On Thursday, news spread that Stewart – who was best known for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” franchise – had died at the age of 86 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia. That led to an outpouring of messages about the actor, including one from President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy.
“One of the most impactful actors in the history of film, television and theater,” Miller wrote on social media.
Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as a teenager opposite Stewart, did not care for Miller – whose politics and ideals were in direct conflict with Stewart’s own – speaking out about his late co-star. And so, he fired back at the White House staffer on his Threads account.
“Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain’s name out of your f–king Nazi mouth,” he wrote. “He despised you, and everything you stand for.”
Speak up Wesley
This, my friends, is how it is said properly.
Hell Yeah, Will!
DO NOT shut up, Wesley!
I’ll upvote this every time I see it
Star Trek was about how much better were could be if we were just a little bit better than how we are. How do the people who want things to be much worse not see that?
Most of them are college educated, too. Part of the reason I’m fine with a diploma from public school. College doesn’t necessarily make people better, or smarter. But it’s so expensive. It does seem to bring shitty people together, though.
Those people don’t see it as worse. They see it as “if we can get back to these old times, things would be better!” But what they forget to add is “for me!”
They want oppression for others because it means they are on top.
Yeah it blows my mind the people who talk about how much better things were in the 60s or 70s, but leave out the portion how it was only good if you were white and weren’t aware of the atrocities to minorities, women being second class citizens, the whole world smelling like an ashtray…
smelling like an ashtray
Ugh, casinos. My friend is a dealer at a local casino and makes a lot of money in tips. He was trying to entice to apply, and I almost did, untill I read the description and requirements. It listed second hand smoke exposure as one of the “responsibilities” and it reminded me of what I hate most about casinos. After a few hours my mouth tastes like an ashtray smells.
They want oppression for others because it means they are on top.
Largely because they assume everything is zero-sum. If someone else is doing better, then they must be doing worse somehow.
There’s a good article about this actually https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aem2407
It’s actually a bit more selfish than that. If someone else is doing better, and they view that someone as “beneath” them, they see it as “wasted” and whatever is making that someone better should be taken away.
Most of them are college educated, too
??? I assume your argument is that the maga crowd wants to make things worse… But trump (historically) has killed it with people who have a high school diploma or less. College educated folks break heavily Democrat.
Shut him up, Wesley!
Preach.
Now I’m not saying that Stephen Miller is a ghoul. But I have heard that ghouls are vulnerable to fire.
Naziferatu
He s jewish as well so Naziferatjew?
Shut up, Stephen.
Stephen Miller insists we do the Eugenics Wars before we start acting like TNG characters.
calling Trump’s crew a Nazi when they literally got a prize for supporting Israel (country full of jews)
I’ve been on Lemmy for 3 years now and this has got to be in the top 3 dumbest comments I’ve ever read.
it’s a bot account. looking at their comment history it’s all Spanish, except for this one little comment.
if not bot, troll.
Portuguese, not Spanish (but close enough lol). I wonder if it’s a wayward bot from Bolsonaro’s bot farm? He probably just forgot to turn one off when he fled to the US.
sees different opinion calls it idiotic
<“why do right wingers hate us so much???”
No one even mentioned the word “idiotic”. I, however, think you’re an utter fucking moron. This is probably a correct assumption, as you have to either be a complete moron, or a morally corrupt rich person to enjoy far right politics. I don’t think you’re the latter.
2+2 = 47
That’s dumb.
Why do libtards have to hurt our feefees so much??
Yeah, how dare he call them Nazis?! They are simply a crew of innocent white supremacists who use Nazi rhetoric, praise neo-Nazis, read and admire Nazi literature, and throw Nazi salutes. Where could he have possibly got the idea that they’re Nazis?
Atleast I cite where I got my points from.
I got my points from watching the news, but in the first DDG result, I found that Mehdi Hasan linked most of them, and more, in this article.
And then this:
Wow! Trump got a Prize! I’ll bet he was so happy!
The same Israelis that are doing their own Holocaust to the Palestinians?
Yeah, you can shove that fucking award right up your fucking arse!History, it would seem, is not without a sense of irony.
The Jewish survivors of the holocaust were actually shunned by the Israelis because they viewed them as weak and cowardly.
