More that I'm making an observation. I don't pull the lever for the left or the right.
Anywho, I doubt that the aha thinks they made a huge difference by publicly announcing their split. It was still something that they felt compelled to do, however small. The journey of a thousand steps, and all that happy nonsense. No one tackled dawkins to the ground and took a thing from him, either, so.....
OTOH, the thing that the aha is concerned with, is very much an issue where a person could be tackled to the ground and have something forcibly removed from them. Like their simple human dignity, for the offense of using the wrong bathroom. The left is trying to cancel assholes - in the most cynical appraisal - the right is hoping to cancel people..in the most generous.
As a correction, everything in star trek was forced, it was a vehicle for an ideology, explicitly. The production of that show wasn;t entirely unlike the production of the aha..and what do you think gene (or, now, cbs) would have thought if william shatner started yammering about jews or homosexuals like an asshole? Just wouldn't shut up about it.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
