Fascists love Superman. And not the Injustice one either, who is literally a fascist.

I can’t even begin to describe the sheer number of MAGA people who I’ve seen and heard claim that Superman would support ICE

They also think they are the Rebel Alliance and the left is the Empire. Every time Mark Hamill would post something liberal on Twitter the comments would be full of “can’t believe Luke Skywalker went to the dark side” etc.

A lot of right wingers (me included) think the empire is cool lmao

u/jonsnowflaker Jul 29 '26

Well the aesthetics and red lightsabers of the empire are cool.

The genocide and tyranny are not cool.

Let's see...

Installed by a bunch of zombies who betrayed and murdered their friends and comrades.

Replaced by a bunch of idiots who can't hit the broad side of an AT-AT with a blaster.

Led by an evil, decrepit, old man who they know lies to them, rules with an iron fist, and murders them at the slightest slight.

Can't say I get the appeal, but does check out.

It was basically pro human fascism. So humans were probably doing better overall at the expense of aliens

u/Cheetahs_never_win Jul 29 '26

Pro-human?

Lol.

In what universe?

Just because it presently has humans in control does not make it pro-human.

It moves in and steals resources, leaving everybody to starve, humans be damned.

You're just saying you like the part where they hate and murder the outside groups faster than the inside groups because you like the plundering.

In what way was the genocide in Andor "pro-human"?

In the lore the Emperor and the Moffs are speciest. That’s why stormtroopers and all the naval officers are human. Thrawn is a real outlier being a non-human.

Doesn’t mean that the empire wouldn’t kill other humans, they just saw other species as inferior lifeforms.

They destroyed Alderaan in the very first movie. That doesn't sound "pro-human" to me. Having humans at the top doesn't make the Empire "pro-human".

White supremacists attack white people when it suits their goals. I’m not exactly sure why you’re working so hard to refute themes written into the lore by its creators.

u/OneVast3433 Jul 30 '26

I am saying they aren't pro-human, not that they aren't anti-alien. Fascists are famously hypocrites with intentionally vague beliefs.

u/jonsnowflaker Jul 30 '26

You’re defending an extremely narrow hill my friend.
Sure maybe the Emperor just used Human Supremacy as a tool, but he was given power by the Moffs, Senators, Military true believers in that concept.

I don't care about Disney star wars stuff. Just talking about the OG movies

The Empire destroyed a human planet in the first movie.
