They’re very much behaving like low energy Kalingrad payroll people. No passion, no vision, just following instructions.

The thing that’s really fucked about this is that they are openly calling for violence now, and that .world is allowing them to mod commities here, where if anyone says anything pro-democracy in their echo chambers you get permabanned and called a Zionist.

That and they don’t care about the genocide, they use it as a dogwhistle to recruit disillusioned progressive young people and softly open them up to radicalisation and violence.

You got to wonder why this platform is free.

If nothing changes, the people who created this will be the ones to get it shut down when some idiot will blow up something and have a whole Lemmy history.

Years ago I saw some clips of him saying some cringe sleezy things to who ever he was with. I've seen clips of his sense of humor. He definitely wasn't trying to "embody starfleet ideals"

...so I think he was just a man off set. Like all actors, like any man. I wouldn't take that as some affront to Starfleet ideals... In fact it's more Starfleet to acknowledge he was just a human playing a role, so was a complete and flawed person outside of that idealized role (you know humanize him, give him his humanity)... Rather than to keep up this pretense that he was the embodiment of the character off and on set.

That's not how actors and acting works.

He may have been a good or bad man. I did not know him in daily life... And I don't think you did either. That's not something to be offended by.

Absolutely, there must be in order for him to pull off such a portrayal.
