Patrick Stewart. Sad. The captain of the best atheism propaganda show ever.

Don't forget how woke that show and the original series was.

Yeah. Super woke. But that was always its unique selling point. They were woke long long before it was safe to be so. Not only that, but kept upping the ante. When society had progressed to make it safe they pushed it further again.

Being woke when Star Trek was woke was incredibly brave, cool and awesome. Trailblazing. They will have my eternal admiration for that.

In the period 2000 - 2020 ca, woke was the voice of the establishment. The corporations. The Man. It stopped being about progress. It was reduced to slogans (to sell breakfast cereals). Corporations didn't have to be good at anything. All they needed to do was to say the right things. Progressive causes were cynically exploited by whoever wanted power. It stopped being about the thing they all said it was about.

Star Trek was way before this. They were woke when it meant something. When it was brave. When it was cool.

Btw, this recent woke trend is dead now. It won't be long before woke will be edgy again. But of course, that will need bravery. I have a feeling that very few of the loudest proponents the last 20 years were ever genuine enough to stick around. I assume Star Trek will. Its their thing. It always was.

Go Star Trek
 
As if he couldn't be more awesome, Sir Patrick Stewart was at the top of Top Gear.
