I am a libertarian.
That means I want a fair and equitable world. And what I mean by that is everyone is free to find the best way they can serve the needs of others, and be served in turn.
I am an anarchist.
That means I believe the best way to do that is without a state.
The Imperium of Man is infinitely more justified in-universe than the Galactic Empire could ever be.
The Imperium, at its core, seeks to preserve humanity against the innumerable material and immaterial horrors of the galaxy.
The Empire exists to serve Lightning McWrinkles.

Im sorry, but this "Le Empire Good" discourse is retarded.
They never actually cleaned up the Galaxy, they just made normal people's lives more annoying while continuing to let crime syndicates operate as long as they paid the right people.
Yeah they had a powerful military, but it never adapted to guerrilla warfare. Their leaders never had a desire to improve the welfare of the galaxy, instead they fought with each other for territory, to the point of wars within the Empire.
The Republic was weak sure, but the Empire certainly wasn't as strong as you think they are. They have shiny cool equipment, but in reality were inefficient and corrupt.

Notice how they completely miss the fact that he had not actually lost anything that he was trying to protect in this film. Until he allowed himself to be manipulated into sacrificing everyone and everything he ever knew and loved to be become a slave to a proven liar.
The prequels, at the end of the day, are about a young man trying to claim what is rightfully his. And he’s treated with suspicion, contempt, or even outright hatred because of it.
He wants skill, power, influence, order, hierarchy etc. and isn’t afraid to tell people that. He kills the guilt that he used to feel for wanting what he should have.
It’s remarkable how relatable all of this actually is for many young men. Made to feel guilt for who or what they are. Denied what is rightfully theirs by birth. Villainized by a weak, corrupted, aging Republic that has long outlived its usefulness.
Fortunately, everyone seems to be on the same page on this. We’re going to reclaim what is ours.

Moral of the story with Anakin Skywalker, O Zoomer man is this:
The more you rage against the Machine, the more the Machine makes you it's slave.
So you don't rage. You stop playing the game entirely.
You don't play the Jedi's games. You don't play the Sith's games.
You leave those Council Chambers, and you don't go to the corrupt Chancellor's office where the corrupt Jedi are launching a coup.
You take Padme and you run, and run as far away as possible.
And when the time is right, that's when you return; not because you stopped yearning, but because you yearn for your children to yearn in freedom.

Christian Nationalism is just Roman Catholic Integralism with Protestant characteristics.
It is a political movement disguised as a theological movement.
It will ultimately undermine the Gospel and prostitute the Christian faith.
People who are Empire-posting think they're Thrawn.
In reality, it's much more likely they're Piett. Or Ozzel.
Every step of the Sith Code is fatally flawed.
It encourages surrendering to hedonistic whim and calls it strength.
It demands placing yourself in a position of power over others and calls it victory.
It sets up the adherent for failure by calling this freedom.
Power, in and of itself, is a house of cards. Without real loyalty and respect, the kind gained through self-improvement and coordinating with others, you can only hold power over people weaker than yourself.
That kind of power hangs over you like a sword by a fraying hair.
Growing up means realizing Palaptine loved Anakin the same way as a carpenter loves a hammer.
Which, while better on a surface level than how many boomers treat their grandchildren in the modern age, is far from the relationship that an elder ought to have with a youth.

The problem is that Anakin (zoomers) believed that the Jedi order (boomers) was oppressing him. They believe the lie that "burning it all down," will give them what they want. They believe that is the, "right," move.
It isn't though. Liberty is the right move. Personal responsibility is the right move. What Anakin could have done is thanked the Jedi order for everything they had done for him, and then he could have moved on with his life with his wife and children. He didn't want that though. He wanted power. He wanted to burn the system down that he thought hurt him. He thought he deserved more than the order was giving him and he decided to just take it.
Zoomers are revisiting Revenge of the Sith and are rooting for Anakin.
But not to remain a Jedi, but to become the Emperor himself.
Why?
I’ll point to two factors behind this recent trend:
1. The perceived moral and political failure of the “Boomer order” as represented by the Jedi Council
2. The lack of “peace and stability” in their lifetime creating demand for a strong father figure to bring order to the home.
“Vader” literally means father.
They are so desperate for father figures, that many will settle for a Dark Father—a Darth Vader.
Some of these videos going around are half-joking, but that makes it half-revealing too.
The progressives were wrong, history does not naturally bend towards justice. It circles the drain of lunacy and ruin until people commit to the harsh reality of building a sane world and protect it from people who use ideology as a hallucinogenic.
The right is rejecting the modern idol of the Anti-Hitler but catastrophically failing at not identifying with Fantasy Hitler.
The Jedi actually deserved to go extinct. Their entire ideology is inherently antithetical to life itself.
You’re not allowed to have attachments, show emotion, love anyone, be passionate about anything, or embody really any of the qualities that make a sentient living being a sentient living being.
Anything that’s life giving is attacked for being associated with the Sith, who would otherwise be completely correct about everything if it weren’t for their over the top cruelty and cartoonish villainy.
The entire core tenets of the Jedi Order almost perfectly match the late-stage liberal fantasy of a world where existential divisions are all papered over and everyone and everything is forcibly dissolved into a universalist soup managed by a supposedly apolitical priestly caste who wield absolute power while lying through their teeth about how they’re just defenders of democracy.
And like all Liberal orders, the Jedi are so dogmatically committed to the false promise of universalism, neutrality, proceduralism, and “balance” (aka not taking your own side) that they can’t see any existential threats until it is far too late.
Can capital-L libertarian accounts not fall into the trap of conflating thoughts and behavior, or making excuses for something that the vast majority of people in a libertarian society would reject anyway, for five minutes?
If you mean the behavior of #pedophiles who choose NOT to sexually abuse children despite being attracted to them, yes, we do justify that behavior, and you should too.
He simply does not want to acknowledge that there was both a British and French settlement on the islands until the Spanish got involved, and then left, thus making the first inhabitants British.
Also, locked replies lol. Coward.
