Maybe they love Star Wars, but they root for the Empire
You’ll also find fans of The Witcher who are racist, like they didn’t even understand the basic concept of this lore.
Comment on In Andor, the real world political parallels are impossible to ignore

The number of Star wars bumper stickers sharing real estate with the pro fascist party ones I see…say otherwise

Probably just too ignorant to see it. Just like all those stupid cops wearing Punisher badges (which was hilariously represented in the latest Daredevil season).

So, like I said, not impossible to ignore.

Do you think they really aren’t aware of the hypocrisy? Hypocrisy is their super power. They can sit through sermons every Sunday for 50 years about loving your neighbors and taking care of the poor, and then gleefully cheer on a homeless camp being violently dismantled. They know they’re the empire, they just understand that the optics are better, and they get more emotional satisfaction by pretending they’re the rebellion.

I don’t think most of them have the media literacy (or literacy in general) to make those connections. Every thought is bouncing around isolated in there.
