    Just as with the Ferengi in Star Trek, actual Humanity aligns far more with Orcs than it does in universe humanity.

      Don’t you slander the ferengi like that! Their economic system is mega fucked, but it is at least honest about that and consistent.

      They have a specific code of (business) conduct they for the most part always adhere to, and no ferengi will cry foul when someone else fucks them over as long as it’s done according to the rules.

      And as Quark points out in that one episode, we did and do a bunch of barbaric things the ferengi never did because they wouldn’t go that far, like slavery and genocide.
