To be fair, it's probably hard for a black Vulcan to accept and forget the many blatantly racist things that the guy was known for saying about black people.
Even bigger Tim Russ fan now.
Based Tim Russ.
WTF is Shatner and Beltran even doing? Charlie Kirk and people like him call for the harm and death of people that Star Trek once stood to accept and validate. Fuck them both!
Yeah, his comment is about not making people who disagree with you "targets." Sure, I largely agree with that. However, when their entire raison d'être was making other people targets then that's the line where you don't get to be the victim anymore.
Well Shatners is actually rather inline with federation ideals IMO, condemnation of assassination and political violence regardless of their views
Now Beltrans otoh, dripping with right-wing adoration. But he never really liked his ST legacy or ST in general I don't think so doubly fuck him!
condemning violence is fine, but you don’t have to simultaneously normalize deplorable views.
Shatner has no problem saying we can’t discuss flat earth but for some reason draws the line at christian nationalism and white supremecism. there was a time that was a non starter as well, and the collective milquetoast center left is just enabling that overton window shift even more.
we are literally living through the tolerance paradox and it’s enfuriating.
That's not mocking his death. It's just saying he doesn't matter. Which is true. He's a fucking podcaster. No one should care about him as much as these jerkoffs are regardless of his politics .
