    I am surprised at the many nice, fair, liberal people from my past that, 5-10 years later, have transformed into turbo-racists and Christo-fascists.

      I know a bunch of trekkies, a fandom around a post scarcity, pseudo communist utopia, embrace crypto despite it being an artificial scarcity concept that doesn’t really fix any of the issues of the preceding system. I make fun of them whenever nfts come up, including posting any negative nft news into the humor channel of their discord.

        The right wing trekkies is the weirdest one for me.

        Like, let me introduce you to the original SJW, a little know fella named idk, Gene Roddenberry.

          They’re not really right wing. Very suburban, sheltered and privileged, but I’ve never heard them talk politics. I can say extra privileged because one of them wanted to put an Battlefield sound board in their car. Sure, that’s what you want. Making it easy to accidentally make the sounds of gunfire if you ever get pulled over by a cop because your taillight is out.

          As far as star trek goes, they’re rather talk about the power output of the phasers then character arcs. They’re very basic.

      Just to cover all bases. Maybe you’re just too late due to your brainwashing making you not realize how delusional you are? But of course that’s not the case, because you’re the Super Smartest Guy™, and everyone else is so stupid to not understand your true genius.

      Congrats… I guess?

        You chose to make this post here, in the defense of religious bigotry. Somehow, something about this vague post was enough to trigger the reply you wrote.

        Congrats. No guesses, you achieved exactly what you wanted: Everyone knows you’re an idiot.
