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

somebody should make a starswar that's the events of first three movies from the perspective of empire liberal media, maybe that would punch through the illiteracy.
I’m honestly worried we’d have a bunch of libs coming away just believing the media in the show and completely missing the point lol
"wow, i never thought of it that way. Mind = Blown"
has star wars shown any type of press or media at all in their universe? that’d actually make for a good show or something
Rebels does, as did the Imperial campaign in the Rogue Squadron game. One of the characters is someone who unironicall supports the empire but wants to restore senatorial power, like the "Moderate" republican to Mon Mothma's shitlib.
Its implied she's even more of a moral void than the outright fascists who at least openly want and revel in war and bloodshed.
Rebels has things like Empire Day where there are parades etc and you see the average Imperial's apathy.
And andor has incel guy mall cop as a main character who buys the kool aid, of course
There was also the shitty battlefront 2 story mode where you play as a stormtrooper special ops lady for like 3 missions before realising that committing genocide is bad when you're told to do it to humans so defect to the rebels
Not quite what you're looking for, but I remember in that Han Solo movie that I saw a few years ago, that I reacted to how the Empire's recruitment efforts used a major key version of the Imperial March.
I love that we now have two diagetic "heroic" Imperial Marches which both do their own spin. There is the major key Solo one and the Rebels empire day one

The BLOODY ATTACK ON YAVIN by the terror group known as the Rebel Alliance has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Imperial citizens, completely unprovoked
Look I don't like Emperor Palpatine, he should step down after the Kkhhrebels are finally defeated.
we can do better than that
real NAFO libs would call them the rebelSS allianSSe or something

If you haven't seen it, Troops is a classic Star Wars fan work (pre-prequels!) that tells the story of A New Hope from the point of view of the Stormtroopers, in the form of a Cops-like reality TV episode. (CW: contains comedic depictions of police violence)
Didn't several of the people who worked on that get hired for the Prequels and other Lucasfilm projects? I know George LOVED the fan film scene so it wouldnt be strange for that to happen

Either it’s going to be serious like Nightcrawler and people think the guy hustling and spreading misinformation is based, or it’s going to be some comedy like The Office and people forget that they’re all cogs in the machine and it’s not supposed to be fun and wholesome.
