Star Wars and its consequences...

For my own sanity, I refuse to believe this is not a bit.

It’s a bit. Checked the guy's posting history. Here’s another banger:

- Thank you for your through provoking response. I have not considered the existence Air People (Aetherocracies ). I will continue not to.
  incredible
- Anyway, while I was explaining my point she rudely hits me with the Thalassocratic stare (Sea person stare)
- Apparently geopolitics follows the plot of the 3rd gen pokemon games.
- Good to know.

I (32M) am a researcher in international development, and made a post last week about Joe Biden being a Jedi, and unfortunately I dont think a lot of people agreed. However this is okay. Academic disagreement is really important to having a lively debate about Global (Galactic) Politics.

I also have a change of heart. Much like Ben Kenobi, I have a mentor. Professor Ballard and I had a lively discussion on this topic. Continuing with the aid (force) debate, I think that we can look at it like lightside (aid to Israel from the Global Elite (Jedi Council)) and darkside (aid to Hamas from the Dark forces(Witches of Dathomir)). This analytical framework has a lot of explanatory power, and really aids in constructing a foundation for understanding Regional Politics.

Even though Joe Biden is a "Catholic", I know he supports Judaism (Jediism) in the Middle East (Tatooine). When Air Force One (Warp Speed) landed in Tel Aviv (Alderaan), I really thought there was a new hope for a different ending for Israel than there was for Alderaan. If we flip the theoretical framework around, we may see that the structural threats to Israel have similar plans for Alderaan as Abu Obaida of the Al-Qassam Brigade (Darth Vader and Stormtroopers), even though they are Muslims, unlike Vader who is a Sith.

What do you guys think? It is important to understand our world through the lenses of theory. In this case, Star Wars.

We've got a poster here folks
aid to Hamas from the Dark forces(Witches of Dathomir)

I was desperately trying to find a way to view deleted reddit posts, but couldn't figure out a way to make it work. I must know what the idea was.
- Change the domain from "www.reddit" to "reveddit" -- note that you have to remove the www. subdomain while you're at it. That will work if the post/comment was indexed before being removed, and only if it was removed by a mod or admin. Self-deleted stuff is gone forever.
- I don't know how I know this but it was definitely George Floyd

This is a bit, right?

aid (The Force)

This is 100% a bit. Not a great one but definitely a bit.

One must hope
- you mean a new hope ???

Hamas (Empire)

...

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood.

That one always confused me. Like, there is no good amount of evil, right? But people all across popular media prattle on about evil being necessary as though it makes any sense.
- I think they had to retcon the dark side philosophically because of the whole balance thing. In the original trilogy it seemed more like the dark side was just fear and anger and hate. In the prequels they added stuff like passion and ambition, which are good emotions in moderation.
- You can largely blame Disney for that one. Lucas has been extremely explicit and direct that the dark side and the sith are a corrupting influence on the natural balance of the force and the universe the Jedi serve.
  Anakin's entire fall was a decision to place his own selfish desires over his greater roll and duty as the chosen one and hence: it would forever dominate his destiny. Hence it took a supreme act of selflessness and of sacrifice to bring the force back into balance.
  People got confused because "well guess balance can only mean equal parts light and dark" and Disney just rolled with it.
- Luke is the chosen one who brings balance to the force by getting rid of vader and the emperor. People are just bad at media.

Getting that degree in advanced gusano studies

Wrong. The Luke Skywalker parallel is some old Vietnamese veteran who merced US soldiers during the war and was instrumental in bringing down some US base.

They do this with every media they like, but at least this is a bit

Media literacy is dead

remember when the US went to Vietnam to blow up the death star?

when your understanding of politics is based on vibes.

it would make far more sense to call Russia the empire.

Idk, that seems equally contrived. Look at the amount of civilian casualties from almost two years of war in Ukraine and compare it to one month of Israel bombing Palestine.
Russia aren't good but they're not blowing up planets of civilians to make a point.
- it would also be reductive and silly but Russia is at least a large military power with vast resources which makes more sense as a comparisson

The best part is how he misrepresents what happens in the movie lol this guy's awesome

When you're too busy to read another book so you watch a movie instead.

Harry Potter is a lib's favorite book, Star Wars is a lib's favorite movie.
What is a lib's favorite video game? (Hard mode: It has to be a franchise that originated as a video game.)
- Hey now don't put star wars in the same trash bin as terf wizard academy. It clearly states that getting all your buds together and doing terrorism against the lawful government is good, and that liberal democracy inevitably decays in to fascism.
- Obviously Call of Duty given how much it's funded by the US military. Alternatively Halo since the UNSC is literally a fascist state squashing communists in the expanded lore (and briefly mentioned in Reach) but the games present them as our heroic troops and le badass Master Chief.
- I don't know, but I'd guess it's something they've failed to understand the meaning of.
- Hogwarts: Fallen Order with the EA season pass that gives you free lootboxes

Let's hope the zionist entity ends up the same way Alderaan does.

More hoping for death star end tbh, alderaan isn't a good parallel
If God wills it.

tbf mark hamil is unironically like this.

I didn't think we were going to need a media literacy

but it is clear we need a media literacy

Especially since Lucas explicitly said that the Empire is the US and the rebellion are the Vietnamese communists.

Luke Skywalker never sent The Force to Alderaan. And also Tatooine is the middle east which would mean Alderaan is now on Tatooine? Balancing the force is about balancing power iron Tatooine? Did Leia fulfill the prequel prophecy by killing Jabba the Hutt then? Has this dude seen Star Wars?
