William Shatner sets his phaser to maximum against the warriors of planet social justice

98  2017-08-25 by HivemindBuster

It all started with this tweet, which inevitably caused an explosion of self congratulatory sanctimony.

Eventually Shatner himself caught wind of this and had a few things to say, click through the retweets to follow the threads

Shatner: And it's the SJW gift that keeps giving even though they have been duped.

After getting into a spat about his use of the term 'SJW' he suddenly goes senile makes this incoherent tweet

Drama queen gets owned

"Virtual signalling"

I have a hard time believing these were written by someone over the age of 35.

1  Wowbagger1 2017-08-25

cray cray

Yeah I doubt it. Also apparently he's tweeted like 30 times in the last two hours. That's enough shitposting grandpa.

1  LordBlackmore 2017-08-25

He probably doesn't remember that he just tweeted.

1  Kuonji 2017-08-25

Every time I bring up the fact that Shatner isn't actually behind the keyboard tweeting about the latest CW drama I get downvoted. It's painfully obvious that an 80 something year old dude like Shatner is sitting around shitposting on twitter most of the day.

1  Miguk_Saram 2017-08-25

If it was something really bizarre like My Little Pony, I could almost believe he was into it. But CW teen girl shit? This is a guy who was one or two rungs below being a leading man back when Stalin was in power.

1  dogbref 2017-08-25

I'd be inclined to agree but if he just had someone using his twitter, someone would've notified him that the guy is getting into e-fights with people in his name. he's been doing it for months.

1  Kuonji 2017-08-25

I doubt he gives a shit.

1  grep_var_log 2017-08-25

The President of the United States does exactly that.

1  Kuonji 2017-08-25

The volume of tweets is incomparable.

How new are you?

It's like they don't even follow the news.

1  CirqueDuFuder 2017-08-25

How did you manage to avoid the news in the past year? Just how?

Having always believed that Kirk > Pickard, I will keep my smug smile of victory for the rest of the day.

Yet another reason Pickard was the worse captain.

Think about the science required for a holodeck to work for Data.

star trek universe

"""science""" that makes sense and behaves consistently

1  youcanteatbullets 2017-08-25

LIES! STAR TREK IS NOT ONLY INTERNALLY CONSISTENT BUT FULLY TRUE IN EVERY WAY. JUST WAIT UNTIL APRIL 5 2063 AND ZEFRAM COCHRANE WILL SHOW YOU ALL!

1  eDgEIN708 2017-08-25

Yeah, it doesn't help that the Failing New York Times and Fake News ☪NN didn't report at all about those early 90's eugenics wars!

1  Clark_Savage_Jr 2017-08-25

Only 90's kids will remember those.

1  toynbeeidea16 2017-08-25

To be fair, that was second season TNG, and most of second season was garbage.

Though yeah, I'm in still in the Kirk > Picard camp.

1  autistitron 2017-08-25

Ironically it's Picard that's getting fucked by SJW's in the end, it's always the same pattern:

  • Picard gets SJW praise and a high horse
  • That high horse makes him a valuable target for SJW's
  • High-tier SJW attacks/bullies him on Twitter to get a response and capitalize.
  • Picard defends himself or just responds with @ mention
  • "HELP I'M BEING HARASSED I FEEL UNSAFE, SIGNAL BOOST AND PAYPAL.ME"
  • SJW feeding frenzy as they compete in attacking him and acting victimized when he responds.
  • Kirk just watches and preaches to his new-found alt-right fanbase.

It's like we're stuck I a repeating time loop except it eats a different celebrity each time.

1  Denny_Craine 2017-08-25

Look say Shatner > Stewart all you want but don't you whores dare besmirch the name of Jean-Luc Picard

Patrick Stewart in a nutshell.

1  dis_is_my_account 2017-08-25

You surely understand how incredibly fucking stupid that point you just tried to make is?

You should feel ashamed for exposing everyone else to it. SJWs are not recognized - that doesn't mean it somehow doesn't deserve consideration or suddenly stop being a thing that exists.

Or were you the type that pointed to 4chan in 2005 and said "Point of these, alt-right? I'll wait."

Here's something to think about:

If you stand on a side of a particular issue, do two things:

  • Make a good argument

  • Don't be stupid

It is possible in almost all cases to do this on either side.... What you have done is make a poor argument, and through your obvious stupidity in attempting to make it, actually do more harm to your cause through association than if you had just not opened your mouth - or better, if you'd put in some effort to make a point that wasn't patently disingenuous. Stating "X exists in current state, therefore, x is current state" is absolutely useless. Particularly when SJW legitimacy is hotly political and largely a popularity contest.

