I legit had a conversation with a MAGA who was telling me the Star Trek universe was awesome and we should try to do that, and when I pointed out it was literally space communism he visibly bluescreened. I wish I’d recorded it.
On a superficial level, what you have is a military vessel captained by a white human male that goes around saving the poor savage primitive and less enlightened cultures. The captain even basically does whatever he wants, and any force he uses is accepted, if not outright lauded. That’s basically everything white nationalists dream of.
And it doesn’t help that some of the aggressor cultures like the Klingons have darker skin and are shown (again, from a superficial viewpoint) as unreasonably violent with a culture that espouses it.
Remember, these are the same geniuses that think Starship Troopers wasn’t a biting parody and that Rage Against The Machine was espousing far right ideals. Media literacy and paying attention to anything more than superficial stuff is not really their forte.
Lol fucking Miller dressed up in trek uniforms, then says “why would we have diversity?”

It’s also one of the “wokest” shows to ever exist as well. The first TV interracial kiss was on Star Trek.

That’s the sad part. He’s probably one of those idiots crying “why did Star Trek go woke‽”…like, news flash.
Sadly it’s not that surprising.
