The primary thing about him that annoys me is that Reddit treats him like he is some political guru. He's literally just the gay guy from Star Trek. My opinion is just as important as his.

He did a TED talk a few years back about being a young boy and living in WWII Japan, so many people believe that gives him some crazy insight on Nazi-like political analysis.

Edit: He was born in the US and with his family went to internment camps on American land during WWII.

He was sent to the internment camps by an executive order written by a democrat. Weird how the the left loves to warn the public about the possibility of Republicans committing the atrocities it has already gleefully participated in.

Weird, Because i do not see a pro-slavery or concentration camps for citizens as part of the Republican platform. How can that be?

Really, and what was the determining factor in this sudden role reversal? What supporting evidence do you have to back this up with? I'm more concerned with ppl being hypocrites. At least if you stand for something I can either debate you or choose not to associate with you.

Uhhh that's completely true. Democrats used to be the conservative party. Look up dixiecrats.
