You know what's really fucked up? Steven Miller claims to be a Trekkie.

I know he looks Ferengi, but I bet he smells like a P’takh

Actually AI slop, but it works with the most popular inspiration

Guess who designed the Nazi uniforms? That's right, Hugo Boss.

That is really going to show off any belly fat.

And the boots? What the hell are those for?

why not. Things cant possibly get any weirder. We MUST be living inside a simulation, right? Do you suupose everything going off the rails mean the simulation is about to be ended?

We've reached the stage of the simulation where the people running it have gotten bored and are cranking the settings to ridiculous extremes just to fuck with their Sims.

Uhh, because George Lucas said so. The original trilogy is an analogy for the Vietnam war. Nazis were obviously an inspiration as well, but you can't possibly look at the battle of endor and not see the vietnam parallel.

I think there was WWII motifs because at the time the original trilogy was being filmed, left over weapons, uniforms, etc were extremely cheap to buy and there was a lot of it available. Lot of material for low cost is always good for film.

This post makes the MASSIVE mistakes of:

  1. Thinking conservatives would ever know the references to even begin to see the red flags.

  2. Ever expecting conservatives to think the flags that they do see are actually red. The bad sort of red flag, anyways...

Did you expect anything different? It started as Air Force Space Command spinning out into their own branch.

The movie was TOO good. Paul wanted to create a seductively fascist movie, he succeeded. But in doing so he made one of the greatest action movies of all time. It came of as "Sci fi adventure" when what he was trying to portray is how tricky and seductive fascism actually is.
