    I feel like calling someone a storm trooper makes them seem not that bad because the ones in star wars were pretty chill. Those movies did not do a good job of making them look evil.

      they’re named after the nazi ones and are part of a nazi/US-coded evil empire.

      i guess we could say israeli sturmabteilung but i’d guess even fewer people know what that refers to untranslated and i’m not here trying to learn how to pronounce it.
