The new Star Trek series has a female captain and female first officer, and the Trumplodytes are losing their shit. They’re calling it “SJW in space.” Hey, dipshits, Star Trek IS social justice warriors in space. Always has been, for the last 50 MOTHERFUCKING YEARS. That’s what it was created to be since day one. How can you just have fucking noticed this?? It was created during violent civil rights unrests and a black woman is one of the highest ranking officers on the ship. It was created during the massively unpopular Vietnam War and the second in command, Mr. Spock, comes from a planet of pacifists. And, during the most tense and perilous part of the Cold War, they put a fucking Russian officer on the bridge. Seriously, where the fuck have you been?
“Just saw the trailer for the new Star Wars movie and guess what they put in it? Goddamn lasers and spaceships. Way to sell out to the Jews who run the special effects companies, snowflakes. Guess we just can’t have any of OUR traditions. #theforceiswhitewithyou #obamawankenobi”
Quick original series breakdown by season, episode number, and social content that will last until my thumb gets tired of typing:
S1 E07 Mudd’s Women – anti sexism
S1 E15 Balance Of Terror – anti dehumanization of political enemies
S1 E17 The Galileo Seven – anti racism, pro cross-cultural tolerance
S1 E19 Arena – calls for an end to “an eye for an eye” thinking
S1 E24 A Taste Of Armageddon – anti militarism
S1 E26 The Devil In The Dark – anti aggression
S2 E05 The Apple – pro intellectualism, anti superstition
S2 E06 The Doomsday Machine – anti nuclear proliferation
S2 E10 Journey To Babel – anti racism, anti nationalism
S2 E13 Obsession – anti revenge
S2 E17 A Piece Of The Action – anti dogmatism, anti violence
S2 E21 Patterns Of Force – warning against the rise of neo-Nazi white supremacy groups
S2 E26 Bread And Circuses – anti state controlled media
S3 E06 Spectre Of The Gun – anti romanticization of violence
S3 E07 Day Of The Dove – anti war, anti aggression
S3 E15 Let That Be Your Last Battlefield – anti racism
S3 E20 The Way To Eden – sympathetic to protesters and antiestablishment ideology
S3 E21 The Cloud Minders – anti elitism, anti class-based socioeconomics
And those are just the ones I remember. In truth, liberal and socially conscious ideology is sprinkled throughout almost every episode of Star Trek at some point. And it’s ironic that the whiners would try to use the term “social justice warrior” as a pejorative. Any hard core Trekkie like myself will hear that and say, “You’re goddamned right.”
