MAGA Trekkies and Their Meritocracy Myth - Steve Shives

[TexasTowelie]

Steve critiques right-wing Star Trek fans, particularly Elon Musk and Stephen Miller, for their negative reactions to the diversity in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Steve argues that their complaints—about fat characters, glasses, and people of color—are rooted in bigotry, not genuine critique. They highlight that these individuals project their own prejudices onto the show, failing to recognize that Star Trek’s diverse cast reflects its utopian vision of a post-racial, inclusive future.

Steve also notes that right-wing figures see themselves in Star Trek’s villains—such as bigoted officers, fascist leaders, and conspiracy theorists—because they identify with the idea of being the "hero" in a story, even when they are clearly the antagonists. Ultimately, Steve's video argues that the backlash stems from a lack of comprehension and a deep-seated desire to maintain a meritocratic fantasy where only "deserving" people succeed.
