Actually nobody should be using ANY of that BS. If you can’t actually go after their POSITIONS without lazy name calling you got nothing.

BS. Calling them communists, which is what they are, absolutely helps CLARIFY their positions. A lot of their strategies, such as classifying people into "oppressed" and "oppressor" classes, is straight out of the classic commie playbook, and their entire philosophy is an existential threat to any nation. You're going to refrain from calling out the disease that is communism because you think it isn't fair play or something? That's ludicrous.

And, by the way, Star Trek TOS wasn't "woke". Woke and liberal aren't the same thing. Star Trek TOS was meant to push attitudes that were liberal AT THE TIME, but you'd be hard put to find ANYONE in this country these days who would argue against anything in TOS EXCEPT the communist Left, who, being "woke", would most certainly freak out over the simple fact that the Captain is a straight white male.

No. Calling them names just shows you lack facts and logic to use against them. It’s just table pounding and pointless.

Yes Trek was woke. I’m not saying woke and liberalism are the same thing. Actually it’s YOU guys that keep doing that. I’m pointing out the Gene’s goal was as much diversity as he could get. That’s woke. And no woke people don’t freak out over the captain being a straight white male. Silly name callers who lack facts and logic SAY woke freaks out over that. But back in reality, not the case.
