    The Jedi by that point were as accessible as the heads of the Catholic Church. To most poor people throughout the galaxy, the Jedi didn’t give a shit about you or your suffering, notice how they didn’t do shit about slavery in the galaxy? To most people the Jedi were nothing but self righteous religious do nothings that live in a big palace

        Ah yes, “You have criticisms of liberalism so you must love Trump.”

        I know someone will think I’m stretching with this but the parallels are so direct they can’t be avoided.

            I know, I’m just pointing out it’s the same logic. My joke was that I was taking your joke too seriously, but I guess it didn’t come across.

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            EDIT: Idk how to do my little shruggy guy on lemmy markdown. Does it read okay for everyone else? Three backslashes has worked on other markdown based forums I’ve used. Please people, lemmy needs lenny.

            Edit 2: On further inspection this appears to be a Proton frontend issue. I’ll pursue it there.

              It was intentionally absurd. I was planning on pointing out that Nuke the Whales is something an imperial officer would do. It’s all good fun.

              Your shruggie seems ok on my end.
