You have no idea how many people don't understand that. Even if you tell them, they don't get it.

("You have no idea" is used as an intensifier here. I don't know what you know. I'm neurodivergent and feel the need to clarify)

I legitimately saw someone say that they heard Star Wars was inspired by the Vietnam War, then said the fucking Empire represented the Viet Cong and Communism.

Some people legitimately can't analyze anything to save their lives.
