  • Star Trek as a whole has had the potential for extreme libbitude from the start, don’t kid yourself. People love to point to the “conservative Trek fan” is the go to example of someone missing the point of media entirely, but frankly, it’s not an entirely unreasonable interpretation for someone to arrive at. Starfleet is a heavily America-coded intergalactic military force that is portrayed as the ultimate good, going out and doing endless “peacekeeping missions” that inevitably end up with armed conflict. Humanity literally made it to the “golden enlightenment” era because one Great Man made a warp drive all on his lonesome and met aliens. There’s even this undercurrent that Starfleet is basically inevitable, so you don’t need to put effort into changing anything, everything will sort itself out in due time so you don’t have to inconvenience yourself or make any sacrifices on a people-wide scale about it. It’s lib.











  • You have to ask whether a not whether a movie based on an ancient Greek poem that burns out all the ancient Greek historical/mythological context so you’re just left with a story about a warrior killing people in the east and returning home and killing everyone who “sullied his house” and then crying about it, all released in 2026 right wing hellworld and catering to those “people”, is woke or not? Not to mention them chucking plastic skeleton props into environmentally protected areas of an Italian sea and leaving them to decompose and poison the environment?

    What do YOU think the answer is going to be?



  • The average person is paradoxically far too knowledgeable for their own good, specifically because they are not knowledgeable enough. The ideal is to be highly educated, but being totally uneducated is far preferable to being slightly educated. Being highly educated allows you to be right. Being slightly educated allows you to be totally wrong while having some scraps of “backup” for your claims. The midwit is far more dangerous than the totally uneducated, because the midwit can be far more effectively weaponized against Communism due to their appearance of “correctness” brought about by knowing some irrelevant trivia.
