On Thursday, news spread that Stewart – who was best known for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” franchise – had died at the age of 86 following a battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia. That led to an outpouring of messages about the actor, including one from President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy.
“One of the most impactful actors in the history of film, television and theater,” Miller wrote on social media.
Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as a teenager opposite Stewart, did not care for Miller – whose politics and ideals were in direct conflict with Stewart’s own – speaking out about his late co-star. And so, he fired back at the White House staffer on his Threads account.
“Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain’s name out of your f–king Nazi mouth,” he wrote. “He despised you, and everything you stand for.”
Shut him up, Wesley!
Shut up, Stephen.
DO NOT shut up, Wesley!
I’ll upvote this every time I see it
Hell Yeah, Will!
Speak up Wesley
Star Trek was about how much better were could be if we were just a little bit better than how we are. How do the people who want things to be much worse not see that?
Most of them are college educated, too. Part of the reason I’m fine with a diploma from public school. College doesn’t necessarily make people better, or smarter. But it’s so expensive. It does seem to bring shitty people together, though.

??? I assume your argument is that the maga crowd wants to make things worse… But trump (historically) has killed it with people who have a high school diploma or less. College educated folks break heavily Democrat.
Those people don’t see it as worse. They see it as “if we can get back to these old times, things would be better!” But what they forget to add is “for me!”
They want oppression for others because it means they are on top.
Yeah it blows my mind the people who talk about how much better things were in the 60s or 70s, but leave out the portion how it was only good if you were white and weren’t aware of the atrocities to minorities, women being second class citizens, the whole world smelling like an ashtray…
This, my friends, is how it is said properly.
Preach.
calling Trump’s crew a Nazi when they literally got a prize for supporting Israel (country full of jews)
Yeah, how dare he call them Nazis?! They are simply a crew of innocent white supremacists who use Nazi rhetoric, praise neo-Nazis, read and admire Nazi literature, and throw Nazi salutes. Where could he have possibly got the idea that they’re Nazis?
I don’t know how you could be a lemmy user and still this ignorant of israel’s politics
supporting a genocide is very nazi coded
The same Israelis that are doing their own Holocaust to the Palestinians?
Yeah, you can shove that fucking award right up your fucking arse!lol. Idiot.
Shut up, Wesley!
(Patrick Stewart didn’t call Rs “Nazis”, because he wasn’t dumb. Patrick Stewart didn’t ever claim to speak for the cast and crew of STNG, because he wasn’t dumb. Be like Patrick Stewart… not Wesley)
This is the most downvotes I have ever seen on Lemmy.
Congrats.
You’re a shitty person
Pretty sure Wil Wheaton knew more of lifelong committed socialist Patrick Stewart’s thoughts on Nazis than some internet random.
activating blocking beam.
Which part of them being Nazis do you disagree with?
What a terrible take.
Oh its the guy with all the terrible takes.
I mean, the volume and consistency is really quite impressive.
I cannot comprehend why a person like that would stay here, do they just like being dunked on or relish being antagonistic? It’s just baffling
Both. I’ve met people like this. They do not know how to interface with other people in an agreeable way without being contrarian or contentious. They’re mentally ill and antisocial.
Humiliation fetish?
we don’t kink shame around here unless it’s LT Broccoli.
Listen, we’re not kinkshaming. We’re just kinkasking.
Respectfully, keep Sir Stewart’s lines out of your fucking mouth.
Disrespectfully, they should keep their fucking Nazi mouths shut.
ShutSpeak up, Wesley!Ftfy
Not to you, no. But you have no evidence that he didn’t use that word directly in conversation with Wil Wheaton. In fact, evidence points towards Stewart having a strong dislike for the nazis in question.
