Where are you going with this? There's a lot of directions you could take this meme and like half of them are problematic.

The very real implication is that Anakin is an online conspiracy theorist who generally always arrives at the conclusion that Jewish people control the world.
I didn't even consider the Jews being to blame. That's such an incredibly stupid take I forget it exists until I see it again.
You should piss off both sides..
"Jews control the world, as they should!"
I don't know a thing about Jewish culture But tbh I'd be down for a change of pace
Probably better then what ever we got going on here
Ah, the Bibi Pill.
Thats the point. Hence why votes are mixed. Engage bait is the point, and we both fell for it
? Anakin is a tinfoil hat wearer and Padme is the reader
Spoiler alert Anakin isnt the good guy and goes on the become Darth Vader.
Inconceivable!
I know right?! Kid had such a promising podracing career.
He's making fun of antisemitic conspiracy theorists. When somebody doesn't make a hamfisted soapbox of "HERE'S AN EXCRUCIATING EXPLANATION OF THE JOKE AND MY BELIEFS" that doesn't mean we assume they're a nazi.
I thought capitalists and globalists are code for Jews in antisemitic memes?
Yes. That is literally the joke.
I mean most do, that's why Lemmy is doomed to failure.
"They're not shadowy, they do their evil out in the open."
I don't get it is it supposed to be anti-semitic
That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.
Anakin is, yes. Padme isn't.
My interpretation is that Lucas made it out to be entirely the evil Sith destroying an otherwise reasonable galactic social order. When in reality, fascism happens with no magic required.
Not at all IMO, the Sith simply took advantage of the evil inherent in the system. That’s part of why the Jedi were so blind to it.
(It's almost like the United States is the empire/ old republic)
Yeah, it is, that’s not a secret
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.
Well, I mean, they probably can, but team sports, ya know. We all do it, make bad things about the "other" and good things about "us". Just, not realizing that the people you stand with can do "bad", cause all humans are capable of doing "bad".
You're right of course. I phrased that poorly and meant my interpretation of the meme, not the movies.
Lucas seems to grasp for that interpretation, but he's not politically savvy enough or a good enough writer to pull it off. Clone Wars fixes it.
That was my interpretation
Every damn time
Wish there was a political memes instance
This is a political meme instance.
