Ah ha! The ai has depicted you as the blue-haired crying feminist and me as the republican chad!

Looks like is just anti-war and not a dog of America after all /s

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Empire Did Nothing Wrong memes and associated interpretations of Star Wars (cough palpatine was AKTUALLY preparing for the yuzang vong cough) are a result of people making the connection that the Empire = America but being unable to admit to or acknowledge America’s many crimes around the world, so they decide that the Empire was actually cool and based for napalming Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen, and Alderaan was harbouring terrorists so they git what was coming to them

Actually I’m just going to paste a previous comment of mine here since there’s no point t it typing it out all over again:

Empire did nothing wrong memes are literally just a pipeline to fash ideology. I would say I don’t understand why people began to sympathize with the obviously fascist stand in that is the empire, but I have a theory.

The empire, especially in the Lucas films, represents the American empire and their post-ww2 imperialist projects. Meanwhile, the rebels represent anti-imperialist fighters. In A New Hope, we see how the imperialist occupiers create or expand opposition to themselves through their actions. Luke at the beginning of the movie still dreams of going off to the imperial academy and joining the empire. However, reality ensues and he experiences firsthand violent oppression at the hands of the empire, losing his family and home in a napalm bombing drone strike stormtrooper attack. This of course begins his radicalization and causes him to commit himself to combat the empire.

Now of course this introduces a contradiction into the mind of the average american viewer. On one hand, it is obvious why Luke dedicates himself to the destruction of the empire, it is the force that murders his family and countless others (multiple american invasions Alderaan). However, this also causes the average american to think about why people around the earth hate america, and if it could be related to the decades of american military actions around the globe. For some, this may be the wake up call that causes them to think “hey, are we the baddies?”. For others, they have to go in the opposite direction. The Empire’s actions are America’s actions, and america can’t be the bad guy so the Empire can’t be the bad guy! There must be more nuance™ to this empire who’s stormtroopers murder an innocent farming family and later annihilate a planet.

Or they’re just fash that loves the mainstream acceptability of fascist inspired symbolism

Damn right I’m a richist

I’ll never understand how g*mers aren’t radical anti-capitalists

Armoured vehicles donated to Ukraine by Canada not suitable for driving off road

Lmao what a joke, the MIC can’t even make an off road vehicle anymore. They break down when you try to take them cross country. Good thing all war takes place on paved roads then right?

and :reddit-logo: posters were blaming “ghost fishing fleets from china” :desolate:

Charges dropped against Ontario pigs that killed toddler

They were pursuing a father that kidnapped his kid, they knew the kid was in the vehicle, and the opened fire anyway and killed both of them. Of course the charges were dropped. KKKlanada cops are just as bad as anywhere else

Reaper, a USAF drone pilot, provides air support from a General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper to a US Army Delta Force team on the ground in the Philippines. After a mishap, Kinney, a young JTAC officer attached to the Delta Force team finds himself part of an extraction team relying only on Reaper’s remote air support.

JFC it’s a movie lionizing fucking drone pilots and operators. Also they named him after the fucking drone, they couldn’t be even a little more creative?

Those articles they wrote about how they didn’t have access to airstrikes to “shape the battlefield”, being unable to just call in a medivac helicopter for every stubbed toe, being told to hold a trench to the death instead of going on special operations missions, and otherwise finding out that war is actually dangerous when your opponent can fight back were
