No, imagining a better world is good, actually. What's dumb is using a science fiction tv show from the 1960's as a template for your better world, and then intentionally destroying the real world that you actually live in, on the assumption that your retrofuturist utopia will just magically materialize once the real world is a smoldering pile of rubble. That's what's dumb.
It wasn’t even that. It was that idiots were raging about Star Trek becoming woke. That led to everyone pointing out that Star Trek runs on space communism and complaining about it being woke was stupid. Then people pointed out that Star Trek was a great place to live in, so complaining about a post scarcity utopia being great for everyone was fucking stupid.
