    How can anyone look at this and not think “are we the baddies?” They’ve literally used imagery/slogan that is synonymous with fascism and oppression lmao like wtf?

    Also why would the empire have x-wings flying for them?

    It’s weird because I’ve long known a guy whose whole identity revolves around being gung-ho about the US military and he’s also pretty obsessed with the Empire in Star Wars. It’s like their fetishism for a dark fascistic militarized society is leaking through an extremely thin facade of being “ironic”.

    Is modern Ukraine an actual country, or did Reddit just become sentient and start committing a genocide?

    Could imagine what REAL Ukrainian pride would look like?

    Imagine wearing a fucking US appropriated fantasy even further appropriated for a reactionary nazi war… To spit on the honorable history of the Ukrainian scientist to WON THE FUCKING SPACE RACE!!! And they trade that for a fucking derivative tee shirt.

    God damn. Now Im mad.

    Yeah but he worked with Russians, so they would probably just shoot him dead today.

    • That scientist deserves accolades and HONOR for being the person who was AT THE TIP OF THE SPEAR of human space exploration.

      Im fucking furious!
