    I won’t stand for this Dukat slander. He’ll actually get his hands dirty to get what he wants.

    Still a monster, but one I can… actually weirdly respect.

      That’s right, he guarded a hallway with a pistol and a tailor to defend his facist government, and made deals with the literal space devil, not shit himself on the golf course while his lackey destroys it.

        Oh he is a monster through and through, unapologetically so. Hence the wonderful and unironic asking why there are no statues of him on Bajor.

        However he is a snake that went in himself because he considered it a job to be done. A job that had many perks yes, but a job rather than a reward.

          Isn’t that a characteristic of Cardassian culture? To take family and duty incredibly seriously?

            Nominally, but there seems to be an encouragement of personal ambition couched in terms of ‘for the state.’ Plus those with ambition use this Statist philosophy for self-enrichment as often as not.
