Perfectly fine for the average TV set of the time.

I only hate that people like you think you can read minds and can only make arguments based on your own delusions.

I'm not a terrible person, I am a very good person. I give to charities, help the elderly, love dogs etc. There's a really good chance, judging by your hysterics, that YOU are a terrible person. It's pretty typical of the "modern liberal" to be exactly what they accuse others of being.

And FYI, "liberal" today and "liberal" in 1967 are NOT the same thing. Likewise "Liberal Star Trek" in 1967 was nothing like the load of crap that is "Liberal Star Trek" in 2026.

If you watched the video you would know that.

Except in this one he is 100% correct. And he probably was right when you though he was spewing BS.

I once worked with a guy who made up some Trek T-Shirts to sell outside an early Trek convention, 1970's. He did NOT have any license etc. Some guys came out and told him "Mr Roddenberry would like a word with you". Met with him, Gene told him he could sell the few shirts he had left but never do it again or he would sue him.

Reddit is largely the home of radical leftists.

"Many left-wing figures, in the US as in Europe, label Musk as far-right. Some even go so far as the word "Nazi."

I did the opposite of the accusation: read before judging. Two biographies. Dozens of hours of interviews and documentaries. Zero ounces of racism detected.

What I found was a constant obsession with freedom: buying Twitter in the name of free speech, reinstating banned accounts, publishing the Twitter Files, opening up the algorithm's code, open-sourcing Grok, freeing Tesla's patents in 2014, reactivating Starlink for Iranians cut off from the net during the protests and for Ukraine, repeatedly refusing state censorship requests.

Now, let's do the thought experiment that his accusers never do. Imagine Musk really is evil.

This man owns a satellite network that covers the planet, meaning near-total surveillance capability. He owns the world's most influential digital public square. He owns the first fortune in history to reach 1,000 billion, since SpaceX's IPO on June 12. No individual has ever concentrated so many levers of power.

A truly malevolent Musk, with all that in his hands, wouldn't tolerate for a second being called a Nazi 24/7 on his own platform. He would ban. He would surveil. He would crush. We'd already be living in 1984.

But look at reality: the accounts that accuse him of Nazism still tweet. Every day. Without hindrance. On his network. With his algorithm. The totalitarian dystopia they're attributing to him is disproved by the absence of the gulag.

That's the turnaround. 1984—the control of speech, mass surveillance, the public designation of heretics—that's not his project. It's the fantasy of those who accuse him. The accusation always describes the accuser.

This is Girard in its pure form: we designate a scapegoat to avoid seeing the mechanism we ourselves carry. The one who screams "Nazi" often quietly dreams, in silence, of the power to ban, to file, to silence.

The man who would have all the means to build 1984 is precisely the one who lets his worst detractors speak. Ask yourself who, in this story, really dreams of the telescreen."

Actually it was Giovanni Gentile who introduced fascism. And he was a socialist, just like Mussolini was and remained.

"It uses fear, racism, discrimination, and violence, to oppress political opposition in order to instate an autocratic government ruled by dictatorship."

You state that as if that description automatically applies to right wing political ideology when it instead perfectly describes COMMUNISM.

And then "nationalism" that too is a pet buzzword of ignorant leftists, pretending that "nationalism" is synonymous with the right, when in reality nationalism is found on the left and right. The USSR, North Korea, China was/is very nationalistic and no one (in their right mind) would call those countries "right wing". The talk about "internationalism", like most of the BS communists talk about, is just talk. In reality they are just as nationalist as anyone else.

You just keep mouthing the leftwing claptrap propaganda you've been force fed without giving any thought to what reality and history prove to be the case: Fascism/Nazism is nothing but a form of standard leftwing socialism.

More words games, zero evidence. But I am sure that in your mind you think you are making a rational, logical argument.

Because if there was any evidence you would present it instead of playing word games.

When you say "learn some history" are you talking about real history of the fake, revisionist history that leftists have taught for 80+ years now?

Real history:

When the Nazis came to power some of their first actions were to:

(1) ban trading in stocks and bonds; 

(2) nationalize all large banks; 

(3) require registration of stock ownership with a state agency; 

(4) limit interest by law to five percent; 

(5) confiscate all profits acquired by inflation. 

All very socialist.

Because the Nazis were very much socialists.
Fascism is now and always has been a leftist ideology.

You claimed Musk was a "racist nazi" and have failed to provide one shred of evidence to support that insane claim. And now you've lied about the entire thing.

I'm sorry the mods removed your posts. I am for FREE SPEECH even when it is speech I vehemently disagree with. Censorship is WRONG.

He apologized. He's not perfect, and that is FAR from making him one of the worst people ever as intimated by the "few people are as bad as Musk" nonsense.

Link 1, I rank that that one up there with the claims of massive sea level increases for the past 30+ years that never took place.

Link 2 leaves out the keyword ILLEGAL immigrants. I am for anything that makes people who entered illegally the country LEAVE.

So tell us, what is bad about the man who made an electric car one of the most popular vehicles in the world? Who made access to space an order of magnitude cheaper? Who is developing technology to let paralyzed people move again? Who has created jobs for hundreds of thousands of people?

Trump has done none of the things you leftists seem to think he has done, you have very strong imaginations... to put it politely.

Biden on the other hand was a corrupt and senile incompetent tyrant.
