It is possible that some writer on “Strange New Worlds” might have slipped in some non-leftist messaging. Personally I believe that the more likely explanation is that this was meant to smear the right, but due to the current-day Star Trek writers being lazy and none too bright, they screwed it up.
In short: in the premier episode of SNW, Captain Pike uses some January 6 footage to show how Earth walked into World War III, with the protests leading to the Eugenics Wars, and then to WWIII. Buuuuuuuut… Pike referred to the Jan 6 footage as a “fight for freedom.”
Hmmm. Pike’s not wrong there.
Another good point: “That’s why I watch a show set in the future, to watch video from last year.”
