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 [email protected]
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

MODERATORS
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
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Yes, in many books from EU Holonet was mentioned to be republic(and empire)-wide instant communication network with functions like the TV and internet. Coverage and function varied from author to author though.
it was a very 90s kinda internet, and none of the characters we followed were posters.
one of the smarter things to not go into exhaustive detail about really.
Star wars hexbear and there's people posting edits of Tusken raiders shooting stormtroopers down with the words "Another SStormtrooper down! Unlimited Battle of Yavin on the galactic core!" splashed over it
i ned thiz plzkthnx
As it turned out, hard sci fi is obliterated by a test of time very quickly. But those with either no technobabble like Dune or completely asspulled one like Star Trek endure lol. SW also avoid it and fare pretty well.
