“He despised you, and everything you stand for,” he adds
Shut up Wesley
I can’t not write “shut up, Wesley” even if he’s right lol.
DON’T SHUT UP, WESLEY.
Stephen Miller being a diehard Trekkie is one of life’s great What the Fucks.
It’s the military structure he likes. Everyone wears a uniform, everyone puts the uniform before themselves. It’s all yes sir, no sir, Klingons decloaking off starboard sir. There is a clear structure of authority and everyone follows it without question. That is the part of Star Trek Stephen Miller likes. He’s so blinded by the set and setting that he doesn’t see the message at all. As far as he’s concerned it’s a space show about subordinates following their Capitan. Nothing more.
It’s funny, I heard an interview once where Gene said he was writing morality plays, and hiding them behind weird alien make up so people wouldn’t notice. I always wondered how anyone could possibly not notice until I read Hatemonger.
He rooted for the authoritarians in Insurrection and Into Darkness and other similar lines I bet.
Hwil Hweaton is an ok guy.
Stephen Miller’s mouth stopped saying fascist/racist shit long enough to say Patrick Stewart’s name?
The ancient Greeks had a good idea with Ostracism.
No need for a trial, or even an accusation of a crime. Just the population saying “this person is shitty and shouldn’t be in the city/country” and they were kicked out for 10 years.
Their democratic system made a lot more sense than ours, TBH. They didn’t elect people to positions, because they thought that would lead to popularity contests doninated by the wealthy (🤔). Positions of power were assigned randomly by sortition (lots) amongst all the male Athenian citizens, they only voted on policy.
They didn’t elect people to positions, because they thought that would lead to popularity contests doninated by the wealthy (🤔).
We should note that the body of eligible (adult male) citizens was far from representative. If 20% of the population were slaves or other non-citizens (leaving 80% citizens), half were women (leaving 40%) and 25% were children (leaving 30%), 70% of the population were unrepresented.
And that’s for the more democratic cities like Athens; oligarchic ones might well implement wealth requirements for full citizenship and some like Sparta were particularly draconic with limting membership (to the point of self-destruction when their citizen body dwindled and they refused to admit new Spartiates).
(Also, Generals actually were elected, but that makes sense since you probably don’t want to randomly allot some guy that might or might not have the skills to coordinate army movement and activities, or might not even be wealthy enough to serve as hoplite themselves because armour is expensive.)
Yeah, that makes much more sense.
Especially because it was random, so in a room with 100 people, you’re very unlikely to have a member of the 0.1%, so it’s easy to decide that tax policy should be to tax the ultra-rich.
PBS did a special a while back where they actually rebuilt the machine used for selecting people. It was a lot like a modern dice tower where you’d pour things in the top and the machine would randomize it. But, instead of using dice, they used black and white balls, and one colour meant people were selected for the position, and the other one meant they didn’t get selected.
Ostracism
No need for a trial…
Just the population saying "this person is shitty
That’s what Canada is doing to the USA in response to their president threatening our sovereignty (and his supporters/enablers - - including Miller - repeating those threats).
Yeah last time Americans practiced that they killed a whole lot of brown ppl
Then they were doing it wrong.
we americans do fuck up just about everything, dont we?
And how!
That miller guy is scum and wants people to suffer, must have been abused and high ACE scores, so he wants revenge and to hurt others, to punch down as the gop, supernatural, military, and other controlling and dualistic groups work and indoctrinate. Trauma bonding is so damaging and unhealthy, yet it’s treated as good and normal. Signs of a sick society that needs the truth. They let the ego and pain body control them and the result is senseless suffering. Many abused do not behave this way so there is hope.
Based af
I was worried for a second that he was talking about the musician and I was like, “ah, fuck, I liked The Joker”. Anyway, yes, agreed.
It’s been a long road, getting from there to here
“Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain’s name out of your f–king Nazi mouth,” he wrote. “He despised you, and everything you stand for.”
Wil Wheaton being awesome as usual.
Carry on!
Stephen miller should just not talk at all
Stephen Miller should just not breathe at all.
I like this option.
The Romans had a method for that. We just need pair of tongs and a white hot knife, may as well go all the way too and take his junk and eyes.
“To the pain”
“I can’t say that I’m familiar with that term”
Man I am tho 😂
Breathe at all.
Not that either.
I would expect that the Democrats are going to be holding quite a few Congressional investigations in the next two years and that he is going to have to be answering quite a few questions in front of Congress for them.
Lol. No. They’ll sweep it all under the rug in the name of “national healing” or some such nonsense. It’s what always happens.
Nah, Democrats are going to be out for blood. They know their based elected them to go after the Trump administration, and investigations are the main lever of power that they have if they have Congress but not the presidency. Where they’re going to run into problems getting to someone like Miller is executive privilege. Anyone vaguely close to the president is going to claim executive privilege, it goes to the courts, and then the Trump administration just tries to run out the clock.
If you can dream and not make dreams your master…
There are very few democrats. Tatching CSPAN currently is akin to watching the muppet show tonight, but all the puppetiers are on the olicgarch payroll.
Oh all the Trump ghouls, Miller is the one that I would fear the most. Far to cold and calculating in how he can inflict the most pain on others.
As the old Frank Zappa line went “They look after no 1, you ain’t even no 2.”
Miller is too obvious. He smells Nazi from a mile away. Not dangerous to anybody with a modicum of common sense.
The real danger is that slick slimeball JD Vance. The only saving grace with him is that he has the charisma of an open hemorrhoid.
If anyone had told me in the 90’s that I would end up deeply admiring Westley Crusher and considering him one of my heroes, I would never have believed it.
In fairness, it’s not new. Wil Wheaton has always been awesome. But this confirms his awesomeness.
His dice do NOT roll nat-20s, lol, not unless the goal is to roll low
The hate for Wil Wheaton has never been warranted. He was a child. He had nothing to do with the writing of his character (wish fulfilment Mary Sue / Marty Stu type of character for Gene Roddenberry).
I’ve been a fan of Wil since before I started watching Star Trek TNG as a kid, when I saw him in Stand By Me. Later in life I learned that he was a nerd, and was “one of us” much more than the other Trek actors. There’s really so much to love about the guy that at this point if you hate him it’s on you, not him.
His character’s a bit annoying in like the first two episodes he’s in, once the writers find their footing he’s fine. He’s not the only character that took a few eps to make sense.
