STRIVING TO BE BETTER AT WHAT MOTHERFUCKER, WE’RE DOING A GENOCIDE RIGHT NOW
“I’d like to see those people replace it with a utopia without any problematic means”
Regardless of the fact that the rebellion didn’t replace the empire with a utopia, only resurrected the bourgeouis parliamentary republic that created the empire and would end up collapsing in like 30 years…
They also did incredibly violent “problematic” acts, especially in this show. Did this dipshit actually watch it?
Real
energy
and would end up collapsing in like 30 years…
the books had the new republic take a fashy turn that kinda never got fully resolved with darth [spoiler] and was way more interesting than the shitty movies other than the part where the books also started having the dumbest possible shit from the clone wars show.

The only book I read from this period was the one about princess Leia. And I wasn’t really a leftist at the time, but it seems like a very clear allegory to postwar Europe, or Reconstruction, because of the knowing inclusion of imperial sympathizers in the Senate and the feckless inability (perhaps intentional, but I don’t entirely remember) of their liberal institutions to root it out. By the end of the new republic, the reactionaries were openly displaying imperial artifacts and symbols in their offices and homes, just out of “curiosity” of course.
Episode 9 and somehow palpatine returning was the worst shit they ever could have written.

th- they downvoted m-me
I hate how people always go “waaah waaah you just want a utopia!!!”
It’s so fucking pathetic

Media literacy is one of the must underrated skills in navigating this liberal hellscape.
You know how the first thing communists usually do is teach people how to read and write? We’re gonna have to do that but for satire
This is called a non-fiction book. It’s like Hunger Games, but written for big kids.
The hunger games is great agitprop when teaching children how to read at higher grade levels, could probably work with semi literate adults too
yeah, you just follow it up with blackshirts and reds
They don’t actually read.
Absolutely. Same with news media, fiction, etc.
And for reading and writing.
the lack of media literacy is an underrated defense mechanism
Fair, lol
We just need to get rid of Palpatine and get Thrawn in there, he’s smart
I personally support Tarkin, he’s the moderate we need over Vader.
He's the *good* fascist!
I think this goes deeper than media illiteracy. This looks like media illiteracy plus
Advanced media illiteracy
as always, the job of the reddit mod is to as aggressively as possible limit, punish, and censor for antiamerikkkan sentiments.
This post is devolving into an anti American attack
My brother in Christ, Lucas himself specified that the Empire was to represent the literal US. The show you are moderating a subreddit for is about people involved in an insurrection against it.
If
so good, why didn’t they defeat the Nazis and flew the stars and stripes over the reichstag?
Hmm but they did?
Ah yes, the Netflix version of WWII
The power of Hollywood revisionism
That’s just a fraction of what a Call of Duty game can do
@Grok is that true?
I joined the rebellion
Holy shit what a clown lmao
Why did he make the tattoo look like an ugly-ass patch if he didn’t intend to evoke the military, then? Obvious backpedaling is obvious.
embroidery/sewn on patch tattoos are a thing, if u google it they are almost always pop culture slop
speculating here but as an aesthetic trend, it feels like an outgrowth of the millennial lib/redditor cooptation of the metal/crust battle jacket (imagine a battle jacket covered with like ricky morty and NASA patches)
embroidery/sewn on patch tattoos are a thing
gross
I have nothing against tattoos. There are lots of beautiful and meaningful tattoos out there. But no other art form so reliably turns out such an impressive volume of utterly hideous shite. Tattoos are a magnet for every bad instinct imaginable: clumsy technique, poor taste, terrible judgement and hideous political ideologies.
somewhere else he says he’s a vet that joined the military under fucking Bush jr’s 2nd term, but yeah that was good and only now is america the bad guys
epitome of posting through it.
Millions of Iraqis murdered “ah the good ole days”
last two brain cells got fried in the desert
mf watched andor and thought “woah empire is so cool”
Yeah Lucas was quite blunt that the empire was the USA and the rebels where the viet cong.
I once had a coworker. He was a nice, friendly and intelligent guy. He was also a massive Star Wars fan, he would decorate his desk with Star Wars memorabilia, he bought an expensive Darth Vader costume for a company costume party. You would expect him to know everything three is to know about the damn thing.
He had never heard anything about the rebels being the Viet Cong. In fact he had never heard about the Viet Cong. It was all just consumerist apolitical slop to him.
I suspect there are many people like him. People do not want their favourite IP to be “tainted” by real-world political connections that might make someone mad. They want the world to be a safe soft play area where all you have to have to disagree with people about is whether one serving of slop is better than the other.
An adult who didn’t know about the Vietnam War?
A well-educated professional adult nonetheless.
I read somewhere once that he hated his rich neighbors so he bought a bunch of houses and gave them away to poor people to annoy them
i dunno if this is true but i hope it is
He did iirc, I remember red letter media mentioning it (as a bad thing though).
from what I heard he wanted to expand Skywalker Ranch and the county wouldn’t let him, so he managed a way to make the parcel public housing out of spite. but hey good things for petty reasons I will still approve
oh that’s less cool but public housing is public housing

I wished Saw Gerrera was real to see this shit and put down this lib.
Saw Gerrera did nothing wrong
At least most of the comments are dragging them
How actually devoid of thought do you have to be to get something like this lmao
Like cops with Punisher tats
Honestly I think this is worse than cops with punisher tats. That has a perverse consistency, that cops should be state-sanctioned and state-funded vigilantes but without state-oversight. It’s just the state violence version of the conservative mindset that the regulatory state exists for thee not for me.
This, this is just “the rebellion gives me the warm and fuzzies and American nationalism gives me the warm and fuzzies so they must be the same.” It’s all vibes zero analysis.
What do you think the odds are of him comparing the Empire to Russia or China?
Man, looking through his post history I’m getting pure ass normie
vibes. Like this is someone who hasn’t had a consciously political thought in decades. So like, if either Russia, but not in a neurotic lib Russiagate way, he just really liked The Hunt for Red October and the Russians were the bad guys in that one.
After season 2, a lot higher. People keep drawing Gorhman-maidan connections that were likely intentional by lib writers
Amerikkka is the most powerful Empire in history, whose astronomical military budget is without peer, that is constantly bombing poor brown folks, is somehow the Rebel faction in the Star Wars universe? Chuds really are dense.
why does the patch have pubes?
Same reason the stripes don’t line up
It’s shitty
I thought it was a cover-up at first and then i realized no, its just a shitty design. The patch by itself isn’t great but the fucking ‘threads’ coming out of it are so terrible.
This feels like something you force someone to get on a lost bet
And yet, still a slightly better design than what that got actually got permanently etched into his skin

Not sure what’s worse, people who think America is the rebellion or Americans who unironically say “the Empire did nothing wrong”. At least the latter are being honest I guess.
