The worst is when they compare the DNC to the rebels, when Lucas himself said the rebels were basically the Viet Cong.
It's like that old meme about how Luke is a desert farmer who is given weapons and radicalized by a bearded man in a cave, then goes off to a militia training camp and eventually blows up a government installation.
When Luke joins the rebels against the Empire because his people were murdered.
Liberals: 🥰
When a Palestinian kid joins Hamas against the Empire because his people were murdered.
Liberals: 🤬
They never say: "If you don't like how the resistance operates, why don't you join it and try to change it from the inside?"
Noooo that only applies to electoral theater.
Yep, that's literally what it is.
I've literally never noticed before that Obi-Wan had a beard.
Libs think Trump vs. Harris was like Leia vs Darth Vader when in reality it was more like Darth Vader vs Palpatine.
Bingo.
ugh I genuinely, humanely, passionately hate those people. My and my wife have been receiving calls from her friends to announce that one is now a widow, now got her parents bombed with white phosphorus, that friends were lost, and so on.
Meanwhile, these awful people were making their fictional reference like if it was a fucking videogame.
So many of these people will play this little game where they pretend to be reluctant, like they care just as much as we do, but as much as it tears them up inside, they'll make the "rational" choice for the "lesser genocide."
Then, as soon as the leftists were out of the room, they dropped the facade and started talking about how great and wonderful Harris is and how they couldn't think of a single reason to dislike her. This wasn't the only post like that that got 1000+ upvotes, despite Lemmy being full of "reluctant" Harris voters.
A part of me wishes they'd just tell us straight up that they don't give a shit.
this seemed too fantastical so i had to look it up and even gemini says so. lol
Yep, he said it on camera. Even said he was jealous of the soviet filmmakers for not being beholden to the profit motive.
George Lucas be like
He def had more liberal tendencies, but at least could recognize material reality.
Oh yeah for sure, I was just being silly.
The interviewer was trying put words in his mouth but then George corrected him. Mujahideen and Al qaeda were both US funded terror groups. Then he tried to shift the blame of the crimes of the American empire solely on to the British Empire and Lucas again corrected him. 😂 Astroturfer ass interviewer!

yet another example of truth in plain sight but most people just don't know...
i'd sooner believe a random commenter than ai hallucinations, why on earth would that crap increase your confidence?
Especially when the English-language corpora used to train LLMs are virtually exclusively anti-communist.
Anything to cope, and bury rebellion assent
When progress and socialism is on the rise, libs will side with the fascists to stop its rise. Even so called moderates are to impede with progress.
Liberalism and fascism are rooted in the same base characteristics, after all.
Indeed. The only real difference is the smile on the face of the liberal as they step on your head as you're drowning.
