I’ve fallen a bit short of my stated intention in a post last week, which was to post 10 articles a day. OK, “a bit” would be an understatement, but let’s try to hit it up today, shall we? Or hell, let’s at least get it over 5.
One way to do that is to write about the funny shit that I see on Twitter, since I’m on there all the time anyway. This morning’s laugh comes to you from the captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, James Tiberius Kirk aka William Shatner…
She protected her tweets like a true SJW, attack and hide. https://t.co/Ktfkz36ZjI

This was from a couple days ago, so I figured there had to be a write-up of this somewhere. If there is, feel free to link it in the comments below because I couldn’t find it. I think this is an important happening because it shows that the SJW term has truly entered the popular lexicon if someone like Shatner (an 85-year-old guy, by the way) is using it. I can’t tell you how many times people have tried to encourage me to stop using it. Every single time, I tried to explain to them that it was too late to come up with another term because this one had already caught on. Shit like this proves me right.
Oh, and it’s also just plain hilarious to see Shatner lampooning the SJW mentality. I hope you got as big a kick out of it as I did.

It’s nice when a pop culture icon uses the term SJW appropriately (it would be a bigger win if someone like Takei would use it… but I get the feeling he’s too “old school gay” to ever understand why SJWs are vile). The more people exposed to their despicable hypocrisy, the better. Smashes their ability to shape a narrative when people know what they’re about from the beginning.
I’m pretty sure Takei is an SJW. He was spouting crap about the wage gap a while ago.
Well, George apparently doesn’t know what the freaking income tax does to income!!!
Takei is very left wing pseudo intellectual unfortunately.
if he actually knew what sjws were for he would be against them. He is INSANELY politically incorrect. Have you ever heard him on Howard Stern? The shit he says on there would make an sjw head explode at warp speed zero pun…intended (shatner slowmo intended)
Meh.
That means he’ll just be excommunicated quicker. Spreading lies about the wage gap is pretty shitty and where I draw the line.
Riiiight… OK then.
Want more proof?
Here he’s bitching about stereotypes in a joke:

Here he’s calling for boycotting companies which directors didn’t support gay marriage:

That seems like standard SJW behaviour to me.
First off he’s gay it’s understandable he’d fight for gay rights..derp
Second I don’t care if he thinks there is a wage gap or sexism or anything for that matter.
He’s nearly 90 years old for Christ sakes he’s not a trend setter or taste maker nor does he have any influence anywhere.
What I do care about is he’s an guy who’s all about the equal treatment of everyone. His activism days are long dead and like I said before he comes from an era when you could trust something like the NY Times or an equivalent so when they post some nonsense he will believe it. He’s told old to go hunting for info like you so he’s just gonna tweet a little tweet and move on. He’s not out there attending rallies and fighting…anything. I take it you aren’t almost 90 right?
Based on the way you view this and can’t wrap your head around what I’m saying here in any logical way I’d guess you’re young in the 15-23 range most likely.
Some day you will get it.
The point is hating on someone because of a view and ignoring context or any relevant info is immature short sighted and stupid. He’s a good man with a good heart full of nothing but good intention. He’s not some tumblr sjw on a crusade to change your media in fact he’s against censorship, he’s against mass shaming and if he KNEW what sjw’s were for and what the facts were he would be against them. You know nothing of the man yet you have judged him with a couple of links without any thought involved.
Floors yours friend. I’ve nothing left to say. Attack the man, hate the man. Have at it.
First off fighting for gay rights is not the same as attacking companies who have CEO who can have their own personal views. The employees don’t need to suffer because of that. It’s a typical SJW tactic.
So your argument is that he’s senile or stupid because he’s old. Well, OK. If you prefer that explanation. In my view age has nothing to do with it. If you spout lies you should be called out for it. Same with that walking zombie Gloria Steinem.
“Based on the way you view this and can’t wrap your head around what I’m
saying here in any logical way I’d guess you’re young in the 15-23 range
most likely.” – my age has absolutely nothing to do with what I’m saying and you pulled that straight out of your ass. What you are doing is called an ad hominem.
What are you on about? I gave a couple of clear examples where he has said/done some stupid SJW stuff. I don’t hate him. I’m calling him out for the idiotic stuff he’s spouting.
Your entire point is that deep down he’s a good person, because judging from your certainty you personally know him (see I can make shit up too). Have you ever heard the phrase “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”?
I’m sorry that one of your favourite actors has SJW tendencies, but he should be called out for them. I liked Ben Affleck as an actor, but he’s a regressive dickhead and can be scrutinised for being one.
Well it’s sad that he’s an idiot then, isn’t it?
To be fair, George Takei also spoke against making Sulu gay in the third Star Trek reboot film saying that the original character was straight. While he did say he was open to a gay person being in Star Trek, he also said it should be an original character rather than taking an established character and changing it to fit a narrative.
So he’s not completely retarded after all. Probably just selectively misinformed.
Takei is also very Anti-Trump and lambasted Trump in the wake of the Orlando attacks I believe. He’s clearly shilling for Killary Clinton.
He may be anti trump but if he actually knew what sjws were for he would be against them. He is INSANELY politically incorrect. Have you ever heard him on Howard Stern? The shit he says on there would make an sjw head explode at warp speed zero pun…intended (shatner slowmo intended)
I’ve not had much to do with Takei as I live in England and thankfully don’t have to listen to him. All I know was that he had attacked Trump and such, tis all.
He’s actually funny as all hell. Like…the shit that flows out of his mouth is absolutely filthy on a level that shocked even Stern it was amazing.
I think he doesn’t know anything about the wage gap or any topic 3rd wave feminists talk about he just takes them at their word.
The guys life story is very interesting especially when he talks about living in an internment camp during ww2.
He’s genuinely a good dude who’s just misinformed on a couple topics and at his age he doesn’t care to look any deeper hes just looking to he happy and live his last years. Gotta remember when he was young enough to care to look into stuff like the wage gap or whether major news agencies were fact checking or lying there actually was a wage gap and major sexism everywhere. So now at his age if a major publication prints it he will be likely to believe it just like old people believe everything they hear on fox news and CNN.
Can’t say I blame him.
So is Anne Rice, and she’s spoken out against SJWs before.
It is indeed refreshing to see that the SJW term is now in the mainstream and people know that they are censorious bastards.
it’s a long term game changer
The Shat just hit bro level with that tweet. lol
>I can’t tell you how many times people have tried to encourage me to stop using it.
huh? why should we stop using that term? what reasons were given to you?
Kirk just got major points over picard for that. In fact i found a pic of Stewart in a “this is what a feminist looks like” shirt. Don’t know how legit it is. (photoshop is a hell of a poe’s law creation kit)
Original Star Trek is one of my favorite shows and Shatner’s tweets just made it even stronger.
It’s actually fading out of the public consciousness like stupid things always do. Just let it die already.
lol, just one more reason to like the guy.
lol
Denny Crane!
