minus-squareessell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·1 年前She was a leading figure in a paramilitary organisation, both before and after the death of the emperor. So, maybe?
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 年前Yeah, you’d think that would be exactly what she wanted.
minus-squareNewDark@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 年前What do you think the United States is more like? A guerilla insurgency or a miltaristic empire imposing its will on the rest of society?
minus-squareNewDark@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 年前Literally the whole first trilogy is an allegory for the Vietnam war where the US is the empire
minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 个月前I think he was saying that the US began as am insurgency.
minus-squareNewDark@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 个月前Good point and interpretation. Didn’t think of the language as a progression in time instead of a ranking.
minus-squareNewDark@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-21 年前So Leia isn’t a great analog. Maybe a Vader / Palpatine election would be closer to reality I misread that, hold up. The United States of America spends more money on it’s military than the next 10 countries COMBINED. The United States has ~800 military bases all around the world in foreign countries. This doesn’t sound like an empire to you?
