>Here’s the sad truth: the false dichotomy between the Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force is just another indicator of the decline of Western civilization.
>But more than that, the Dark Side vs. Light Side nonsense prioritizes feelings over behavior. Hate doesn’t lead to evil. It depends on what you hate. Lucas says hate leads to suffering. Well, hating the Nazis didn’t lead to suffering. As Proverbs 8:13 says, “To fear the Lord is to hate evil.” And passivity doesn’t lead to decency. Gandhi urged the Jews to try passive resistance against the Nazis. That was moronic.
>Worse, the morality of the Force creates the worst sort of moral equivalence. It’s the same idiotic logic that leads every show these days to include some character chiding the prospective hero about not killing the bad guys, lest they become the bad guys. If you use hate to kill the Emperor, the Emperor has won, this logic goes.
>Really? What if you use hate to kill the Emperor, then turn around and don’t use hate on the civilians? Was it better to sit there in a cave while millions of voices cried out and were suddenly silenced on Alderaan? Wouldn’t it have been slightly better for Obi Wan not to have retreated to his cave monastery?
>The vision of the Force in the Star Wars galaxy is morality-free. It’s feelings-centered, which is another way of saying “selfish.” Who cares about your feelings? Go kill the Emperor using whatever means you have at your disposal. And it turns out that shooting lightning from your fingertips and Force-choking is a slightly more useful skill set than Jedi mind tricks that don’t even work on Jabba.

That is grade-A clickbait, in the non-meme sense. It's a ridiculous statement backed up by flimsy evidence about something currently relevant in the attempt to get people to click on it out of anger.
It's like, if you had to have an example of clickbait to accompany an encyclopedia of internet terminology, this would be an acceptable catch-all submission. Kotaku-style "why video game is sexism because reasons" and Buzzfeed-style "top ten anal fissures in hollywood" would be comparable.

Ben Shapiro is a whiny rich bitch who goes on and on how other races are shit but once somebody refuses to foot the bill for Israel's waterparks he goes on a big rant about anti antisemitism and how people are so cruel :(((
>>64242669
>hating the Nazis didn’t lead to suffering
Yeah, apparently 1945-1947 genocide of the German people in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany is not "suffering".
>Shapiro

Ben "Smear-o the queer-o" Shapiro has literally never been wrong about anything.

>>64243147
like the holocaust
>And as it turns out, in order to defeat the Dark Side, you have to get familiar with it. The dichotomy just doesn’t work, practically. When Luke Skywalker defeats the Emperor, he does it by exercising mercy toward Darth Vader – but only after letting the hate flow through him, attempting to kill the Emperor, and chopping off Daddy’s hand. When Darth Vader throws Palpatine down a shaft, does he do so out of pure love, or does he do so out of just a bit of hatred of the guy who’s busy Force-electrocuting his son?
>To understand the flaw of the Force as conceived by Lucas, we have to understand where the concept came from. Lucas drew the Force as a sort of Eastern wisdom; the Jedi speak like kung fu masters. Meanwhile, the experts in the Dark Side are supposed to represent the West – Lucas himself said that Star Wars was meant as a parable about the Vietnam War, and said that the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi were supposed to be the Vietcong against the massed mechanized power of the United States. No word on whether the Ewoks massacred hundreds of thousands of other Ewoks after taking over Endor.
He has a point, ya know.

JIDF please
>>64243239
Do you have any actual evidence these camps existed and were used as death camps?
>>64243262
it's quite easy to make a place civilized if you murder, imprison and forcibly relocate the native population, who don't live up to your personal brand of "civilized"
>>64242669
I agree. In reality, the Jedi were the evil ones, but used propaganda to brainwash others into believing they are the "light". They make child soldiers out of orphans they kidnap, and are guided by some ugly thousand years old monstrosity who teaches them that feelings, individuality and sex are bad, and that they must do what the Jedi deems to be the good thing. Their neglecting attitude pushed Anakin to the Dark Side. Fortunately, he brought balance to the force by eliminating most of the evil Jedi. Based Anakin.
Wuh-oh!

After the war Germans became the victims of genocide, it's a fact. Even if you don't count civilian losses due to bombings/shelling, starvation, etc, the death toll (mostly during a peacetime, mind you) is around 3 millions.

>official German government
The same government that bans talking about it
The same government that lies about refugees constantly
I'm not even denying the Holocaust per se, that's just a good reason why appealing to authority is a fallacy
Tbh retconning the EU means that all the actually interesting stuff about the Jedi not being as good as they liked to think they are. There was all kinds of stuff about how the light and dark sides aren't actually good vs evil so much as emotion vs calmness.
>The difference between the dark and light sides appears to be in how they feel to those who are aware of them. The light side at times has been described as a flowing river: soothing, constant, with hidden strength. In contrast, the dark side has been described as a roaring fire: obviously powerful, seductive, and potentially dangerous.
The reason why dark side users are more dangerous is because they are often controlled by their passions and lack restraint.
>>64243386

It werent "death camps", but it's still genocide.

If the German government lies about the holocaust, then why should I trust it about the "genocide of germans?"
Also, I don't see any evidence of extermination camps for mass murder of Germans.
And the actual number of Germans killed after the war was significantly (typically an order of magnitude) lower than the official lie of 2 million.

They liked Capitalists they just didn't like Jewish capitalists because they believed that German capitalists were successful by virtue of their strength and Aryan purity. Jewish capitalists on the other hand we wealthy because of their deception and exploitation of Germans. In addition they lacked loyalty to the German nation, and couldn't be trusted to remain loyal to the nation over the pursuit of wealth.
over analyzing and nitpicking, this guy should apply for a job at RLM
>>64243542
Based on the lack of evidence, I believe that the "german genocide" figures need to be revised downwards.

there was no jewish holocaust. The vast majority of jewish deaths in the camps were caused by malnutrition and typhus. Zyklon-B was a delousing agent used to COMBAT typhos.
What happened? Allied purposefully bombed the trainlines supplying the concentration camps, making it impossible to treat the typhos outbreaks and feed the inmates.
It takes only a few hours of research to completely debunk the holocaust myth.

Who is the pleb who wrote this?
Light side is more based on Buddhism.
Dark side is based on a mundane point of view (desire, power, anger, pain)
The first truth explains the nature of dukkha. Dukkha is commonly translated as "suffering", "anxiety", "unsatisfactoriness", "unease", etc., and it is said to have the following three aspects:
The obvious suffering of physical and mental illness, growing old, and dying.
The anxiety or stress of trying to hold onto things that are constantly changing.
A subtle dissatisfaction pervading all forms of life due to the fact that all forms of life are changing, impermanent and without any inner core or substance. On this level, the term indicates a lack of satisfaction, a sense that things never measure up to our expectations or standards.

Jesus was actually Lucifer faм. You've been deceived by the church.
Pretty blue pilled if you ask me. Hate, anger, and other negative emotions poison even positive actions. Adults shouldn't allow their feelings to dominate them. Read the Stoics, you faggots.
