And alternative chat-bot says this about another recurring enemy:
The Sontarans in Doctor Who are not explicitly meant to be a direct
allegory for any one specific group or ideology. However, they do draw inspiration from various historical and fictional sources, and their
portrayal can be interpreted in different ways that resonate with
different audiences. Here are some common interpretations:
Militarism and War: The Sontarans are a highly militaristic society
obsessed with war and conquest. This can be seen as an allegory for any society that glorifies military power and prioritizes warfare over other solutions.
Fascism and Totalitarianism: The Sontarans' rigid social hierarchy,
obedience to authority, and suppression of individuality can be seen as parallels to fascist and totalitarian regimes.
Colonialism and Imperialism: The Sontarans' expansionist agenda and subjugation of other civilizations can be seen as an allegory for
colonialism and imperialism.
Industrialism and the Dehumanization of Work: The Sontarans' focus on
mass production and cloning their soldiers can be seen as a critique of industrialization and the dehumanization of work.
Blind Patriotism and Groupthink: The Sontarans' unwavering loyalty to
their empire and unquestioning obedience to superiors can be seen as a
warning against blind patriotism and groupthink.
Ultimately, the interpretation of the Sontarans depends on the
individual viewer and their own experiences and perspectives. The Doctor
Who writers have said that they don't intend the Sontarans to be a
one-to-one allegory, but rather a way to explore various themes and
ideas related to war, society, and humanity.
