The worst is when they compare the DNC to the rebels, when Lucas himself said the rebels were basically the Viet Cong.
Anything to cope, and bury rebellion assent
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.
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.
Yep, that's literally what it is.
I've literally never noticed before that Obi-Wan had a beard.

The interviewer was trying put words in his mouth but then George corrected him. Mujahideen and Al qaeda were both US funded terror groups. Then he tried to shift the blame of the crimes of the American empire solely on to the British Empire and Lucas again corrected him. 😂 Astroturfer ass interviewer!

Oh yeah for sure, I was just being silly.
i'd sooner believe a random commenter than ai hallucinations, why on earth would that crap increase your confidence?
Especially when the English-language corpora used to train LLMs are virtually exclusively anti-communist.
