i do feel like there should be more openness for like. some political leniency
as in, it’s okay that a lot of us have differing viewpoints!! obv i’m not talkin “homophobia is ok” being a valid viewpoint but like. idk my political stance on certain subjects and the nuances thereof fluctuate almost CONSTANTLY. i cant expect everyone, even just all my friends to be 100% on the same page as me
it’s good to talk about these things and see if one viewpoint is more morally right than the other, of course; we should always strive for improvement. but acting as if every unrefined political standpoint is the same as being a Huge Bigot isn’t the way to encourage that open discussion and improvement
the trick to intrusive thoughts is not to try to resist em but like…..let them happen and dont fixate on them…treat them like an annoying friend who’s yelling random shit from the backseat like “hey you could stab yourself in the leg with those scissors” thanks timothy i could also not do that
Vader is not quite okay with the whole Imperial slavery thing, and Sidious gives him a nice rationalization to tell himself when he gets hit by those pesky doubts.
I’d like something like this to be replicated in the new extended canon.
I never once thought about how anti-slavery Darth Vader would be. It makes a lot of sense.
…….are they standing in the exact same place where Anakin had his last civil conversation with Obi-Wan?
“Do you really care about [group] or do you just feel guilty? Can you read this without feeling attacked? If you can’t, the implication is that you don’t really care about [group, which happens to include people I dearly love].”
You’re killing my mentally ill brain here, website.
