Why Liberals Prefer Star Trek, and Conservatives Star Wars. | |
viking thunder  User ID: 33981591  United States02/13/2013 11:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm conservative. I prefer Star Trek. Your theory doesn't hold up. Quoting: ISO Mr Worf, please escort the OP to his quarters. explain why you would rather live in the Star Trek world than the Star wars one There is plenty of war in Star Trek. It's not all roses and honey. As far as money goes, everyone has everything they need for FREE, and in unlimited amounts. Food, clothing etc. The only thing left to do is explore and fight when required. Star Wars is a much less refined world. It's just somewhat shallow. Star Trek's universe is very complete and fulfilling. Star Trek The Next Generation is the Star Trek in question. Remember that. Liberals hate money, they are as close to anarchists you can get without being a radical. They would love to have everything handed to them, simply because they exist. While the Conservative would work independently, for their yield Liberals are so far from Anarchists the two cannot even be compared. you seem to totally fail in your understanding of what Anarchist means. :Freedom Duck: |

Conservatives tell themselves this narrative to make themselves feel better, but if you came down from Bullshit Mountain once in a while you'd see that it just ain't so. Having said that, I like Star Trek far better. |

Earthlings! Duh! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1245622 United States02/15/2013 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Liberals prefer Star Trek because it shows an advanced time, where a group of ethnically diverse people explore the universe trying to spread their idea of 'peace' and 'coexistence' all the while preferring diplomatic relations as apposed to war. During Star Trek the Next Generation, Capt. Picard constantly makes references to their overall mission being the discovery of new species and establishing diplomatic ties with them, while Liberals parade down the streets saying they tolerate every culture while at the same time condemning Jews. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12373605 Conservatives prefer Star Wars because within star Wars the overriding theme is preserving traditions in order to maintain the balance of power within the universe, not integrating every single culture within another, but keeping the galaxy divided while united, as apposed to Star Trek where their overall goal is that the Federation's views are that every culture should be integrated, and mixed. While the Star Wars universe maintains a healthy diversity, where there is no species mixing, where each planet maintains it's own traditions, uninterrupted by the Republic, but at the same time united and not imposing their views on anyone. Their only connection is the military, while in star trek they share everything, adhere to everything, and 'love' everyone and everything. fantasy vs reality |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23764026 United States05/29/2013 02:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's some random musings. Star Trek - TOS - A reflection of 60s culture - Capt Kirk = The man everyone wanted to be, Mr. Spock -- The logic and reason that kept everyone in check, Dr. McCoy = The "emotional/religious" aspect to keep logic in check. Characters working hard together, and taking decisive action Star Wars (First 3 Films) - A reflection of 70s and 80s culture. -- A fallen order (The Jedi=The Greatest Generation), An evil Empire (The government = Our government started looking more and more like an empire then), People taking actions, but most of them are gambles, and working with disorganized rebels. Star Trek - TNG - A reflections of 90s liberal culture (How many bloody times do they talk about greenhouse gases, global warming, etc. etc.), Few decisive actions taken. The crew takes breaks while a crisis is occurring to chat it up in the ready room like the f*cking universe is on pause while they sort out their feelings. If it wasn't for the impulsive actions of people like Riker and Worf, or the cold logic of data the enterprise would be space trash in a second! (I don't even want to get into the other modern star treks, they're just other talking platforms.) Newer star wars movies (Jedi = Collectivism/Fascism and Control = I can see why the emperor went to the dark side. Those arrogant self righteous pigs should have a light saber put to them a long time ago.) For the good of the republic! Yeah right! As you see fit. I guess every Jedi has his certain point of view like good ole Obi-Wan holding out on Vader being Luke's father. I call that manipulation, and lying! Self Justifying, Lying, force wielding looser fest! Sorry this spiraled into a rant... |

I would be for communal living if everyone had unlimited food and money! That's what it's like in Star Trek. you sir, are a closet Liberal. closet liberal? The dude is a communist if he advocates living communally...  I loved the first the star wars movies, that is all. And now I like the new star trek movies. |

These people are progressives and traditionalist and hate being taxed. They would let their mother starve to death , and kill millions for oil and business in war. Maybe you are talking about conservatives morally and religiously? They are stuck on one moral code that they refuse to waver from. Liberals from the other to is a poler opposite.yet they can still be a progressive or traditionalist.. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 8029797  United Kingdom07/09/2013 03:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, but Star Wars is liberal... Star Wars heroes as "rebels" (rather than conformists), include a drug smuggler (Han), a tomboy peace-corps princess who gets off with her brother, and they all love democracy even though it paralyses society to crime. All whilst hating the army and police, which are presented as faceless tyrants lead by a power-hungry monarch. You don't get much more liberal than that. |
MASS EFFECT!!!
