a war that he seems more klingon than Worf, and the next day he relapses into the standard Federation mindset. Even though he's established as one of the few Feds who are willing to go far, the writers never really let him loose

Vulcans were actually pretty smart, and not just in terms of being a near emotionless race obsessed with logic. Consider the events of Enterprise. Vulcans didn't like humans, didn't trust humans, and attempted to hold them back when it came to space exploration, yet no matter how they tried, humans proved to be far too chaotic of a species to be contained. The Vulcans must have realized that they would continue to violently expand despite any effort made, by any species, to push them back. They were too restless, too stubborn, and too arrogant to ever be persuaded or forced from their goals. Now, one might ask 'why not destroy them then?' but remember, the Xindi, being equipped with advanced technology and being aided by other-dimensional future observing aliens, still couldn't destroy Earth, so what hope would Vulcan have of doing so? Not to mention it's against their beliefs to commit genocide, no matter how dangerous the race in question may be.
Basically what Vulcans were left with, was an unpredictable race, practically destined to expand to all corners of the quadrant, that couldn't even be stopped by futuristic doomsday devices. My guess is that they fell back on the ancient logic of 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.' So if anything, the Vulcans decision to join the Federation was most likely an act of self-preservation in the wake of bat-shit crazy humans running amok in the final frontier.

This seems like the right thread for this.
In season 1, episode 15, Bajor is looking to get power production to heat homes on Bajor. A few hundred thousand of them. In order to do so, they intend to tap the molten core of one of the moons of Bajor, which happens to have people living on it and a thriving ecosystem. In the process of magma tapping, gases that will make the moon uninhabitable to humanoids will be released, rendering it unsuitable for years, possibly forever.
Instead of parking a ship with a M/AM reactor on the surface and hooking it into the power grid while they build a more permanent power plant, or asking the Federation for a few generators to help them out over the winter, they decided to destroy a whole ecosystem and move hundreds of people off their homes. A world, now completely useless for anything but mass quantity strip mining.
Dukat was right. The Bajorans are short sighted, needlessly destructive, and petty. He should have wiped them all out.

That man is literally just future-Archer trying to undo his own creation of the Federation. Really one of the writers said recently that that was the eventual twist and if you pay attention to one season finale when Archer's timeline is fucked with (I forget exactly how, I think current-timeline Archer is taken into the future so he can't become future-Archer) the future-man stops talking to his minions entirely and they panic. Rewatch ENT with this in mind and it's blindingly obvious they were leading up to it.

The Vulcans also meddled in Earth Government affairs and convinced leaders to pull funding from various scientific projects because they didn't want the humans to discover those things yet.

>post-Voyager
>post-Dominion War
The Federation gets overconfident after the Dominion War and uses 'you sound like a Cardie' similarly to modern 'you sound like a Nazi' to shut down anyone complaining about the status quo. Janeway uses her new-found fame and influence to take over high-level executive positions and replace those below her with people holding similar ideals. The Academy starts to teach her actions as being the correct ones since she (apparently) managed to uphold federation ideals in the worst situation. Sisko's rants about obscure centuries old racial issues also end up on the curriculum and the actions of Picard and Kirk are disregarded for being white, male and human (Riker and Kirk are also labelled problematic proponents of space rape-culture). Captains become diversity-hires rather than the position being based on merit and gender/alien ratio limits are imposed on officer positions.
Basically the Federation is like the US Federal government, the EU, the UN or any other international/supranational organisation: a bunch of territories initially give up a handful of specific powers to solve some specific issue and this works fine. Then the longer it exists the more it loses sight of what it was supposed to be and morphs into an entity that exists only to enlarge its powers + territory at the cost of small sovereign bodies and push the political beliefs of those in charge (all likely to come from the same handful of nepotistic groups anyway).
Future Archer is thus an old man who has seen his idealism hit up against the reality of the ungrateful later generations: the first few generations struggle to make something and so value it (the Federation) and understand its real purpose, the next few maintain it in the face of adversity (Dominion War and Borg) and so don't quite know why it's there but still value it but the later generations that find themselves in a dominant position with no opponents get complacent and piss it all away. This is what killed Rome, brought down the British Empire, will eventually fuck over the USA and frankly kills every major Empire. Picture him as, say, an American founding father cryogenically stored and defrosted now: what would they think if they were shown the federal government or current state of SJW movements? I'd bet revolution.

I dunno, they'd want Cardassia in the Federation so they'd be careful about that issue. Then again if Bajor gets in first, you could have krinklenoses bitching about spoonheads and have that filter out that way.
>Janeway uses her new-found fame and influence to take over high-level executive positions and replace those below her with people holding similar ideals
Now THIS I can see easily, especially since she was immediately made a flag officer when she got back. She got into a lot of shady shit, hell she murdered someone against the ethics of some of her staff just to get her security officer back. She's lucky every other Starfleet vessel out there got up to worse than she did. Her example is going to be very damaging to the Federation going down the line.
>Sisko's rants about obscure centuries old racial issues
Too busy avoiding child support having nonsense discussions with the wormhole aliens to care about shit like that at the moment.
>the actions of Picard and Kirk are disregarded for being white, male and human
Already sort of happened, Kirk was regarded as way too loose by VOY times and Picard basically had half of Starfleet hate his guts for constantly throwing the Starfleet MIC interests under the bus (see: Pegasus incident) and also to a lesser extent becoming a Borg.
>Future Archer is thus an old man who has seen his idealism hit up against the reality of the ungrateful later generations
The thing is, what does Future Archer replace it all with? I'd assume he probably doesn't want to wipe out everyone, but rather wants something a bit less pear-shaped in the place of the Feds.
