Yeah but the principle of it is to let them evolve on their own, when you're already on their planet and they try to kill one of you then it's different rules.

If it wasn't then the romulans could just announce their new law makes being human illegal and Starfleet would just have to power down their shields and let them kill us all.

I think you've considerably misunderstood what the Prime Directive is... It doesn't just apply to unevolved people. It also applies to civilizations that have warp too.

Also literally no, that is not what it means and is an insane comparison.

No you've just got it compartmentalized in your head into happy little feel good boxes because you don't want to think about the actual complexity of reality (well fictional reality)

It's insane not because it's a bad comparison but because it makes clear the insanity in your worldview (or galactic view I guess)

Might as well be listening to a Republican scream about climate change. Same ignorant/uneducated energy lmao
