Okay so apparently people don’t believe me or others when we say that the First Order are basically space Nazis. Here is a link to a direct quote on the subject.
Are we good now? Can you understand why people don’t want these Star Wars villians being treated as misunderstood babies?
And since people keep being gross about this anyway: JJ Abrams is Jewish. Lawrence Kasdan is Jewish. They are unreservedly allowed, as Jewish artists, to write and design stories that are analogs of Jewish experience and use the fantastic to symbolize their own oppressors. They have every right to be as overt or subtle as they want, too – and they went explicit as fuck, so stop ignoring/minimizing their intentions.
They knew what they were doing when they wrote Phasma and Kylo leading stormtroopers in a pogram against an impoverished village of religious outsiders.
They knew what they were doing when Hux gave a Space Nuremberg Rally.
They knew what they were doing doing when, instead of showing their Space Genocide from outside, we watched the Hosnian victims’ dying, horrified faces – unnamed and unknown, but important.
They knew what they were doing when they decided Kylo’s prize trophy was human ashes.
Furthermore, none of the major actors playing FO characters (Driver, Gleeson, Christie, or Serkis) are Jewish, so regardless of fictional Ben Solo’s fictional heritage – which was an intentional choice on the part of his creators when they wrote him as a poster-boy for the FO/gave him a fucking templar cross for a lightsaber – you’re never “calling a Jew a Nazi if you compare Kylo/Hux/the FO to neo-Nazis!!1!”
Denying Jewish artists the agency and legitimacy of their own stories is gross. Don’t do it.
Don’t talk over Jewish fans who keep fucking pointing out that they’re overtly Nazi allegories.
And for FUCK’S sake, stop stanning fucking Nazis.
(I’d also venture to say – the reason JJ and Rian view Kylo so differently is because, as far as I know, Rian is the goyest of goyim.)
Hey, just in case you have trouble with false equivalency between Antifa and Fascists. Someone made this handy chart to help you with your stupid bullshit!
never let people forget that the main target of nazis are jews.
Lgbt people are targets, black people are targets, other poc are targets.
but their main targets are always Jews. don’t forget about us. Don’t forget that they’re targeting jews.
because everyone seems to be doing so, and its not fair. We’re real people, being targeted. our death, our elimination, is being Claimed as a main goal publicly on television by these neo-nazis.
You don’t get to leave us out of your solidarity posts about the victims and targets of these white supremacists.
To do so is to perpetuate the very antisemitism that these people are spreading. To do so is to be complicit in these neo-nazis goals.
I know most people making posts in solidarity with the targets of these people mean well, but you can’t leave out their main target, for any reason.
I want to make it clear, too, that I count nazi apologists as nazis for this, too.
Nazi ideology revolves around racial superiority to the point of genocide. It’s a political ideology that should be shamed out of existence.
I wonder how many white dudes are cryptype sobbing in the comments about how “punching nazis well actually makes u a nazi 2” because no, it actually doesnt, you’re just a lowkey smarmy nazi sympathizer highkey racist fuck
