  • I decided to do a bit more then just “hot” and “active” and its the same across all of them except “controversial” and “Most comments”.

    “Most comments” has some .world posts in it but does not match using another instance. The only one that seems to line up is ironically sorting by “controversial”,

    This is really getting weird and is making it hard to use Lemmy for me. Like I like some of the posts listed but I can not believe the largest instance is not posting anything. To make me more confused this also started at the same time Mander got really slow, and to add to the weirdness refreshing the page gives entirely different sorting of posts maybe one out of five times.



  • Did we watch the same movies? There was no sign of any functional societies outside of slavers and remnant powers. The first order does not even have planets or a nation, just bases scattered around.

    Why does the rebellion even still call themselfs that? Like the first order did not spring up over night. The whole setting of the Disney movies feels so wrong to me, it’s like the characters are in an empty place and nothing matters.

    Also the space bombers are stupid.

    Yeah, It just kinda bugs me that people just toss aside critical thinking like this. Mostly the star wars example bugs me as The empire in the first 3 movies was based of the 3rd reich and very clearly the bad guys, but then when disney took over and removed any story from cannon after the 3rd movie (that covers making a new republic). Now you have this weird situation where canonically the empire was a functional government (that is evil) that is overthrown by the rebels that for some reason don’t become the next government but instead the whole galaxy is now just a massive post apocalyptic hellscape with slaves and worse and somehow the emperor is back leading a crap version of the empire (but with out actually governing anything).


  • I mean this in all good intentions but a lot of these examples don’t really work.

    The hunger games is a mess and I do remember the “good” side was also super not cool.

    Star wars is even worse since the rebels even after winning things got much worse, so yeah now I cheer for the empire when watching the old movies.

    I even back in the day thought the machines had a better point then the humans in the matrix movies.

    No one watched Divergent, so who knows?

    And in V for Vendetta the whole hook is the story gets you to sympathize with a literal terrorist. Like really a main point of the story is to question authority and not blindly follow like this post expects people to do.
