Reminds me of Seth McFarlane's response to the Parents Television Council trying to get Family Guy cancelled: "That's like getting hate mail from Hitler."

    He also played the Joker and himself in Batman the animated series

    His bits in Metalocalypse where he pronounced more and more ridiculous names, presumably as a joke from the writers, was the funniest gag in the whole series for me.

    Such a shame it was cancelled

    Being hated by NAZIs is like ... 35% of my day!

    That is the only joy with being around NAZIs: You get to make NAZIs miserable, pissy, and suffering by just having ever existed.

    It seems deliberate to chop the date off these sorts of posts. It would help to add context, just generally.

    The initial tweet sounds like something an imperial would say.

    So Rabid Response 47 is the “official” White House response account? Run by who, some sweating intern trash talking behind a keyboard? Pulled them out of CoD VoIP chat to run the account?

    This is the Luke Skywalker I remember. Not whatever Disney did to the character.

    Not that this makes it right, and his views are clearly uninformed (or at least under informed), but he signed that letter like 5 days after the October 7th attack.

    A month later he replied "same here" to a tweet saying "I’m pro-Palestinian AND vehemently anti-Hamas. I’m also pro-Israel AND vehemently anti-Netanyahu.".

    And several months later he tweeted "I fully support Gaza/Palestine. Despise Hamas."

    While I would prefer he take a more hard lined stance, and there's a lot to be said about how taking a soft stance on a genocide might as well be the same as supporting it, I think it's still fair to say he's gone less "Dark Side" and more "Fall of the Rebublic era Jedi Master on the Council... uh... side".

    yeah, i want to be given grace for my views as i still had (and obviously have) some learning to do so i'm giving him the same. he seems to be heading the right direction. that is the best a person can hope for.

    Yep, there is no shame in being wrong. Choosing not to learn on the other hand. The fact that he's continuing to update his views as he learns more is the right action.

    It's not as bad as it might appear at first glance.

    In the website the sources seems to be from 2023, just after the october attacks.

    At the time I felt the same way, but Israel just would not stop, so I gradualy changed opinion as I just saw more and more pointless violence and dispicable behavior from Israel.

    Also Colonel Christopher "Maverick" Blair, the Heart of the Tiger and Saviour of the Terran Confederation. He did not have blue hair.

    This is like the time the evil guy called us a bunch of "disillusioned miscreants" and we all changed our user titles to that.

    There's no higher honour than being hated by the American government. Unending respect to all the heroes.

    That's the Star Wars guy? I always knew him as 'CockKnocker' from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back".
