This is so fucking embarrassing. I’m just waiting here for people to finally open their eyes and see this war for what it is, but with beloved actors like Hamill committing to this shit as hard as they can I feel it’s almost futile to have hope. But I’m still trudging on.
Saved for future reference. Excellent breakdown
Elaborating about the Ungern-Sternberg part because it’s seriously peculiar: i read multiple time how libs especially want to point out and brag about Amidala wacky headdress choice, that it is based on the last queen of Mongolia, a wife of Bogd Khan, and the Bogd Khan regime was propped up by the Bloody Baron Roman himself.
And while the actual choice by movie crew might be based solely on striking aesthetics, but the lib journos waste no opportunity to bash the commies, especially that anticommunism is weird in SW universe, where there is no communism.
Therefore the face of Naboo govt is this one:
Doesn’t it push individualism as the go-to ideology, as most western fiction does?
Yes, the center-left radical liberalism. With the real neoliberalism clearly visible behind it, some materials even straight point that out, unfortunately the conclusion is always “we need to fix the system by putting good people there” and “more liberalism”.
I believe in legends there was a prospering collectivist planet, later destroyed by yuuzhan-vongs
Ithor i think? Highly democratic and collectivist environmentalists though they also had at least one huge monopolistic corporation and held a republic near monopoly for advanced terraforming techniques and were the best experts in nature reclamation techniques.
Not even space fantasy is allowed to not have conglomerates and corporations
Yeah because Force forbid people can have any other way of social organisation. Considering Ithorian culture this one would probably be a co-op, though it’s not specified anywhere.
I was thinking about Tynna
Oh them. They weren’t destroyed, though i guess Yuuzhans did their eco devastation and genocide there as usual.
Also they weren’t communist, but nordic succdem at best. They were part of Corporate Sector, the most scummy genocidal capitalist blight on the galaxy, their good lifestyle was build on imperialism and exploitation of others.
Oh, I thought they were prosperous thanks to the important trading route.
Yeah, but that route was overflowing with blood money.
