  • You have silly robots bantering with each other while you have scenes in the first Star Wars movie where 2 eldery people are completely charred to the death or an entire planet obliterated but in both cases, as in the prequels, the real violence is not shown. The whole debate about the target audience is ridiculous, Batman The Dark Knight is PG13, there’s a lot of problems in the prequels to die on that hill.

    Also “I have the high ground” is one of the dumbest things in any movie.

    That’s a more valid point.

    Edit: I completely forgot about Ewoks winning against the empire while you have a slavery scene with Jabba in episode 6.









  • Fair enough, is definitely not my experience and I have an account on .ml for about 1 year.

    I could argue that I see more trolls on lemmy.world than any other instance, but that obvious: is the larger instance but probably the ratio troll/normal people is more or less the same than any other instance.

    they’re the worst kind of “it’s not my job to explain it to you, Google it” people too.

    That’s a behaviour that I do not see ever on the communities that I participate(basically technology and linux)

    There’s not much reason to have never read it at this point, regardless of personal politics.

    Well a simple reason is interest, is not my priority.

    We’re not talking Atlas Shrugged or Das Kapital.

    And I also want to read Capital, but again is not my priority in the near feature.

    If Tankie means somewhat supporting what the URSS/China did, then YES.

    I’m not communist, I’ve never read the manifesto but I’m more aligned with their ideals and the materialism philosophy than anything else, and I saw this quote that marked me. I paraphrase: “… the worst communist implementation was still better/on par than the best capitalist country”.
