I said the real Kirk.
There can only be one!
Mirror Kirk is the real one
He'd go far in the current political climate.
What's sad is his parents made his middle name James, like they had hope for him to be a beacon for humanity... as opposed to oppression.
Him not removing/changing the James part of his name means he either didn't care or was trying to be ironic. Or completely missed the point of Star Trek. Or likely had never watched an episode of the original Star Trek. Jim Kirk is known for being a badass, like Sisko, but Kirk is easily as thoughtful as Picard. But that isn't what he's known for.
Plenty of chuds watch star trek and simply do not see the philosophical lessons or social commentary.

also his middle name is Tiberius.
I always preferred Picard anyway
