Leftists Freak Out over William Shatner Criticizing Social Justice Warriors on Twitter
Breitbart News ^

William Shatner, the actor best known for his role as Captain Kirk on Star Trek, expressed his distaste for social justice warriors and was promptly attacked by SJWs on Twitter and in the media.

Shatner took to Twitter recently to express his distaste over modern day social justice warriors comparing themselves to the social reform movements of the 1960s, which focused on causes such as racial equality and equal pay. Shatner, who took part in one of the earliest interracial kisses ever broadcast on American TV in Star Trek, tweeted, “Why is it that SJW’s think they can align themselves with those that demanded social reform in the 60’s?”

When one user claimed that those that use the term SJW and “snowflake” in a derogatory manner would have protested Star Trek’s interracial kiss, Shatner replied:

And this is your failure of logic. SJWs stand for inequality, where they are superior to any one else hence my use of Misandry and Snowflake.

A flood of responses rolled in to ironically tell Shatner how wrong his opinion was that social justice warriors attempt to exert their superiority over others:

What exactly caused you to so despise Lucas Nolan that you wish to deny him his due credit?

Did Lucas Nolan harm you in some way, causing you to seek to harm him professionally?

lol. That was funny.

To compare this transgender nonsense to the black civil rights movement (though flawed and misguided at times) is absurd.

Today’s brats can’t see that.

Lucas Nolan is considered by many to be a damn fool. is repeated misstatement of the dilithium formula and denial of the warp drive is legendary.

In the words of Quark, he lacks the lobes to be believable

One of the core differences between the 1960s and today, IMHO:

People in the 60s (apart from the fakes looking to pick up women) were looking to change social issues that one could point to that had real, tangible problems that were impacting society. Dome of their solutions were worse than the problem, but the belief was sincere.
The SJWs of today I don't think by and large have that depth of conviction. Its more in the form of virtue signalling, and rarely do I hear a cogent argument or a concrete issue that can be pointed to.

Nothing like 60 years of poor education to lose them the use of logic.

Maybe Shatner needs to focus his ire more on his fellow Canadians.
