Where are you going with this? There's a lot of directions you could take this meme and like half of them are problematic.

The very real implication is that Anakin is an online conspiracy theorist who generally always arrives at the conclusion that Jewish people control the world.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I didn't even consider the Jews being to blame. That's such an incredibly stupid take I forget it exists until I see it again.

You should piss off both sides..

"Jews control the world, as they should!"

[–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know a thing about Jewish culture But tbh I'd be down for a change of pace

Probably better then what ever we got going on here

Ah, the Bibi Pill.

Thats the point. Hence why votes are mixed. Engage bait is the point, and we both fell for it

I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 13 points 2 years ago

Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.

My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.
