    Hilariously, after watching a channel that did some comedy skits based on “life in star trek” and very clearly, vocally supportive of progressive ideals, literally one being “work unions are good and necessary even in the Federation where things should be great for everyone” I got a ton of reccommended videosafter each one, from red hats wearing oakleys sitting in trucks looking down at their phone to yell, one of which was literally titled “unions are destroying America”

    My favorite though has to be a video discussing progressive ideals clearly displayed in the original star trek shows from 30+ years ago (The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise) and their tackling of modern socioeconomic and political issues. Non-binary species, white/black patterned species, extremely on-the-nose metaphors for the holocaust and palestine/israel/Gaza, and literally outright showing “fuck your racism here’s a kiss between a white man and a black woman with great hair”

    And the “up next” video was “NUTREK IS TOO WOKE” by a very angry looking man with a confederate navy jack on the wall.
