Star Wars Memes
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
Ok but you're still being kinda delusional. You want to vote hitler out? You want Vietnam and algeria and Haiti to vote the French out? Sometimes you have to use violence to stop the violence that someone else is doing.
What I'm saying is in order to stop the future growth or rise of fascism, education is important. Letting kids read about the real history of oppression and violence is absolutely vital. I'm not delusional about the idea that the current fascists in office can be defeated with intellectualism - obviously that isn't going to work. Sometimes you do have to fight fire with fire. But I truly believe that in most instances, to have peace you have to prepare for peace, by nipping fascism in the bud through early education and open discussions.
Ohh gotcha, agreed.
I could have made that clearer in my original post. I was really talking about educating future generations - rather than trying to take down the current regime.
