Folks misunderstanding meme-based arguments. This is a real issue.
If you think the people making these edits “don’t understand” the movies, you are fundamentally misunderstanding how memes work. https://t.co/Y9fODVYr9E
If you are not up to speed on the matter, read this article that explains it all with specificity and directness as to the core of the issue and why memes based on Anakin land like a strike from the Death Star.

How Star Wars exposes the boomer view of history, and prophesies its end
This is why counter-punches based on lore do not land.
This is not a lore-based attack. You are not arguing where the fight is; objections based on the lore or the narrative's elements are CATETGORY ERRORS.
To perform an effective counter-punch, you have to comprehend the root of the meme's argument and devise your counter-punch on those terms.
This is why "Erm, Anakin killed kids" fizzles like a warm fart; the Zoomer meme rejects the premise behind that element, as the article linked explains. This is why "Erm, actually Char was a loser whining about Lalah" also fizzles. Both memes are rooted in a young man whose birthright was stolen by his elders, who constantly belittle him when they can't deal out the pain and harm despite need his supreme skill and acumen to carry their cause and when refused any socially-acceptable route to take what is rightfully his and (correctly) seeing that none exist, (correctly) concludes that unacceptable routes are required and so just does it.
When a trio of Crypto Bros grok this better than many Le Hecking Based Weebs and Fans do, that exposes just how piss-poor most people are at comprehending the nature of Memetic weapons and Narrative Warfare.
This is also seen with the stupid But Achshully retorts on Malfoid, the Harry Potter killshot meme rooted in the young man's yearning for a loyal beauty to build a life with- and the struggle to show that he is worthy of her as she qualifies himself to him in turn.
So no, most of you do not get what the fight is about or the plane in which it is being done.
We can do this with Char Aznable. We can do this with Reinhard von Lohengramm. We can do this with Captain Harlock (arguably an example of a desirable outcome given present circumstances). We can do this. We should do this. We WILL do this, and there's sweet fuck-all anyone can do to stop us.
🚨RED OCTOBER DEBRIEFING: THE WHOLE WEEK, FOR DUMMIES
My read: America is moving its debt off a 30-year mortgage and onto something closer to a credit card that rolls over every few months. To make that work, it needs lenders who never leave, and it needs to know exactly who is holding the money. Both are being built right now.
Here's the week, in plain English.
THE OLD LENDER WENT HOME. For decades, Japan lent the world money because interest rates at home paid nothing. Now Japan's own bonds pay over 3%. This week a big Japanese fund sold every French government bond it owned and brought part of the money home. Japan hasn't sold U.S. debt. But the lender that always showed up now has options.
THE NEW LENDER IS WRITTEN INTO LAW. The stablecoin law says every digital dollar has to be backed by short-term U.S. government IOUs. Every new digital dollar is a new loan to Washington. And the companies issuing them can't pay you interest. They keep the interest. You hold the coin.
THE PRESIDENT SAID THE QUIET PART. He told TIME that some inflation will help pay off the debt "very rapidly." Inflation shrinks debt by making dollars worth less. So ask who's holding dollars that earn nothing. See number 2.
THE FED IS LINING UP TOO. Every month, the Fed takes the money from its old mortgage bonds and buys short-term government IOUs instead. That's about $15 to $17 billion a month. It isn't "printing" or "injecting." It's one IOU swapped for another, and it's all going to the short end.
TREASURY IS BUYING BACK ITS LONG BONDS. Buybacks doubled. The old 20- and 30-year paper is being retired.
A GOLD-BOND ADVOCATE WALKED IN. A longtime advocate of a 50-year U.S. bond you could trade in for gold just joined Treasury as Counselor to the Secretary. She's confirmed it on her own bio; Treasury hasn't posted it. The Senate blocked her from the Fed in 2020. This job needs no vote.
YOUR WALLET IS GETTING AN ID CHECK. Starting November 9, Apple Cash requires you to verify your identity before you can add money. If you don't, you can still spend what's there or send it to your bank. But you can't add to it, send it, or receive it. Money without a name attached can leave. It just can't move anymore.
Put it together: Long-term lenders: leaving or being bought out. Short-term lenders: built by law, lined up by the Fed. The money in your pocket: going digital, and getting a name attached.
They have been telling us the whole time.
I am the guy on the couch, and you have been debriefed.
For every Ethan Ralph, Milo Yannopoulous, Mister Metokur, or Honey Badger there were a hundred or more like Oliver. Johnny B. Videogames, just trying to enjoy a hobby, and damn tired of the bullshit coming out of Games Journalism about the hobby, the medium, and especially the audience.
Oliver's been making it work as a ghostwriter, freelancer, and livestreamer for a LONG time. He was there for Airplay, met several of the high-profile folks in the old GG days, and has co-hosted a pair of videogame-related shows over this time. He's a CAPCOM partner, and one of--if not THE guy--for Monster Hunter.
