Billionaires have very little taxable income. We need a wealth tax.

bruh's out here advocating for genocide

$554 a month at 5% growth is $440k after 30 years. So yeah not millions.

We actually did just have our provincial election so this was confusing for me.

Why would I pay for news controlled by a billionaire? My tax money already goes towards CBC who are... probably better than WaPo.

I'm calling Israel a US military base.

These sorts of comments confuse the fuck out of me, like, who are you directing this at? A Donald trump voter? The people "expecting Kamala to dazzle them" are entirely aware that Donald trump is an incompetent lunatic. They're asking for the bare minimum from Kamala because she's the only viable option and she can't even deliver that bare minimum.

Thanks in part to the US military base in the region known as Israel perhaps?

Pretty sure OP is asking why the US gov relentlessly supports the genocide, not maga morons.

Pointing out that the prequels have the slightest hint of an interesting story does not change that they are garbage movies. All you've done is summarize the plot in vague terms that are only slightly more vague than the movies themselves. They do not "explore how an opportunistic politician can subvert democracy to create a fascist dictatorship", they barely even dip their toes in the attempt.

The prequels do not do an adequate job of establishing why the republic is vulnerable to being hijacked by a fascist dictator. They do not adequately establish how Palpatine is able to seize power. Germany was reeling from WW2 and was thus vulnerable to a charismatic dictator like Hitler. Hitler successfully used the hate and anger of german citiziens, caused by the very real suffering they were experiencing post WW1.

What the fuck happened in the prequels? There was a trade dispute, whatever that means, (it's never explained in the slightest), and so Palpatine gets appointed supreme leader or something? No suffering of average people is asserted, no populist rhetoric that gains momentum because of real suffering. Just, there's a war so we need a supreme leader and it has to be Palpatine.

The plot is completely nonsensical and I challenge you to outline Palpatines rise to power in detail. Every single character acts like a complete idiot and does nothing as Palpatine blatantly seizes power.

Not to mention the dog shit dialogue, stiff delivery, boring characters, racist caricatures, and blatant and obnoxious pandering to children.

The prequels are absolute awful movies in basically every way imaginable. Pretending they are some sort of intellectual piece of work just exposes you as an idiot or someone who hasn't watched the movies since they were 8 years old.

Sorry to be a dick but those movies are seriously fucking bad and I have issues.

If that's how you feel, ok. I'd love to hear your reasoning for why any of the prequels are better than FA.
