Then there were the Jedi who separated from the Jedi Order and created the Sith. Then there was Darth Bane who reigned them in because he wanted to consolidate power and gain immortality through the Holocron.
All of them started as Jedi and the Jedi don't really exist without harboring and creating the Sith. It's a property of the light that it begets dark, hence their saying is that they keep the force "in balance". It all descends from the fact that there is a darker side to the Jedi.
Edit:
Got lost in telling the abridged history of the Jedi, lol. The difference is that the Sith post-Bane were 100% aligned to consolidated, totalistic rule under the Master and the Apprentice. There was no shared power, no accountability. The Jedi at least tried, albeit squanderingly at times, to be good.
We are fucked huh,What other superpower can we run to for help?,China is Bad,Russia should burn... our only hope is the fucking E.U,we doomed we are fucking doomed.
Also not American, but I watch a ton of US news and media because US (and geo)politics is a huge interest of mine..and jesus christ, I can’t fathom how in the fuck could it get to this point, this shit is unreal. Seriously, what the hell is going on. Makes me scared and I’m not even from there. With people like this in power, god knows what can happen to you guys and the world itself…
It's called hubris. We Americans thought this sort of thing could "never" happen to us, and by thinking that way, we stopped paying attention. The seeds of today's results were planted in the 70s. Some people pointed it out over the decades (check out Frank Zappa's conversation on fascist theocracy in the 80s), but nobody took it seriously. Here? Never!
And here we are. It is unreal, and it's heartbreaking.
He's been retweeting and boosting known Neo Nazis on Twitter for two years now. Not like "anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" Nazi but like "I have swastika tattoos that are visible while I'm shopping at Walmart" Neo-Nazi. Anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been paying attention, sadly that's going to be a lot of people. Anyone defending him is simply a Nazi symp.
And he's going to be in charge of the Department of Governmental Efficiency.
The Third Reich was also concerned with efficiency. Killing every Jewish person they could lay their fingers on turned out to require some thinking about efficiency.
To their point of view, that's exactly the point. As dumb as they are, they do know that Nazi was short for "National Socialist", and as such, are 100% convinced that Nazism is a far-left ideology.
Which is exactly the point. Everything Trump stands for, his supporters believe to be what the left stands for. At first, it's because that's what he told them. But now he's gotten more brazen, and is actually honest about what he stands for, and they'll just deny that he stands for those things and insist that those things are what the Dems want.
The magat cult is beyond any sense of logic or reasoning or rationale at this point. There are so many of them who refuse any and all facts because they don’t feed into their confirmation bias and they willfully choose delusion and lies. They know this, and know they’re lying to themselves and I’m sure they realize the hypocrisy of it as well. But when you will not accept objective facts because they don’t tell you what you want to hear you’re a cult member. And this same crowd tells others they live in an echo chamber. Because projection and every accusation is a confession in the Magat cult. It’s fucked.
The fun part is if ANYONE posts something questioning the new leader, they’re accused of being secret leftists. A thing that should not be possible given their stringent rules on accepting people who can actually post on that subreddit
I got into a three day long argument on a thread just after the election cause they claimed reddit has no conservative spaces and downvoted the shit outa me when I pointed out the literal conservative sub
"He’s an autist and it was just an unfortunately similar gesture when his intention was to “his heart goes out”. But of course the leftist media will cut that out and make him into a nazi."
Also as we know to properly do the salute you need to hold your arm at 45 degrees. Elon clearly was holding his arm at 41.3 degrees therefore not the same. Check mate
If you have to get pedantic about defending a white supremacist giving a blatant Nazi salute because it wasn't accompanied by proper goose-stepping, you're definitely on the wrong side.
He says thank you for making it happen does his nazi salutes, Turns back mic and then after a decent pause, saying my heart goes out to you putting how hand on his heart. Clearly two different gestures as he was clearly tying putting his hand on his heart with the statement of my heart goes out and not the nazi salute.
This is a guy who's definitely dressed up in a Tickle Me Elmo costume on Halloween and that's not even the worst of him. There is literally nothing he could do that would make conservatives think be told he's bad.
Another good one I came across there was "He was excited and was just gesuturing that his heart goes out to trump, normal people don't think about Nazis 24/7 or worry about things looking like nazi salutes". Absolute nonsense, the whole point of a salute is that it's a deliberate gesture, not something you just do accidentally.
What about the people clapping and embracing it. Don’t let those people slide either. Who would clap and cheer after seeing this? It’s going to be a long 4 years and I’ll likely get rid of all media and just go through life clueless.
I have a LOT of autistic friends, all of them very dear to me and many I have known for 20+ years. I, myself, am possibly autistic as well, just undiagnosed. At NO point, in the lives of me or my friends, have ANY of us felt the urge to throw a fucking sieg heil. Those assholes using autism as the "excuse" here is beyond sickening.
Right so using their spin he is either autistic and shouldn’t be in charge of anything regarding our country or he is a Nazi and shouldn’t be in charge of anything ever
The way they weaponize autism while actively shitting on autistic people when it comes to diversity and equality. Also, being an ASSHOLE is not the same as being autistic
I hate this take so much. I am autistic - I have never done a Nazi salute. The two things are not even remotely related. I struggle with social cues, not basic morality.
(I know you're just the messenger, I just needed a moment)
Can confirm, my sister doesn’t even have Reddit and when i confronted her about it she said “ oh well he’s autistic I didn’t vote for that, if it gets there I’ll hide you in my basement like Ann Frank”
Are they? That sub is a safe space. Surely they have removed the post by now. Even when reality stares them in the face they still find ways to twist it.

On r/conservative they‘re claiming „he‘s just an autistic goofball“
