how does one even come to the conclusion that the planet-destroying opressive Empire is the good faction in Star Wars? like, at what point is there any scene that presents it as anything else than a genocidal regime? I know that conservatives usually aren’t the most media-literate people but I still can’t wrap my head around that

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
You have to start from the idea that genocide is a good thing.
Lmao I dunno its honestly so silly
Spitballing here. As a child I thought the plot of Star Wars sucked and was boring and I was just waiting for lightsaber fights. It was only as an adolescent I started paying attention to the plot at all. In my advanced age as an 800 year old adrenochrome enjoyer I am now just waiting for the lightsabers again.
Maybe they see the planet exploding and go "WOAH! AWESOME SAUCE!!" Or they see it like I did coyote and roadrunner where I'm sad because the Wile E Coyote is gonna be hungry if he can't eat. "Well yeah, they have to reign in the rebels or they can't have peace in their galaxy." If they don't listen to the plot at all, come in with an a priori agenda conditioned from before they made memories, and have an anti-intellectual stance precluding them from critical thought, they can see some wild colors for the blue curtains.
@Tastysnack@hexbear.net do you know what Dredd book he's talking about in second pic?
I think he's referring to this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35384830-be-pure-be-vigilant-behave
Nope 💀
