stephen miller’s new world order

[Jack by the hedge]

There's Miller's new world order for you. If you can't defend yourself, by which he means defend yourself against the United States, you forfeit your country. Resistance is futile.

Might makes Right, baby.

Someday Miller will try this crap on the wrong country...Probably China.

starting a war with europe might be worse than starting one with china

 

[dirtywick]

and the crazy thing is it isn't the demented and sleeping poop pants trump who wants to invade greenland, it's the white nationalist dork pulling his strings.

 

[Jack by the hedge]

I'm reminded that Britain entered what became WW1 because we had a treaty obligation to Belgium, which got invaded.

Not sure what made me think of that now.

stephen miller says might makes right, if you can't defend greenland then us has a right to take it.

In his mind, the world is a game of Risk. Amass enough armies and the world is yours.

He's never played Risk in his life.

I never trust anyone who's never played Risk.

Just like I never trust anyone who has played Diplomacy.

Stephen Miller Suggested a 94-Year-Old Actor Could Save Star Trek From Wokeness — And It Didn’t Go Well

Many people interpreted Miller's X post as a variation of "show me you don't understand the point of 'Star Trek' without saying you don't understand the point of 'Star Trek.'"

Psychopath. From the same mould as Roger "Eat the Rat" Stone.

Obviously never seen Star Trek TOS, which in addition to a very diverse cast, had American TV's first interracial kiss.

Which more than one southern state refused to air.
Miller the Clueless has no idea that it was Shatner who insisted on the kiss and ruined the alternate scenes.

Nichols reflected on the momentous event during a 2010 interview with the Archive of American Television. Due to anxiety from the studio, the production team wanted to film an additional version where the characters didn’t kiss. Nichols explained how Shatner, adamant that the kiss be included, chose to ruin any alternate versions and render the kiss version the only usable take. “When the camera zoomed in,” Nichols shared, “Bill crossed his eyes, and the director didn’t notice it until the next day in dailies. Of course, the last scene was unusable, and they had to go with the kiss scene.” Unbeknownst to them at the time, this decision would etch their names into television history...


The controversy, however, was inevitable. Several stations in America’s southern states outright refused to air the episode. In England, it was banned for almost 25 years.

That is was banned in England for almost 25 years came as an unpleasant surprise to me.

That sounded so unlikely I looked it up. The interracial kiss was not the reason it wasn't shown.

4 episodes of season 1 were not broadcast by the BBC and they later said “After very careful consideration a top level decision was made not to screen the episodes entitled Empath, Whom Gods Destroy, Plato’s Stepchildren and Miri, because they all dealt most unpleasantly with the already unpleasant subjects of madness, torture, sadism and disease.”

People usually forget when they bring this up that this kiss was nonconsensual. Kirk was being forced by a godlike alien to sexually assault a subordinate. It's not exactly a high point.

In the original pilot for TOS, The Cage, Captain Pike took a slate from Yeoman Colt, and says "I can't get used to having a woman on the bridge." Then he notices his Number One (Majel Barret) and says "No offense Lieutenant, you're different, of course." The look Number One gives him is absolutely filthy.

Star Trek was very progressive for its time, but it still put female crewmembers in nanoskirts.

Interesting. But somehow I wonder about that reason. Mid-1960's American TV did not usually "unpleasantly" show "already unpleasant subjects of madness, torture, sadism and disease.” This was the NBC line-up the night Star Trek was on in 1966 which hardl dealt with anything "unpleasant":

7:30PM – Daniel Boone (returning)
8:30PM – Star Trek (new)
9:30PM – The Hero (new)
10:00PM – The Dean Martin Show (returning)

And for 25 years? I bet UK TV showed far more "unpleasant" topics than what Star Trek did during that time.

And they were still all young and attractive

Gene Roddenberry did not have a stellar reputation when it came to casting and writing for female characters. Yes, he envisioned a progressive future with full equality of the sexes. But he still couldn't resist writing them as weak, or nurturing, or just plain eye candy. The wardrobe wasn't the only problem. Sit a room sometime with Marina Sirtis or Gates McFadden sometime and you'll get quite the earful. I think he genuinely wanted to write good female roles, but he just didn't really know how far he'd have to depart from the stereotype to get there.

The link explains. The BBC recognised it would get a certain amount of ridicule for continuing not to show the episodes but noting the young audience who followed Star Trek they decided not to change their original decision. The episodes were shown in the UK when another broadcaster got the rights.
