    Star Trek has been utopian space communism from the very beginning.

    Science fiction has always been a vehicle for exploring woke ideas. Separating an issue from its current context allows the audience to set aside their biases and look with fresh eyes.

        Woke started out being used in a positive manner by people of color to describe social awareness, then conservatives decided to use it as a mockery of those who dare to ask for a more caring and supportive society. The right didn’t come up with that term.

        no it isn’t. it means being aware of systemic oppression. don’t let those asshats get away with redefining it.