And he's been wrecked by his wife.
Things that my wife has illegally done in the past months:
-Completely removed me from all shared martial funds
-Completey removed me from access to all shared resources, (car etc). I'm not even sure if she forged my signature and removed me from the title to our vehicle.
-Spent a month fighting to recover any of my personal property. This includes my birth certificate, my brother's death certificate, all records of my health issues, the works. This means I did not have record the proves MY OWN EXISTENCE. This includes hardware used for streaming.
-I am on the title to my car. She's now using it to drive for lift, literally destroying the value of my vehicle which I am on the title to. And if something happens, I am liable for it.
-Continues to dissipate marital funds on non-day to day business (perfumes, and entertainment items, and personal preening). Very little is spend on my son's needs.
-Removed me from all accounts listed in my name. Renter's insurance, car insurance, health insurance. All things in my name that was promptly canceled.
None of that is actually legal at all in my state.
Here is the ugliness of the situation.
I was in a position where I quietly asked mutuals to try and help me. They were able to put up a little to try and get me legal representation. But I am being attacked on multiple legal fronts.
It's simply not enough, and I need to be able to fund this in a such a way that I can overwhelm the situation.
I am not allowed to Crowdfund this through GFM. Any money that is raised under it would then be subject to marital assets. I am unable to run the Digital Noosphere because everything I earn there, she can take from me. Anything I earn from Twitch she can take from me. I don't even have control over any of my IP because I created it during the marriage. Even the EP, anything on the Noosphere.
My son is not safe from my wife. She is in the middle of a severe mental health episode and is making up things that don't exist (this is noted in her mental health records). It went from bad to worse.
I am BEGGING the community to help me. I cannot save my son from her if I can't even save myself. If you want me to fight, THIS is how I can fight.
I am not one to be stunned into silence so easily anymore, but this did it. This hit me so squarely that I sat in my wheelchair in disbelief. It is one thing for a marriage to have issues--every married couple I've known had issues over the years--but this caught me so utterly by surprise that only Pearl Harbor would exceed that level of complete and total What The Fuck reaction.
I can offer nothing more than words and prayers to help the man who showed up for me when I was in the shit. As he is far better at using words than I am, I will let him tell his own story.
That doesn't mean I will do nothing.
Oliver quotes me from time to time: "Everyone gangster 'til it's time to do gangster shit."
It's time to do gangster shit.
What I can do--will do now--is use my words to name some names and implore them to show up for this man.
Vox Day: You showed up on the Killstream more than once out of lingering loyalty to Ethan Ralph. Oliver is a far better man, a far better father, a far better husband, and a far better--and far more consistent--professional who, like you, is using Super Intelligence to good effect. You are in a position to show up, here and now, and offer him not only a sympathetic ear but real patronage to help him out in concrete and practical terms.
Jon Del Arroz: Not as much as Vox, but you are in the same boat, and furthermore you have had a near-identical experience with this sort of thing. You have first-hand experience that is vital to a man in Oliver's position, and all you'd need to do is get into his DMs and talk to him. If nothing else, getting him on to Fandom Pulse would be a real show of support.
Rollo Tomasi: This is your wheelhouse. You have a MASSIVE audience, an audience that you could be--should be--organizing into a massive mutual-aid network. You have seen this scenario go down so many times that you have literally written the book on it.
Aaron Claery: Time to stop being a doomer Gen X and help someone that needs it; between you and Legal Mindset, you can help Oliver sort out his Financial Abuse/Repression problems- LM can help Oliver find counsel that can do the court stuff, and then you can advise on rebuilding finances once that's sorted.
Ivan Throne: You talk a big game about organizing, mutual aid, and Coming Under The Standard. You also talk a big game about Noble Obligation and good stewardship. Walk That Talk.
The Honey Badgers: Like Rollo, this is your wheelhouse. Like Rollo, you have the audience you can organize into mutual aid. Not as much as Rollo, but enough. You also have some prior contact; he is exactly the man in need that you lot talk about daily, so show what you know.
Furthermore, there are others who have the reach needed to help him. I'll stick to the most obvious man.
Legal Mindset: You can help Oliver get the representation he needs, and by God he needs it. Doesn't even need to be in public; you can help him entirely on the downlow via DMs with referrels and introductions.
No, that's not an exclusive list. There's plenty of others out there. You lot know who you are, and you know who can help him. Here's his Twitter page; hit up his DMs.
Yes, he's sounding more like himself after getting it all out off of his chest, but that doesn't mean shit's sorted. He got knocked down, not out, but that doesn't mean that the threat is over or the problem is solved.
He needs actionable, practical aid. He needs a lawyer, he needs access to the financial system, and he needs a lifeline. I can do NONE of this for him, or I already would have. Instead, cripple that I am, all I can do is use my words to impress upon you the injustice of this situation and how solvable this is if he gets what he needs.
