Typically I score around -7,-8 on political compass. So, very much not “right wing”.
Canny with those snap judgements and mono-linear conflations.
I’m mad at the badness in SFA for not upholding the ideals of Gene Roddenberry, and for being crass militaristic propaganda normalising hate, rather than countering it.
I’m not complaining about it being “woke”. Pray tell, where, oh where, was that notion picked up from? Seems as absurdly wrong as Star Trek Starfleet Academy is. Arguably, I’m complaining it’s not “woke” enough, depending on which newspeak dictionary version of “woke” you’re using. I’m complaining that it’s corporate (right wing) dumb-down, stripped of the defining moral fiber, the ethical exploration, the freedom, the self improvement for each and all… y’know, the goodness that makes Star Trek Star Trek?
Quick to ignore = wilfully ignorant?
The Socratic method, and mature epistemological dialogue (like Star Trek’s famous for), may serve us all very well. Would be good to have a new Star Trek that lives up to this, having humility, curiosity, and a rigorous search for the ideal when confronted with moral dilemmas, rather than just fire the phasers; swing the hammer; click the ignore button, like we’ve left ourselves weakened with only one tool in our toolbox, seeing every problem like the same threat. Y’know?
Perhaps you were unaware, but nerdrotic (the author of the video you linked above) is a known bigot and right wing grifter. That’s why the above user concluded that your opinion was not worth listening to. Just thought you should know.
Though I’ll still continue to strive to listen to a wide variety of opinions.
The little I’ve seen from him and the guests he had on, that was not apparent. Rather the contrary, given their love of Star Trek, and their praise of its egalitarian economics and ethics.
So you came into a trek based community to call a trek series stupid?
Which way to the Kurtzman Star Trek Haters Club?
I mean, it’s not not Hogwarts In Space, but you’re also not wrong. 😅
It’s not Star Trek.
An affront to everything Star Trek is about.

I’m not watching some right wing shit head youtuber complain about “woke” trek. Thanks for outing your account as one to ignore.
