Every damn time

superduperenigma ,

Where are you going with this? There's a lot of directions you could take this meme and like half of them are problematic.

CaptainSpaceman ,

Thats the point. Hence why votes are mixed. Engage bait is the point, and we both fell for it

CommanderCloon ,

? Anakin is a tinfoil hat wearer and Padme is the reader

Spoiler alert Anakin isnt the good guy and goes on the become Darth Vader.

mrunicornman ,

Inconceivable!

Grayox OP ,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

I know right?! Kid had such a promising podracing career.

The very real implication is that Anakin is an online conspiracy theorist who generally always arrives at the conclusion that Jewish people control the world.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

I didn't even consider the Jews being to blame. That's such an incredibly stupid take I forget it exists until I see it again.

Exosus ,

You should piss off both sides..

"Jews control the world, as they should!"

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Ah, the Bibi Pill.

EvolvedTurtle ,

I don't know a thing about Jewish culture
But tbh I'd be down for a change of pace

Probably better then what ever we got going on here

frightful_hobgoblin ,

I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic

explodicle ,

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.

prettybunnys ,

Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.

chuckleslord ,

(It's almost like the United States is the empire/ old republic)

prettybunnys ,

Yeah, it is, that’s not a secret

chuckleslord ,

You have no idea how many people don't understand that. Even if you tell them, they don't get it.

("You have no idea" is used as an intensifier here. I don't know what you know. I'm neurodivergent and feel the need to clarify)

Cowbee ,

I legitimately saw someone say that they heard Star Wars was inspired by the Vietnam War, then said the fucking Empire represented the Viet Cong and Communism.

Some people legitimately can't analyze anything to save their lives.

chuckleslord ,

Well, I mean, they probably can, but team sports, ya know. We all do it, make bad things about the "other" and good things about "us". Just, not realizing that the people you stand with can do "bad", cause all humans are capable of doing "bad".

explodicle ,

You're right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.

frezik ,

Lucas seems to grasp for that interpretation, but he's not politically savvy enough or a good enough writer to pull it off. Clone Wars fixes it.

winterayars ,

That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.

LaserTurboShark69 ,

That was my interpretation

Perfide ,

Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.
