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

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

You should piss off both sides..

"Jews control the world, as they should!"

[-] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 9 months ago

Ah, the Bibi Pill.

[-] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

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

[-] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 16 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 37 points 9 months ago

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

"They're not shadowy, they do their evil out in the open."

[-] frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml 20 points 9 months ago

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

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 24 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 13 points 9 months ago

Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 13 points 9 months ago

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@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it is, that’s not a secret

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

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@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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@local106.com 3 points 9 months ago

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

[-] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

That was my interpretation

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Every damn time
