From what I’ve heard, Shatner is normally pretty right-wing about issues. Maybe fiscally, but not socially. Maybe I’m misremembering, or conflating his character on Boston Legal.
He was the commencement speaker at my college graduation and he talked about how society was destroying the planet. It was a real downer message but at least it wasnt maga talking points
and also, the guy is almost 100 years old now.
Any person that old with progressive views and stances is very uncommon in my book. At least the ones from now, maybe it will change when it is our turn.
He’s been critical of Trump and I’m pretty sure he defines himself as apolitical. I’m not sure where you’re finding that he’s right wing, but I’m open to being proven wrong.
He can be apolitical in public, and I wish more idiot celebrities would be. You and I don’t need to know his politics. It doesn’t help anything in the grand scheme of things.
Eh, being apolitical doesn’t mean you’re unaware of how much politics affects us. It just means it’s not a subject you’re interested in, which is perfectly acceptable.

Anybody who calls themselves apolitical doesn’t recognize how much politics affects us, and in my book, thay makes you kinda dumb.

having no interest in politics is only for the extremely priveleged, so they’re either dumb or theyre assholes
Upon further research, he seems hard-core apolitical.
I must have assumed he was like his character that he played on Boston Legal - who was clownishly right-wing.
Sorry about that improper assumption, and thanks for calling me out on it!
I appreciate you vibe checking Shatner anyway. I learned