They’ve always been a bloodthirsty genocidal country.
Well, the cursing in the end does add to your point, eh? Lovely, changed my views of this world.
Anytime 👍
supporting a genocide is very nazi coded
When the genocide is of people who had time and chances to try and prevent/stop its terrorist groups, it’s a little justified, don’t you think? If I knew my country had a terrorist group and didn’t do anything about it, you’d feel somehow betrayed when my terrorists attacked your country.
…genocide… …it’s a little justified…
Wow, just, wow…
But, not surprising coming from a Trump supporter.
you can’t ‘justify’ a genocide. and a genocide targets the innocent, specifically. i could say the same thing about israel.
you can not justify the murder of a people because of “terrorism”. you sound just like the germans who justified the holocaust after WWI
I don’t know how you could be a lemmy user and still this ignorant of israel’s politics
Some right-wingers still care about their digital privacy, I guess.
Fyi. German Nazi’s targeted many groups/identities. Not just Jews.
They believed they were superior and anyone different deserved death and worse.
They believed this was divinely sanctioned. God decided the white Aryan race was the best one. Not them.
God decided they were special and should take whatever they want and murder and abuse anyone who might reproduce who wasn’t their type. Because those people aren’t like them. They don’t count.
Does that not sound like Zionist?
I mean. Literally. Exactly the same belief.
And the same violent behaviors.
Zionism is about believing Jews shouls have their own country.
What you’re describing is a far more extremist variant.
They already have Israel. They believe they deserve a large chunk of other people’s countries.
lol. Idiot.
No arguments to defend your point Still wants to call the other side idiotic
Really bigoted of you, don’t you think? Thought you social justice warriors claimed to be against bigotry.
deleted by creator
A country full of Jewish people and lead by Zionists, the latter being LOVED by Nazis as it basically fulfills their doomsday deathcult wetdreams about the middle east blowing itself up so that they can take the holy land for themselves.
Shut up, Wesley!
(Patrick Stewart didn’t call Rs “Nazis”, because he wasn’t dumb. Patrick Stewart didn’t ever claim to speak for the cast and crew of STNG, because he wasn’t dumb. Be like Patrick Stewart… not Wesley)
Pretty sure Wil Wheaton knew more of lifelong committed socialist Patrick Stewart’s thoughts on Nazis than some internet random.
What a terrible take.
Oh its the guy with all the terrible takes.
I mean, the volume and consistency is really quite impressive.
I cannot comprehend why a person like that would stay here, do they just like being dunked on or relish being antagonistic? It’s just baffling
Humiliation fetish?
we don’t kink shame around here unless it’s LT Broccoli.
Listen, we’re not kinkshaming. We’re just kinkasking.
Maybe agent provocateur?
Both. I’ve met people like this. They do not know how to interface with other people in an agreeable way without being contrarian or contentious. They’re mentally ill and antisocial.
ShutSpeak up, Wesley!Ftfy
This is the most downvotes I have ever seen on Lemmy.
Congrats.
Respectfully, keep Sir Stewart’s lines out of your fucking mouth.
Disrespectfully, they should keep their fucking Nazi mouths shut.
If the… Uh… “Rs” aren’t nazis, why nazi shaped?
Not to you, no. But you have no evidence that he didn’t use that word directly in conversation with Wil Wheaton. In fact, evidence points towards Stewart having a strong dislike for the nazis in question. (https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a31141189/patrick-stewart-star-trek-picard-interview-politics-donald-trump/)
Also, why are you even here?
Your last question .
yeah so Lemmy is mostly left and far leftist. And a few tankies sprinkled in.
Why would a centrist or right come here?
It’s surely not to find like minded people to have discussions with.
And we know the rights’ only strategy for online discourse is to spread lies. And whataboutism.
So. Based on the lie they already posted and their apparent political leaning implied by comments…
There have been a couple of right instances but I think they’re mostly gone at this point, except for hilariouschaos.
Which part of them being Nazis do you disagree with?
Patrick Stewart was a lifelong advocate for many groups. He was very vocal about this. It’s not a big secret.
He donated money. He spoke at events. Fundraised.
activating blocking beam.
You’re a shitty person
