No, that’s ‘Palpatine’. You’re thinking of fast or irregular beatings of the heart.

No, that’s “poutine”! You’re thinking of a large box used as a form of transportation for a human passenger, often carried using poles by at least four other people.

Nah, mate. That’s called palanquin. You’re thinking of a holy warrior, often depicted as being able to wield light magic in RPGs and general fantasy.

No, that’s “preamble.” You’re thinking of the theological construct where god has already chosen those who will be saved.

Not related to the Israel–Palestine conflict, but I’m curious about your perspective here:

I do not support any group that uses weapons against any other group, no matter what.

Is this an absolute? For example, let’s say a group starts attacking another group, are they allowed to defend themselves with proportional force?

Again, I’m not trying to get your views on any conflict in particular. I just like talking about these things and broadening my beliefs :)

I stand by what I said, I don’t support any group using weapons against another group. Yes, it’s quite natural for any group to defend themselves against an attack, but that doesn’t excuse the immoral corruption of killing others, whatever the reason for it. That’s my opinion, but I stand by it. And anyone who disagrees and wishes instead to dwell in a state of violence, is free to do so.

Ok, then I’ll just move into your house. But we can reach across the divide to promote peace and learning or whatever afterwards.

OP can have the spare bathroom and storage room. The kitchen, bedrooms, and central living space are exclusively ours. No cooking, utilities, or guests allowed, and OP isn’t allowed to leave through any door, but if they ask nicely they can talk from the storage room doorway.

Good luck with that. Unless you have a passcode and the gate keeper lets you in, you can’t get within a mile of my home. Not by my doing, my family’s estate is on private land that is also a nature preserve, mostly closed to public entrance. We own hundreds of acres and most of it is private, so it’s a long long hike up a winding driveway to our estate - better pack a lunch with you.

That’s, frankly, dumb.

Lead and sulfur is the only cure for fascism.

I disagree. Lead and sulfur will be the facsists weapon of choice and it already is. The real cure of fascim is intelligence. Educated people are humane people. Kindness is the hallmark of a well educated person.

Yeah that’s how we beat the Nazis in ww2. We invested in their education infrastructure.

You can prevent facism from taking root with a good education sure, but once colonialism or imperialism or facism are present, violence is exceptionally good at getting rid of it.

Star Wars Memes

!starwarsmemes@lemmy.world

Create post

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

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

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:

  1. 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.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