Use the facts, because at least someone has to prove you wrong. When you just use shitty disingenuous logic that is circular or means nothing by standing on its own, you don't even force that level of effort.

1  SperglockHolmes 2017-08-25

Is this a new copypasta?

1  Sarge_Ward 2017-08-25

yeah its decently new.

Shatner letting his 4chan hobby leak into non-anonymous forums isn't very new. I'd say he's a pretty prime candidate for and /r/drama mod.

1  Miguk_Saram 2017-08-25

So then I guess this is the person he pays to tweet for him, not a hack.

1  captainpriapism 2017-08-25

shatners been giving sjws shit on twitter for ages im pretty sure its actually him doing it

1  Miguk_Saram 2017-08-25

The Shat made a movie about being old in 1982. I'm pretty sure that by the time the term "SJW" existed, he was long past the age where you learn new vocabulary.

1  youcanteatbullets 2017-08-25

Recent events have shown you're never to old to be a catty bitch.

1  Teresa_May 2017-08-25

It is really bizarre seeing terms popularised on places like reddit and INFOWARS, like "globalist" and "SJW", showing up in mainstream discourse.

1  snappleteadrink 2017-08-25

It's ALL mixing together, all the culture, all the terms, whatever. You have old ass fucks who were alive to see 4chan explode a van on the news now regularly using cuck as a political term while arguing with teenagers on the donald. We have 20 year olds in college looking at the same retarded "memes" and watching the same stuff on youtube as kids in fucking elementary school. As the segregation is ending the internet is turning into a giant piece of shit.

1  RaoulDukeff 2017-08-25

'Member late 90's early 00's when the retards couldn't or didn't want to use "the internet"? 'Member interesting discussion and humor? I 'member.

1  glmox 2017-08-25

'Member interesting discussion and humor? I 'member.

those are false memories

1  RaoulDukeff 2017-08-25

I clearly remember discussing and arguing without retards being offended or stirring the discussion towards their obsessions all the time or other retards spamming their hate and stupidity. There were trolls of course, maybe even more than now but at least they were clever ones.

1  glmox 2017-08-25

no, you dont understand. those memories were implanted for purposes beyond our imagining. there has actually never been a time when anything was interesting or funny.

1  RaoulDukeff 2017-08-25

But who could possibly do that? Is it a conspiracy?

1  kermit_was_right 2017-08-25

Things were funnier when you were young and stupid because you were young and stupid.

Nope, I had a shitty childhood so I was always a cynical asshole.

Hey I don't disagree that it kept getting dumber but you gotta agree that it really went to shit late 00's when clickbait trash like Buzzfeed became popular.

1  toynbeeidea16 2017-08-25

Do you remember Eternal September? I do, I was actually there.

Talk to /u/SnallyGaster, she'll point you out to all SORTS of retardation on the interwebs from the 90s.

See my post there: https://www.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/6vvsj2/william_shatner_sets_his_phaser_to_maximum/dm3sfga/

You can't argue with a straight face that the internet of the 90's-mid '00s wasn't better than this utter stupidity of clickbait trash, corporate conglomerates censoring anything they disagree with and pushing their own narrative, imbeciles parroting bullshit and following internet cults and so on. Trumptards, SJWs and so on are all products of this retarded new internet, that is enough proof of how toxic it has become.

Twitter is basically talk radio for SJWs.

1  CirqueDuFuder 2017-08-25

That is essentially all twitter is except there is no way to cut off the callers.

1  EddingtonDidNothingW 2017-08-25

Generic SJW drama aside, I thought this comment was the funniest. I don't know about you guys, but I find the idea of crazy women stalking and harassing, say, Shatner and Nimoy because they're certain they're a secret gay couple and wants them to come out of the closet absolutely hilarious.

And I thought weeb shippers were insane.

1  Illyana_Rasputin 2017-08-25

Tot not gay

1  fallingandflying 2017-08-25

Aren't they both too old for this shit. Picard with his look at me I'm progressive virtue singing and Shatner with the twitter fights. You grown ass man do something useful with your day.

1  kermit_was_right 2017-08-25

The point of being old and (mostly) retired is that you don't have to do anything useful with your day.

1  Ultrashitpost 2017-08-25

Don't let the pressure get to you, /u/williamshatner, you were entirely in the right.
