    For me, this is nonsensical. Star Trek being political is a truism. It makes no sense to claim it. It’s like saying politics is political.

    Even talking about it is inviting a counter argument which can only be nonsense.

    But I’m also old, from the time start trek was political.

      Idiots complaining about how star trek is “political now” are speaking nonsense but they’re still speaking. It’s important to counter this because idiots, gullible folks, and people not paying attention, will be sucked in by the nonsense if it’s unopposed

        It alternated. Sometimes they boldly went. Other times it was other stuff, like politics.

        Fact is, the other stuff is more popular than scifi. And that’s why they do it.
