Brought to you by the people that think Star Trek is too woke these days.

Special thanks to Discovery for putting the Gay front and center in the Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism of Star Trek.

I'm reminded of fox news saying star wars is to woke these days "that's why I like star trek"

Star Trek isn't woke enough these days.

TNG had Picard give a speech to a person from the past about how the Federation was able to accomplish so much only because society stopped being oriented around the accumulation of wealth.

Discovery had a character praise Elon Musk for being a pioneer.

To be fair to Discovery I think that was written before Musk had completely (or at least publicly) gone off the deep end, but even at the time I thought it was extremely stupid to have a character praise an early 21st century oligarch in the same sentence that they mention actual inventors and engineers.
