Remember that this country was founded as a rebellion against taxes. We need to bring this attitude back into the social conscious.
Yes.
INFLATION IS THEFT
Just imagine. A gold /silver backed currency, no inflation, and no taxes. The prosperity that would spread through everyone in the US. All I've ever known in my lifetime is the system we are in now that got worse and worse the older I got.
Agreed.
Imagine folks actually producing like they did once. The vigor that comes with hard work and actual uninterrupted yield from that work.
You are giving me a chub #nohomo
A word where you can actually earn your keep. Instead of having it siphoned and stolen from you more and more each day through various means.
Also: the Civil War.
(The War Between the States; The War of Northern Aggression)
The Rebellion of 1860. Lost Causim is not the way. Linking an actual rebellion to a legitimate revolution just makes us look like history denying morons.
When we were kids and had taxes explained to us, I think most people’s reaction was that it seems like a wrong thing to do. It takes indoctrination and convoluted rationalizations to make people accept the ridiculous premise that you owe labor to the state.
Term limits would make 💯 % difference to rid us of the career gov’t oligarchy.
This is the way.
I remember when I first learned about taxes via sales tax on an item purchased. Less than 10. My father explained it was for the Government. He followed with a vague description of what it was this Government. Vague is still what it vague. You don't have a real.clue what they are ever doing with your blood, sweat and tears lost earning money.
Underground bases. Moon bases. Home base with children.
Hey...they’re SPECIAL? Just ask them.
When I look around at all the vaxxed & masked it makes me wonder - would they all side with the emperor?
Wake normies. Rise.
I only ever saw one side wearing masks and they weren't the good guys.
You KNOW they would ☝🏼
Taxation is extortion, which is theft.
We pay the “elected” to try and kill us. What a relationship.
Oh! So that's the plot of Phantom Menace. I watched it 3 times on opening day and none of it makes any sense. Star Wars should have ended in 1983.
That's when I quit watching it all, so concur. 👍🏼
Whisky rebellion FTW!!! I wish more people felt this way. Government was meant to fund itself through trade and never off the people.
We GOTTA get back to that!! Brandon gotta GO.
Yesss. Love it!
Except the rebellion were not the good team in star wars.
The rebellion is what forced the republic to reform into the empire in the first place in order to deal with the threat that the rebels brought.
Also, the light side of the force is an ancient mystery religion who needs to recruit children, remember when Yoda says that Annakin (~8 ye old) was TOO OLD to train?
The counter point is that the empire is filled with "evil looking" characters, like how Palpatine resembles the pope for example.
I know there's like 50 books in the star wars series, so I'm talking specifically about the movies.
It's been a while since I've watched them, would need to rewatch as a refresher. (It really is an overrated series though)
The main point as that goes is that it is presumed to be occurring in a vacuum, but when you pay attention to the subtext it's at best not so simple.
I think you're mixing real life and fictional universes, and I don't think you're gonna have a good time doing that.
My concern is that you're only taking the side that represents the exact opposite of reality, and I'd hope that you'd understand me not being able to produce a sufficient amount of patience to be able to digest your fantastic claims.
I'm not going to read 50 star wars books, and neither should you.
No no... as I said, it has been some years, but rewatching the series with someone who is less excited about space sci-fi, it made me realize that the rebels are "good" in imagery and the empire evil in imagery. In their actions, the rebels always act as aggressors.
Even down to who shoots first, takes the first swing of the sabre, etc.
Remember, this is a Hollywood production, we should expect bastardization of values if not outright degeneracy promoted. The whole series is overrated because it was peak special effects and nostalgia maintaining it.
Yeah, this is like thinking that parents of students are terrorists just because the government said so. And all of stupid cowards just kind of go along with what the government says, because they're stupid cowards.
You're saying that oppressive government overreach isn't consequential so long as it doesn't actually fire a shot, or "swing a sabre" as you say.
It's like saying I never commited violence against you, and if I bind your hands behind your back and relegate you to a cage for the rest of your life, and then crying out in pain as your family tries to liberate you, I say that "the bad guys won! They broke the law!" When you were the ones persecuted and imprisoned.
You're kind of outing yourself. Enjoy your free speech while you can. While you don't defend it, you choose to chip away at its edges, and after a while, it'll be gone for us both, after your foolish efforts.
Not at all... ironic that you were the one suggesting I was applying the story to real life.
I'm also not saying that analogy is wrong, actually at face value the creation of the empire can easily be framed as a false flag against the republic.
I get you're a fan of the series, it had alot of nostalgia value, and didn't hate the prequels it really did take until I tried to get my wife into the movies that I caught the extra subtext.
The Jedi are not quite the victims like the count of monte Cristo.
You're really goading me into a conversation about a fictional universe aren't you?
The Jedi were meant to be mediators of the force, but were perverted into a police force for the Republic over many generations. Police parallels anyone?
Besides that, I'm afraid I'm much more interested in the stories of the real world.
The prequels really messed up the Jedi. In the original, Kenobi wore desert robes because he has hiding on Tatooine. It wasn’t supposed to be a Jedi uniform, which would undermine him hiding. In the prequels all of the Jedis in ultra-urban Coruscant are wearing desert robes. Makes no sense.
Jedis were supposed to be knights, not monks. Medieval knights were expected to marry and raise the next generation of guardians of the realm. The prequels’ rule of no Jedi parenting was foolish, especially when the goofy midichlorian angle implied that sensitivity to the Force has a genetic component. The Jedis should’ve been encouraged to have kids, especially if there was a ban on cloning. They could’ve explained that Kenobi never had kids because he felt he failed as a father figure to Anakin, and because he was watching over Luke.
The Clone Wars should’ve been about illicit clones of Jedi. Imagine Kenobi fighting a younger version of himself, and having to rely on his experience and the light side to defeat the dark force Kenobi. Would’ve been awesome.
You should take all of that up with George
That really highlights another set of reasons the Star Wars films are way overrated.
Something that disturbed me when I tried getting my wife to watch the series. When the special effects aren't as "wow" as when new, it's easier to notice the holes.
Understand, yet our “rebellion” is yet again about taxation w/out representation, eh?
Yeeeeeh, really unsure of what movie franchise you're going off of here but it definitely is NOT Star Wars.
Holy crap, dude...
Rebels are never good guys. Rebels have no legal authority, no moral justification, not under political law, not under natural law, nor under moral law, let alone divine law. Revolutionaries, resistance or freedom fighters, Patriots... now that's a different story.
This is the way.
In Star Wars, only the bad guys wore masks.
Song's full lyrics below... related story, a few years ago, I sold a golf club to Graham Nash. Took a picture of the receipt, but really should have just kept it 😒
You, who are on the road, Must have a code That you can live by. And so become yourself Because the past is just a goodbye.
Teach your children well. Their father's hell Did slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams. The one they pick's the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?" If they told you, you would cry. So, just look at them and sigh, And know they love you.
[Verse in the background:] Can you hear and do you care And can't you see We must be free To teach your children What you believe in, Make a world that we can live in?
And you, of tender years, Can't know the fears That your elders grew by. And so please help them with your youth. They seek the truth Before they can die.
Teach your parents well. Their children's hell Will slowly go by. And feed them on your dreams. The one they pick's the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?" If they told you, you would cry. So, just look at them and sigh And know they love you.
I sing, and that's one of my favorites 😎👍🏼
