every single country that has voiced support for israel's "self defense", every single politician, anchor, news outlet, zionist, and person baying for the blood of palestinians is complicit in genocide. (Oct. 17) a hospital was purposefully bombed today, killing 500 people (the death toll bound to climb as reports come in), and israel says "hamas" as a paper-thin flimsy excuse to justify murdering doctors, patients, and everyone sheltering there. western media pieces of shit will say "major loss of civilian life" in the face of real-time genocide like it was simply an unfortunate incident or natural disaster. like isarel didn't deliberately murder human beings. israeli historian and genocide scholar said this a textbook case of genocide. and the west still does nothing, and worse than nothing: aiding and generating propaganda to justify it. COMPLICIT. COMPLICIT IN AND PARTY TO GENOCIDE.

I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact a star wars trilogy made in the 2010s managed to feature more abuse apologia and the “it’s a woman duty to fix a man” bs than a trilogy made in the late 1970s-early 1980s.

And equally as important as the aforementioned, considering everyone at Disney and Star Wars were patting themselves on the back for being inclusive and having poc in their main cast– I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact a star wars trilogy made in the 2010s managed to feature more racism and racial stereotyping than a trilogy made in the late 1970s-early 1980s.

And don’t forget that a movie trilogy made in the 2010s actively diluted the intense anti-fascist feeling and indictment of the clogged bureaucratic government that allows fascists to gain power of a trilogy made in the 1990s, and a trilogy made in the 1970s-80s.

it’s crazy when the protagonist and antagonist are character foils

we hate each other but you make me who i am

we are morally / philosophically / ideologically opposed but also fundamentally similar in ways that create a unique connection between us

Considering that Finn was part of the first order like Ben, it would've made so much more sense for Leia to have a mother/son relationship with him rather than Poe and I'll forever be salty that this relationship was never even slightly entertained or explored in the sequel trilogy. Finn deserved to have a mentor and it 100% should've been Leia.
