the rule of two is by far the most ridiculous piece of star wars lore. it's genuinely world-breaking

@Blootac74-recovery old republic sith names are fucking hilarious btw. there's a guy called darth millennial

@Blootac74-recovery like the sith themselves don't even follow it! palpatine doesn't (he simultaneously had maul and dooku as apprentices and also tried to replace vader with luke the first chance he got), and darth tenebrous had multiple apprentices at once too

@Blootac74-recovery the rule of two was instituted by darth bane during the old republic 1000 years prior to the events of the prequels to get rid of backstabbing and infighting amongst the sith. it's stupid though and makes no sense

that 'do nothing, win' xi jinping meme grows more prescient by the day

i'm sorry but the thought of vader going back to tatooine just to kill watto specifically is making me cry laughing
findthestars_
sorry i can't stop thinking about this it's so funny. do you reckon he killed sebulba as well

can you imagine just being some random dodgy trader living in a slum and then hitler himself shows up to personally execute you

genuinely hilarious that american libs are still doing russiagate stuff about trump when it's extremely obvious who put him in the white house this time — american tech oligarchs who know that he'll sit back and let them hollow out the country even more

'it was russia!!!!' is just qanon for people who watch have i got news for you. i remember last summer people blamed the race riots on russian disinfo too, as if the murdoch press hadn't been whipping people up into a frenzy over 'small boats' and 'grooming gangs' for the past 20 years. reminds me of the knee jerk impulse during the cold war to blame every left-wing political development abroad on soviet interference

i think dating apps have been a disaster for society and have played a huge part in the chud revolution amongst young men

i was lamenting about everything to the gf yesterday evening and she said that she's just calmly accepted total oblivion at this point — the world is essentially going to end in our lifetimes and there's nothing we can do about it so why worry. maybe it's my commie impulses but i just can't understand that. it feels tantamount to just giving up and lying down in the middle of a road and waiting for a truck to cut you in half

didn't argue about it but 'shit sucks, oh well, nothing i can do' just makes me feel worse. i know some people are comforted by the realisation that some things are completely out of their control but for me it just makes me feel nothing but dread. like when you're in a dream and something terrible is happening but you can only move in slow motion
