The worst is when they compare the DNC to the rebels, when Lucas himself said the rebels were basically the Viet Cong.
Libs think Trump vs. Harris was like Leia vs Darth Vader when in reality it was more like Darth Vader vs Palpatine.
Bingo.
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.
Yep, that’s literally what it is.
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.
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.
The thing is that the rebels were (mostly) white, and removing the racial lens allowed Americans to see that a struggle like that of colonized people against their oppressors was obviously correct. But it also means they can’t connect the rebels to real world conflicts, because the oppressed people are generally not white, and so it’s understood through a racial lens.
My favourite one (it happens a lot in the UK and I assume in other places too) is when people say things like “I support the cause but the protest is really disruptive.”
Like no shit, that’s the entire point of a protest. They also sometimes complain about strikes being inconvenient for them. Oh, is this strike illustrating to you why this service is essential and it would be bad if it went away?
One time when I used to be on reddit I had an argument with someone who was against a climate protest because it could have blocked an ambulance and gotten someone killed. But this was after the protest had already happened and that had not occurred. So you don’t support it because of a hypothetical disaster that you just made up, that already didn’t happen? People, man
The classic British response to protests is “Blocking the roads hurts the economy. It’s terrorism.”
This annoys me to no end…
Liberals pissing and moaning about being 2 minute late to brunch because some people with convictions are peacefully standing in the road.
Meanwhile they can’t even fathom the type of revolution that western society actually needs…
Libs watch movies about oppressed or colonized minorities (like in Frozen 2 or total recall) and then side with the colonizers or oppressors in real life
Self preservation I guess
Deeply unserious people.
How about Easterners? Every foreign rebellion is a fight against pure evil, whereas every domestic rebellion is backed by capitalism?
oh look another opinion over from lobotomy.world
