  2039 WW3, Russia and USA try to split Europe among themselves.

    2039 seems awfully optimistic. Both because it expects that the USA and Russia will still be around by then, and second: that it will take that long for them to try it

      What would he be if not fascist? The great slumbering old one who will teach us new ways to sin that leads to our destruction?

  Poe Dameron is my hero… while everyone else was debating how the bad thing happened, he’s the guy that’s just figuring out how to fight against it.

  Peeople just didn’t appreciate the genius of JJ Abrams… pretty much every reason why people fall to fascism are in the two Star Wars movies he made. Palpatine obviously represents fascism, yet people whine about Palpatine returning not being explained.

    So I was wrong when I was mad about Rey suddenly being a princess? How no one can come from nothing and become great? This fucking weird American fascination with monarchy?

      You joke but he did trick Disney into turning Star Wars into a warning that liberalism will always create the conditions required for fascism.

    Didn’t they show the Sith cloning facility and shit

    • SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yup, and he also said he had powers some would consider unnatural… which is a reference to have dark side powers over life and death. Also some rebels mentioned cloning and magic as possible explanations (re-iterating it for people that didn’t get the references) before Poe interrupted them to focus everyone on doing something.

  The USA is hardly united. Might not have as much strength as it things for external affairs, since it’s too busy shooting itself in the foot.
