    I know a bunch of trekkies, a fandom around a post scarcity, pseudo communist utopia, embrace crypto despite it being an artificial scarcity concept that doesn’t really fix any of the issues of the preceding system. I make fun of them whenever nfts come up, including posting any negative nft news into the humor channel of their discord.

      The right wing trekkies is the weirdest one for me.

      Like, let me introduce you to the original SJW, a little know fella named idk, Gene Roddenberry.

        They’re not really right wing. Very suburban, sheltered and privileged, but I’ve never heard them talk politics. I can say extra privileged because one of them wanted to put an Battlefield sound board in their car. Sure, that’s what you want. Making it easy to accidentally make the sounds of gunfire if you ever get pulled over by a cop because your taillight is out.

        As far as star trek goes, they’re rather talk about the power output of the phasers then character arcs. They’re very basic.

          They admire the technical details of the blue curtains, in other words, ignoring that it’s a story typically being told with an intended point to it besides “fictional energy beam go psheeeeew.”
