“You know what would be really interesting to do? Don’t denounce me as a Stalinist but, for example – it’s my old temptation – to rewrote Star Wars… presenting Palpatine and Darth Vader as good progressive egalitarian centralist fighting reactionary feudalist, all the Jedi bullshit. It would tell a completely different story, from the others point. What do they [Jedi] stand for? All that, ‘Republic’, what strange of Republic is when you have a Princess Leila, knights, kings and so on? No, Palpatine the Emperor and Darth Vader, they are - my god - progressive Bonapartist revolutionaries trying to get rid of the old world.”

But tbh I think that if we take the original trilogy, the Rebels are cleary fighting a reactionary imperialist power, ie. an analogy to the Vietnam war

Why did they put eyeliner on evil Kirk 😳

So I'm watching TOS for the first time... (have alreay watched all show from TNG to DISC quite a while ago and yes, my fav is DS9 followed by TNG) and have just started "The Enemy Within"
Idk why but my shitpost-ridden brain instantly went "wait... d-did they make Kirk hot?"
that's it, that's the post. It's mostly a /hj (I hope (?))
(just has the vibe of queercoding a villain having the opposite effect)
EDIT: I have now seen the following sexual assault scene, wtf

However, expending all your energy and agitprop potential on getting ppl to vote for the good cop instead of the bad cop, still legitimizes the dictatorship of capital (as well as it's sham democracies). It makes it seem like voting could solve systemic problems, instead of it just playing the game of late-stage capitalism. Anywayy.... that's my take (so probably incorrect)
This thing is a one-time thing tho, there is actually a sibling community for this kind of stuff: !actualsocialism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Today's "Left"
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
If anyone has a better way of using alts on mobile lemmy or just tips on doing/writing them in general, please share
ALT:
Top panel:
MAGA person saying: "Socialism failure!!! Look at Vuvuzuela, Indonesia, France, and California!"
Bernie person saying: "Actually, socialism is when police, military, free college and healthcare. Look at Scandinavia"
"I love Xi" person saying: "You're both wrong. China is the best example of 21st century socialism. Their billionaires are helping the working class"
Bottom panel:
distraught person with a red bleeding head and red shirt
"Capitalism is the driver of innovation"

The best achievable option (imho) would be one socialist republic - of equal peoples - on the soil of Palestine
uuu time for one of my fav sentences lul
The worst thing the Bolsheviks did was give Ayn Raynd an education
btw here is a step by step guide to Ayn Raynd's life:
1: be born into obscene wealth
2: be 12, a civil war breaks out, flee to white-controlled crimea
3: the reds win, nationalise the fathers pharmacy
3.5: the reds win, without that she would have never seen a university from the inside
4: be 16 and among the first women to go to university
7: fuck off to the US to whine and cry
8: write incoherent, economically completely unfeasible, idealist defense of a hypothetical capitalism
9: profit
(this is shamelessly copied from a Reddit comment)
Yes of course and eating trash is better than eating shit
I'm not putting my mental health on the line by acutally being on 4chan, there are some good memes and shitpost on there tho. So this form of filter strikes a good balance
US-based meaning 3 letter agencies can get your data without a court order and that you aren't protected by the GDPR if you don't live in the EU
better than the absolutely deranged MM/DD/YYYY and imo the best when it comes to international communication
the one of (neo)liberalism. An economic state which is accepted and perpetuated by virtually all sides of the culture war
I hate good roads/public transportation/healthcare/education/parks! How dare they take my money for that
