From the Zoomer perspective the Jedi are evil Anakin was born of a Virgin, conceived by the Force, the Jedi Council knew he was the Chosen One.. Yet still, they rejected him… Why? Because he was more powerful than them Imagine they had loved him, trusted him, and recognized his Divine Destiny Instead they: -forbid him to reproduce -allowed his mother to be sold into slavery and viscously murdered by “sand people” -watched the Democratic Process of the Republic evolve into a powerless stalemate -traded Ancient Prophecy in favor of a modern interpretation thereby mocking the very Tradition they claimed to protect They got what they deserved. Long live the Empire. Hail Lord Vader

If this scene wasn’t in the movie it would be 10xs better. The jump that Anakin goes from *would die defending all of these children* to *killing them* is quite hamfisted and takes me you out of the movie completely

The Bible is above the Constitution.

What Do the Boomers Really Believe? Not what they say at dinner. What they believe in the dark, deep in the soul, where a generation keeps the story it tells about itself. Every civilization has a sacred text. The Greeks had Homer. The Hebrews had Exodus. The boomers have Star Wars. Laugh if you like. They didn't. They lined up around the block for it, raised their children on it, and paid to hear it retold for fifty years. Because it was about them. In their youth, they saw themselves as rebels. A handful of brave young idealists against an evil empire whose uniforms their fathers wore. So they rose up, blew it to pieces, and danced in the forest while it burned. But ask yourself one question. How oppressive was that order, really? The one that won WW2, built the suburbs, sent them to university for next to nothing, and handed them the richest society in human history? Watch the films again. The Empire never governs. It never builds a road or collects a tax. It just wears a costume borrowed from 1945. They never asked what it actually did. They only needed it to be evil. Then they grew older, and the story changed. Now they were the Jedi. Wise masters in robes, keepers of the peace, guardians of the temple and the ancient ways. An order with total power over the Republic, answerable to no one, testing blood, taking children, deciding who rises and who waits. And yet something is wrong in the temple. Their powers are fading, and they know it. They hide it from the Senate. They turn away the most gifted boy they have ever seen. Why? Because they can feel it coming. The usurper. A young man who will do to them exactly what they did to their fathers. That's the boomer soul. Rebel in youth. Priest in old age. Terrified, always, of the next rebellion. And George Lucas put every bit of it on screen. Which leaves us something remarkable: a lexicon. A map of a generation's mind, drawn by its own hand. Through Star Wars we can walk the corridors of boomer consciousness and see what they worship, what they hide, and what keeps them awake at night. Which brings us to the prophecy. For a thousand years the Jedi guarded it. A Chosen One will come and bring balance to the Force. They were sure it meant their victory. It didn't. So what did it mean? Who was it really about? Why did the wise masters never see it coming? Or did they? And if Lucas wrote a generation's deepest fear into its own sacred text, what else did he write down without knowing? The boy is still standing in the middle of the Council. He has waited long enough. So have you. Come with me, and I'll show you the Sith pill. (Link in the next post)

The Jedi actually deserved to go extinct. Their entire ideology is inherently antithetical to life itself. You’re not allowed to have attachments, show emotion, love anyone, be passionate about anything, or embody really any of the qualities that make a sentient living being a sentient living being. Anything that’s life giving is attacked for being associated with the Sith, who would otherwise be completely correct about everything if it weren’t for their over the top cruelty and cartoonish villainy. The entire core tenets of the Jedi Order almost perfectly match the late-stage liberal fantasy of a world where existential divisions are all papered over and everyone and everything is forcibly dissolved into a universalist soup managed by a supposedly apolitical priestly caste who wield absolute power while lying through their teeth about how they’re just defenders of democracy. And like all Liberal orders, the Jedi are so dogmatically committed to the false promise of universalism, neutrality, proceduralism, and “balance” (aka not taking your own side) that they can’t see any existential threats until it is far too late.

Breaking: For the 34th time in a row, the world overwhelmingly votes to condemn and end the illegal US 🇺🇸 blockade of Cuba 🇨🇺. Here's a map I made of the official vote.

Men are too dumb to realize that reality will actually look like this. Artificial wombs won't be wombs. They will be life support systems. That means they will still need a mother. Also, they will benefit women far more, as younger generations of women already outearn men.

BREAKING: The State of Utah is criminally charging Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour. He could receive up to 75 years in prison. I sat down with him for a deep dive chat 48 hours ago. Here it is.

I think communists are a threat to humanity and all civilization. It’s like calling Nephi a murderer.

At @UTSA for Pick Up the Mic, a student read a poem celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk with such glee, then told me I was brave to be out here without my neck covered. I told her I’d pray for her. This is the climate. We pick up the mic anyway.
