Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If we apply SW lore to modern politics (Biden was like 30 something when the original Star Wars came out... consider that... almost 50 years ago) Vader is basically Biden and the Emperor is, I suppose?, Trump.
You can get the guy shooting lightning out of his non-functioning cock and openly just saying "yeah, we gotta kill all the other species or otherwise enslave them so fucking what?"
or you get the "lesser evil" going around, chopping up younglings, fire bombing and genociding entire planets for resisting the empire... but maybe he feels a little bit bad about it.
He's just killing all these disgusting non-empire, non-humans, non-subservient planets/species because they said they don't want to live under the yoke of the empire. "That's anti-imperialism, man! Come on, man! Just sit back, let me swing my giant red laser-dildo around a few planets, maybe daddy can blow a few up, and hey, I bet those dog-creatures on Kashyyyk realize their knees can bend after all. It's all gravy from there! Just stop being so fucking liberal, ok!? Millions of empire-haters gotta die. We all must live with this fact. Please just shut the fuck up about it already because you're kinda starting to sound like you also hate the empire and my dildo-trigger finger is getting very itchy. All these questions are making Vaden very angry!"
the emperor is capitalism personified
Come on, he is just bring pragmatic.
