There you go again. Insisting you’re right while not trying to bring any facts. Because you don’t any. Same to you as the other guy: IDIC

That IS the woke ideology right there. Woke stole if from Gene. If you didn’t get that then you weren’t actually a Trek fan. And if you still don’t get it you aren’t actually intelligent.

Wow, sounds like your’re almost ready to cry now. This shouldn’t take long. Let’s get started:

You obviously don’t understand the term “woke”. You seem to think it is just a new term for your grandaddy’s old, misguided leftism from the 50s and 60s. Well, it isn’t - it is what the old ideas of liberalism mutated into once they were inundated with enough leninist/marxist garbage. Roddenberry and his contemporaries would have considered themselves “liberals” in their time, but “wokeism” is something different.

The liberals of Roddenberry’s time would have been shocked and appalled at things like 64 genders, grooming pre-pubescent children into changing their sex through hormone treatment and surgery, drag queens reading to pre-schoolers, people choosing oddball pronouns and demanding the world use those ridiculous things on pain of social cancellation, cross-dressers and trannies being in high places in government, including the military and presidential cabinet, and the idea that one must be a trained biologist to tell the difference between men and women.

Even as communist as many of them could be, and thus familiar with the idea of “oppressor” and “oppressed” classes, I think they would still have been shocked at the current DEI and Critical Race Theory dogmas being pushed that white people are inherently evil and inferior and should be wiped off the earth.

But these monstrosities, among many others, are the backbone of “wokeism”. If you need real-world current examples of how “wokeism” manifests in current society, you only need to look at Hollywood. You think Roddenberry was “woke” because he had Kirk kiss Uhura, especially in a time when interracial marriages had already been taking place for decades? Bah. Modern Woke Hollywood and its international counterparts now pollute every show, every documentary, every movie with their twisted ideology that Roddenberry and his ilk wouldn’t even recognize, let alone support. Race replacement and exclusion of whites from their own history and culture, constant sexual perversion promoted as normal, women consistently shown as physically and mentally dominant beings who can do no wrong, among myriad other atrocities.

Some examples:

1) Documentary about Cleopatra depicting her as black, despite clear documentation of her being Greek and existing paintings which show her fair skin, then promoting that lie as a social breakthrough
2) The BBC famously depicting Isaac Newton (in a documetnary) as an indian fellow, depicting Guenevere in the Arthurian legends as black, and showing Victorian London as having a modern day racial diversity, with non-caucasian lords and ladies.

Movies:
1) Peter Pan and Wendy: Peter Pan is now a south asian kid, and Wendy beats his ass easily, Tinkerbell is black. Half of the Lost Boys are girls.
2) The Little Mermaid (a Danish fairy tale): The red-haired fair mermaid is now black. The setting is now the Caribbean, and the queen is black. Poseidon has multiple mermaid daughters, all of whom are different races from each other.
3) Snow White: Snow White is now a darker-complected latina, and the seven dwarves are all normal size people of various races and some are women.

I could go on for quite a while (one only has to turn on any modern programming) but the point should be clear. The above examples are all traditional European stories. Imagine a traditional African story cast with white people, or a traditional Chinese story cast with white people, etc.

A last point to make in this regard: TV commercials are often pure, anti-white or anti-male propaganda. If you want a fine example of this, check out the “Best a man can get” series from Gilette which is a company which sells products aimed at masculine men, yet astonishingly came up with a whole line of commercials depicting men as bullies and rapists presumably to SELL RAZORS. There is no logical reason to sabotage your own brand this way, except when your upper management echelons have been filled by people brainwashed with wokeness.

This will get you started. You have to understand “woke” before you can understand how absolutely wrong about Star Trek TOS’s relation to “wokeness”. Good luck.
