Meanwhile in the rest of Star Wars the Empire was pretty much just is Big Powerful Evil For The Sake Of Evil Guys + Mindless obedient human puppets.

If you think Star Wars does it bad - which I’m not entirely disagreeing with you on - dear god never watch Rebel Moon

Single worst piece of scifi I’ve ever seen in my life, and I’ve seen so much scifi. I watched all of Dark Matter for some reason, and Rebel Moon is so much worse. Why did they give the Big Evil Fascist a Fascist Shillelagh? I don’t fuckin know man it’s the worst movie ever.

Guess I misunderstood “sticking with it” then, sorry

Refusing to vote for pro-genocide, pro-homeless-persecution candidates isn’t “perfection”, it’s basic human empathy. I could probably give a pass on the other points for political purposes.

Absolutely. Democrats support genocide and (unless a Republican is in charge) support ICE. That’s not a “lesser evil”… it also isn’t even quantifiably a lesser measure of dead bodies, if that’s all you care about for some reason.

The DNC is where progressive movements go to die. It cannot be reformed.

The courts already allowed DNC to rig their primaries, I bet they’ll keep up the theater. Might as well.

“We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,” DNC’s lawyer Bruce Spiva told a Florida court.

Unless you mean Trump. Probably you mean Trump. Last time he tried stealing the country (before getting elected again wtf) the military seemed ready to intervene. Wonder if that’d happen now.

He vetoed legal psychedelics, unemployment pay for striking workers, repeatedly ignored COVID restrictions, maintained a relationship with AIPAC, and did photo ops throwing out the only possessions of homeless people.
