Star Trek Discovery season 2 megathread

Well, my similar Libertarian friend feels very far to the right of me on my Discord group, so I can't disagree with you there. I'm just saying, I'm not gonna doubt he's a native offhand.

Well, I dunno, maybe it's just me, but lots of right-wingers argue Warren isn't a native either, and I believe she is, so I'll believe he is too. We can't see him, though, so there is that disadvantage. As I've said before, he reminds me of my young friend I talk to on Discord, who is pretty much the same.

Why the fuck does you "believing" that Elizabeth Warren is Native American (she isn't, IIRC she has a Native ancestor way back or something, and Twitler made a big hullabaloo about it because Donald Trump is a fucking race-baiting moron) matter here?

My point is that since it's impossible to verify X's ethnic background or tribal membership, he's refused to provide any evidence, and he's spouting the same tired alt-right alternative facts, believing him is like believing Donald Trump when that orange twit claims that his hands are really very large and his inauguration crowd was the biggest ever.

It looks to me the orange jerkface did the Left's job for the Left. What she did is no acceptable on the Left.

I'm just saying, I'm not gonna doubt he's a native offhand.

Stick to that. Thanks.

White fragility warms my heart, almost as much as Connolly dying like a punk.

How does it rank compared to the fragility of the Democratic Coalition Captain Petty?

It's just about as productive as that stupid death was to the story.

[Makeshift Python]

As far as ranking goes it's about as delicious as the tears of the Alt-right. Like pouring maple syrup on a stack of pancakes.

SO GOOD.

Surprisingly enough, I found the entirety of Lt. Connolly to be irritatingly lazy writing and a rip-off of Kurtzman's own previous work.

I saw it more as an improvement. Olsen was more of an adrenaline junkie.

The only thing regrettable is that Michael didn't get joy out of his death, just so I could see more heads explode on the internet.

Don't be this way, dude. Just don't. Don't be a fucking stereotype.

Connolly's arc, if you can call it that, is shitty lazy writing and only encourages the alt-right. It's also, as I said, shitty writing, and makes the viewer wonder why Pike even has this incompetent jackass on his ship.

He's only there because Alex Kurtzman, an idiot who only knows how to write self-centered frat boys, thinks that if if he has a white guy act like a smug dick for no reason, then get humiliated in a failed joke and killed for DARING to defy The Great Michael Burnham's superior wisdom and inherently superior intellect, he'll win social-justice points. Which...isn't how it works.

Did we arrive at a proper defition already?

(to stray from STDisco) Of course not.

Many? most? people on the right use "alt-right" to literally mean the "alternative right" as in right-wing but not those Beltway RINO pansies who read "The Weekly Standard."

Many? most? on the left use "alt-right" as a synonym for 'white nationalist'.

Hence the start of infinite flame wars over who's a bigger fascist.

As for Kurtzmann, I'm generally a fan of the simplistic idea that results from idiocy looks the same as results from malice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

Kurtzman looks like a virtue-signaling SJW because he's a lazy, idiot hack. Kurtzman/CBS/Viacom/JJ Abrams doesn't care one way or the other as long as the cash flows in.
