If Biden did this shit they would be clapping and cooming their pants saying how Dark Brandon will save democracy from Cheeto Hitler and how the image is American excellence.
This is a funny take because I was just thinking how if Biden had done this, y'all would be mocking the shit out of him right now. But because it's y'all's lord and Savior Trump, it's based.
 
You know what...
The Empire was based. It brought order to a war torn galaxy, created numerous jobs, construction programs. Fuck, does anybody remember Luke wanting to join the Imperial Academy before Obi Wan showed up? It brought prosperity to poor planets like Tatooine even. Based picture Trump. Swing that red lightsaber.
Even in the sequels the Rebels were never able to consolidate power in any meaningful way, the rebels brought destruction to every system they went too. The destruction of the death stars were the unjustifiable actions of a decentralized group of idealistic terrorists. Luke plotted his whole adult life to kill his father and usurp his thrown, he is oedipus - his mother was dead so he went for his sister. TRD

That's the cause they wanted to do rebels vs empire again, so they just killed off the new republic, and created discount branded rebels(the resistance) and empire(the first order, why its called that I have no idea) actually apparently the new republic didn't have a standing army, so they just used the resistance and funded that, in other words they made the exact same mistake the old republic made.

It's funny in both cases, just for different reasons. Biden('s handlers) would have done it because they thought it would make him look cool. Trump('s handlers) did this because it's funny and makes the right people seethe

Quintessential laughing-at vs laughing-with

The difference is the right just calls it gay and retarded, the left writes op-eds and has existential meltdowns over it when Trump does it.

Theres a fine line between the talking heads droning on legacy media finding some random staffer or member of the public to be outraged vs. real TDS.
 
While I no longer love Star Wars, I still feel bitter over the Yuzhan Vong getting completely shafted. Would've been way more interesting than Disney's shite.
If some MAGA hospitable person or group bought Disney they could easily have a bonanza of money by bringing the Star Wars Extended Universe back. For the female audience, make actual Disney Princess content that doesn't suck. This is such "low hanging fruit" it is obvious they are spitefully refusing to give their audience what they want. They are willing to burn a mountain of money to persue their goal of subverting and destroying western culture.

Maybe bring back star wars 1313 that would be nice

Don't lump us all together! I'm in it to laugh at the masses, not puff up an embarrassing and out of touch AI shitpost injecting Star Wars into real, tangible, serious problems. Plus, the people who SHOULD be mocked when it comes to these pictures are the staffers running these accounts.

And then the Di$ney movies and other post-JJ crap -- especially "woke" stuff like that "the power of MANY" thing -- becomes "Legends"?

:thinking:
 
I need to level with you guys.

I am embarrassed that Elon is my country's representative in America. While I can't deny his business success or his advocacy for space travel, I have a sinking feeling that by 2030 you will all come to absolutely despise this man and his ways (if you still somehow have not seen him for what he really is). And I can tell you this because I know what he is and what he is about. I have met people like him here.
He has taken the view that America is simply "useful" to his personal ambitions. I doubt he gives a rats ass about America or the American way beyond its utility in boosting his vanity projects. His view is "What can America do for me?" Remember the H1B1 fiasco? He will sell you out to the H1b mobs if it benefits him. If Democrats promised him that they would deregulate space flight he would be the bluest fucker in the country. He has this mentality that he is above you guys.
His absolute pathological NEED to be liked may seem baffling to you but it makes perfect sense to me. Its an autistic South African's idea of what America is like. "Dumb Americans like charismatic politicians. If I pander to them they will follow me". But firstly, he is not and never will be likeable and charismatic. And secondly, people know when you are trying too hard. He thinks that the kind of charisma that Americans like can be forced. This is because he knows nothing about his host country from a historic and social perspective.
If you let him suck you dry he will.
 
Is there a fix? Thanks to the rapid demographic shifts, I don’t advocate a white teacher working at public schools and it’s increasingly becoming the case for private schools thanks to muh vouchers. Homeschool is really becoming the only way to go and even my waifu’s shitlib friends are going the homeschool route. It’s not just for evangelicals anymore.
I know teachers disillusioned by both public and private schools who now offer to teach subjects to home schooled students either on a 1 to 1 basis or part of a home school group. They see it as a win-win in that they get to teach without the drama or partisan politics that comes with being a teacher in the traditional sense. Similarly, parents who have the option to home school are looking into it more if the public schools around them are too awful and the private schools are too expensive or lacking in their area.

As for the question, there's sadly no easy fix for what ails education. Any sort of meaningful change would be resisted by teachers union and activists caring more about their own self-interests than what's good for students despite their, "It's all about the kids," rhetoric.

Sadly NASA did this to themselves. If they hadn't embraced DEI i think 'science' funding would be maintained. A lot of the space nerd streams are freaking over this. Trump want historic achievements not a jobs programs for elites.
From what I'm hearing, the whole USAID revealed how federal funding for both legitimate and frivolous purposes has been commingled in such a way that it's difficult to simply get rid of the spending that offers nothing of value. As a result, Trump has adapted a "nuke it all and start over" approach to stop funding the useless stuff and restore funding to where it rightfully should go. As we've seen, those benefiting from wasteful and corrupt spending are the ones bouncing and squeaking the most and engaging in lawfare to keep their precious money spigot open without any sort of accountability or justification for spending that money.
