sometimes i read posts on this site, and i think that this whole capitalism == bad phenomenon started recently. but then i read this poem.
Little Boxes
by Malvina Reynolds
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses all went to the university Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same, And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry, And they all have pretty children and the children go to school And the children go to summer camp and then to the university Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
and it's from the 1950s.
Capitalism was always awful; we just aren't prosecuting every single person who voices criticisms of it.

i've never heard of the KOTOR2 track. i should go and listen to that.
The Luke vs. Vader theme is actually pretty good though it's not a favorite for me. Anakin's Dark Deeds/I'm So Sorry is my favorite piece of Str Wars score, and Across the Stars is godly.
what are all your guys' heretic star wars music opinions? of course, we love and respect john williams, but what are the real meaty, gets-you-excommunicated-from-fandom opinions? i have LOTS of opinions, particularly ones that will probably get my ass kicked.
conservative gun-advocate christians are absolutely hilarious. i'm rewatching daily show videos on my sick day, and listening to this person, with 100% certainty and sincerity, saying that the best solution is to bring back Jesus into schools, and not you know, BANNING GUNS!
Ik in canon Rex was endlessly loyal to Anakin and the same was with Cody and Obiwan, but I have the hc that Rex was loyal in a hesitant way. That he has more critiques about Anakin and that he kept pushing down his frustration because it was his duty to serve and follow anakin.
my hc that Rex has a lot of critiques about anakin that he keeps quiet about also extends to ahsoka. Ahsoka is learning most from anakin--and in the beginning, she's a wreck bc she's inexperienced but the toll her inexperience is taking on the 501st is something rex hates. anakins recklessness and impulsivity comes with at least a few more years' life experience. his daring battle plans come with more thought. ahsoka's insecure and trying to be like him, so she mimics him a lot (we see this in canon). but she keeps getting soldiers killed and rex doesn't feel like anakins "be patient please think" or her Temple punishments for disobeying orders are enough to really drive home the fact that people are dying.
this doesn't mean he's hard on her, he's conflicted bc of rank and what would potentially be crossing the line regarding trying to help her himself without stunting the necessary growth she needs to become a better war leader
“good god, i make one post about my liberal views and i'm suddenly getting conservative anons about how guns are good and how guns totally aren't the problem.” Welcome to the internet, opinions have consequences. Don’t like it? Don’t post stupid shit.
lovely respected compatriot, kindly refrain from sending meandering insults that have been consistently disproven.
