It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Hunger Games is about revolutionary anti-imperial class struggle
George Lucas said the Empire is inspired by America and the Rebels by the Viet Minh
The Matrix was created by a trans woman and at least partly an allegory for being trans
Divergent is shitty lib fanfiction but very obviously anti-conservative
Alan Moore was a communist or anarchist
wow these movies are just like January 6th when we resisted communism by smearing our shit on the capitol walls!! 
The absolute fucking moment Trump re-takes office, you're going to see Donald Trump / Darth Vader mash ups, with the Death Star blowing up a planet tagged "Woke Libs" and Vader choking a guy labeled "Biden Voters".
I mean hell, Zelensky did that flashy promo for the war while wearing that t-shirt explicitly saying "Join the Dark Side"
You see two sides, one wearing civilian clothes and flight suits; the other wearing Nazi uniforms and blowing up planets and their brains are too fuckin' scrambled to see which one is the side you're supposed to root for
was always suspcious of anyone who was like "the Empire just looks cooler and has better gear/asethetics"
never got that. even as a kid. the rebel alliance had combined arms tactics, brilliant generals/admirals, special forces commando teams, used camo, carried more advanced infantry weapons and used vastly superior, albeit outnumbered, combat space craft
like how tf do you root for the human wave/swarm tactics guys who cheap out on even basic defenses for their space craft?
space battleships are pretty cool, imperial prop direction wasn't exactly ugly either. basically everything in star wars had to look 'cool' for merchandising after all. actually thinking about it that Han Solo movie & Andor were the only installments that had the imperials looking mostly ugly & unpleasant. everything else the costumiers can't resist making a new cool design to sell toys with
cool designs sure. battlefield tactics and their military is terrible, like both in the lore and just on screen as well
And yet, some of the worst Empireheads are the old EU nerds
They point at Grand Admiral Thrawn just like all the Wehraboos who idolize Rommel
And guys, I don't think being a fan of the "brilliant tactical mind who fights for their empire despite disagreeing with it ideologically" trope makes a difference
just like Rommel's 'disagreement' with the Nazis is overwrought and superficial; Thrawn was still a fascist, just less racist by virtue of being a Blue Guy
With Zahn seemed to know on some level in HTTE, and then shifted from by the end of the trilogy, and by the time Hand of Thrawn comes out he is rehabilitating his precious Thrawn.
Hey, "good enough" aircraft can be cool
I dunno what to tell you here, their shit looks slick.
i was personally into the helmet design. Darth Vader has that obvious samurai helmet combined with a gas mask thing going on.
Stormtrooper helmet just look neat ig
The Imperial navy troopers, Imperial gunners, walker crew officers, and the Rebels of ANH all have WW2 US navy talker helmets
Lucas said the stormtrooper helmets were based off the stalhelm.