You can't save the world, but you can save ONE man- and,more importantly, you can save this man and his son. Even if you aren't moved by the man, be moved by the innocent boy stuck in this situation eating shit sandwiches daily through no fault of his own. The boy needs his father; you can help the boy by helping his father. Help this man to help himself and his boy.
Prepare for shit like this non stop until the 4th
They stacked the deck to deliver payoffs just before voting because they know the average voter has the attention span and memory of a a lobotomized rat
Wouldn't have mattered how much they did the last 2 years, yall would have found new things to bitch/chimp about
so they cached wins like a squirrel getting ready for winter, and now is the time of payoffs
Add this into the mix.

I fully expect this same pattern to play out again, this time with executions carried out by the military.
Supreme Court already established in 2020 with the 4 test cases that the Shadow Government attempted to block with Judge Chutkan that Trump and the Attorney General have the authority to conduct the executions of state level prisoners by the federal government.
Now when numerous injunctions are filed by the rogue judges to attempt to block Hasan’s military execution once the date is set for him to be shot, , the very first setting of such a date since 1961, the SCOTUS will once again clearly establish the precedents and clear the way for several thousand military executions coming over the next 2 years.
Watch, the military is not gonna set some date a year and a half from now for Hasan to be shot. The execution date will be fairly close, perhaps within 1 month.

The endgame for the Sovereigntists as well as for the Thralls is to purge the enemy from the genepool.
That means killing them.
We're going to see our side do this with full Rule of Law for as long as can be had. The enemy will attempt to botch it up as much as they can for as long as they can, but that only delays the inevitable and provokes infighting as subfactions among the enemy use that bought time to Fuck Thy Neighbor while they run for it to some bolthole they think hasn't been found (it has) and thus can hide there (they can't) until the threat passes (it won't).
If Rule of Law isn't sufficient, then it's Writ of Outlawry time and that means Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You.
In short, this is the penultimate step before open warfare. They're using the Jihadi turncoat to send the message that it's Dying Time now for the Thralls.
This past week, the Trump Administration launched America.gov to the world.
Only those that have never attempted to get straight answers out of any part of the US Federal Government gainsay this tool.
Is it vibe-coded? Sure, that's likely. Looks like a Grok or Claude wrapped widget.
Yet all you need to do is ask the widget and you'll get the info you're looking for. No more hunting shit down on one of the dogshit agency sites, or out of date Congressional member sites, or needing to scour Reddit (or worse) to find the unlinked pages or scour the Wayback Machine or find a way around a paywall or any of that.
Want to know how to get a passport? Sorted. Deal with the VA? Sorted. Find out the conditions of Exotic Third World Tourist Trap? Sorted. Want to know if the Department of the Interior has any jobs available in Idaho? Sorted. Want to buy government surplus aircraft? Sorted.
"I could do that myself."
You can. Boomer Grandma can't. Your hapless Gen Z cousins can't. Your normie girlfriend can't. Your status-striving Millenial coworkers can't. They're the folks who need a one-stop-shop for questions about FedGov shit and this site does it.
You need to comprehend just how mind-blowing it is for most Normies to finally get ONE FUCKING PLACE with ALL THE OFFICIAL INFO, and all they need to do is talk to it. That's a level of simplicity, transparency, and directness out of FedGov that I have not seen in my lifetime- and no, it wasn't much better for my parents either.
You can count on enlistment, service academy application, Social Security stuff, and so much more just through that one portal. HUGE. Big win for Normies.
This needs to be replicated on the State, County, and City level immediately- especially State and County. PUSH THAT IDEA!
On August 26th, The Debriefing posted this. This is your deep explanation of what's going on and why.
🤔Timelines, Patterns & What's Actually Happening
Imagine the global financial system is a building. It was built after World War II. For eighty years, money moved through this building between countries, between banks, between people. Some of that money was clean. A lot of it… https://t.co/GW41aSAIuhpic.twitter.com/Oc2rIzetZU
Stop dooming. Shit's getting done, real shit, that has real effects on you for the better. Trump works off Second Order Effects. This is exactly the deep structural change that has to happen for any sovereigntist action to last longer than the man winning an elected position can hold it.
This is something that the Richard Groves and James Corbetts (folks I would otherwise not insult like this) fail to grasp because they don't get American System dynamics or see how the system works despite being around since 9/11 and doing a lot of good reporting and other good work all this time. Those folks fell into error due to these blind spots.
This is followed up independently by EM Burlingame's appearance on Rich Does Politics. The Sea Power-based system of centralized control is breaking up back into regional Land Power-based blocs.
(NB: EM buys into the Hypersonic nonsense that others, like Tom Luongo, rightly dismiss as bullshit that doesn't exist. EM's got his own blind spots.)
