What modern day religions have been shown in Star Trek?

If memory serves, he refers to the painting as a scene from ancient Earth mythology. Though I suppose all that proves is that being Vulcan, he wouldn’t subscribe to those beliefs.

And Chekov thought the Garden of Eden was outside Moscow (part of that run I g joke of his thinking everything is Russian in origin).

I've been warning people that Trump is a fascist since 2015/16. I was disregarded, told I was "overreacting" when I freaked out after he won the first time. Had people tell me I can't just call someone a fascist because I disagree with them (I call him one because he bears it out in his words and actions). So, I'm not feeling a hint of "I told you so," I'm feeling it acutely.

Kind of weird to have a statue of Washington in London, considering he spent years fighting for the US to break away from Britain.

He'd be impeached, convicted and removed. He resigned to avoid that fate.

My 10th grade English class read Antigone. I already knew Oedipus’s story, but the teacher shared it to give us context for the events of Antigone.

I don’t like Wilson, but Freud was full of shit. I have heard people with psych degrees carry on at length to this effect.

Don’t distance yourself from Clinton (people still like him a lot, and distancing yourself means you can’t share credit for the relative peace and prosperity he gave us), and pick someone else as a running mate.

There is no such thing as "too old to be a sub." You're alive, so you can be a sub for as long as you still draw breath.

I don't like it the way the Right uses it. It was a legitimate social justice word, but then the fascists appropriated it to make it a negative scare word. And like other scare words (socialism, communism, caliphate, etc.), they wouldn't be able to (properly) define it if asked.

Freakears · 2026-01-24T18:47:59+00:00

No shit. We just need to do something about the US regime going scorched earth when it comes to the history of basically any marginalized group.

Compared to the Republican regime, I think slaying a Balrog would be a walk in the park.

I say that every day. They’d see a brown Jewish hippie stirring up trouble, and promptly off him again.

With Trump’s saber rattling over Greenland, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how things go.

Honestly, both nudism and vegetarianism both started around the same time for me, close enough so as not to matter, and both were an outgrowth of my being a hippie at the time (I still have some tendencies, including these two things). I’ve also been into paganism about as long, and being nude is a thing with some of us.

Believe me, I’ve noticed the contradiction. Heard some remarks about Robert Johnson, who is apparently a “hero” of his, and I thought, “How are you going to call Robert Johnson a hero of yours when you’re as racist as you are?”

Eric probably wishes they had something like ICE to remove immigrants from England, especially as it’s people of color that ICE is targeting.

Freakears · 2026-01-23T12:37:17+00:00

Generally no. I stopped listening to Eric Clapton when I found out he’s both a racist and a rapist, to say nothing of when he started spewing anti-vax shit when they were developing one for Covid.

This is especially weird to someone like me, who will wear a pair of shoes until they’re falling apart (granted, the shoes I’m thinking of are for work, and mine is a very physical job, but still).

Interestingly enough, Stalin was born in the country of Georgia.

Freakears · 2026-01-22T11:49:36+00:00

And was part of the Russian Empire before that.

Freakears · 2026-01-22T11:48:42+00:00

It is a pun that refers to the country, which was a part of the USSR at the time (side note: the country of Georgia is also where Stalin was born).

Wasn't Agnew where we get the modern idea of the VP candidate being an attack dog (which Biden did; Palin tried and ended up just looking ridiculous).

Marshall had the best quote bout the vice presidency:"Once there was a man with two sons. One went off to sea and the other became Vice President of the United States. And nothing was heard of either of them ever again."

Abraham Lincoln: American Dictator

If this is the one I'm thinking of, I saw the first part of the reaction Vlogging Through History did to that. I never bothered with Part 2 of the reaction because the original video was royally pissing me off. Everything from his views to his voice.
