dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It's not an unfair description of the declining Republic (which almost seamlessly became the Empire), but I'm pretty sure Obi-Wan was opposed to it, just too much of a lib to do anything about it.

Being opposed to a system while being a general in charge of defending said system.

He never really actively made any choices intending to get there, though. He was raised into the Order from birth and just went with it to preserve the Republic, even though he clearly saw problems. As I said, a "lesser-evil" lib.

That's not a defense of him, though, lol. Actually, TBH, it's more of a criticism of Star Wars writing than anything else.
