Yeah, no. The Galactic Empire brought order to the galaxy (and a little bit of mass murder). The US has done far worse, and any good we were doing like USAID is being reversed by our small pp energy dictator.
The OG Star Wars is literally an allegory for the Vietnam War where the Vietcong are the rebels, with sci-fi nazi aesthetics (and space wizards). The USA is quite literally the Galactic Empire in that metaphor.
My kin here really tryin claim the Galactic Empire is worse than the USA?
Dont get me wrong, America has been committing crimes against their own and foreign people and holds a firm exploitative grip on the earth. But the Empire destroys planets, actively (not conveniently) exterminates people and enslaves them. They wipe out religions, and are an outright dictatorship for 20 years.
Are you kidding me?
America is literally the Galactic Empire. The Matrix is literally capitalism. The capitol is literally America/Capitalism. I didnt watch the others.
Who if not the (almost?) richest man of earth is the king of capitalism?
He didn’t actually see any of those movies. He just paid someone to watch them for him
He asked grok for a summary
No… those are all the literal meaning of metaphorical.

The Empire blew up a planet.
I’m fairly certain Death Star and Death Star II are allegories for nuclear bombs dropped on Japan.
I have no source - just college lit classes.
Annihilating an entire planet is fine as long as there is order?

Weren’t buffalos shot to starve natives?
Did I say America committed no crimes? Don’t inflate my argument
I was going to say The Matrix was ackshually a closeted trans allegory, but it turns out it’s both (but also, whatever you want it to be, kinda).
