Are they sentient? The above qualities describe sentience to a certain degree. Do plants feel grief? Do they feel fear?

Did that happen here, or are you projecting that onto others?

If by “here”, u mean lemmy, then yes. They were hexbear ppl.

As for supporting cooperatives, you’d be a Market Socialist, so not a Communist, but not really liberal either.

Socialism is the transitory state to communism. I believe in the communist utopia and I believe that this cooperative kind of market socialism will lead us there.

As for the question of Reform or Revolution, it’s pretty clear by this point that Reform might as well be impossible.

I would disagree there. I would love to explain why, but I’m really tired right now to type much stuff out. Ik it’s a cop out. I’m sorry.

As such, the majority of Socialists are Revolutionary, so you have more fringe views.

Eh… Most socialists where I’m from have such views. MLs are in fact the rarity in my experience offline.

I got called a liberal for wanting to support cooperatives. I got called a liberal for not wanting to participate in an armed socialist revolution.

I’ve largely seen the word “liberal” being used by tankies to dismiss the opinions of all people that they disagree with.

Eh just block the tankie instances. That problem goes away quickly!

Not the person u replied to.

Of course I like criticising actual liberals. I just don’t like criticising socialists who don’t like to go the tankie way whom u call liberals.

Calling it, Sol is a Sith. He was Qimirs master, then Qimir somehow left (yes: somehow, Qimir left!) and Sol has been trying to convert another Padawan to his cause ever since.

Now that would be a hell of a twist! Qimir is clearly not the master. He still feels a lot weaker than what I expect a full on Sith Master to be like. Also, he says that he wants a pupil instead of an apprentice. I expect the actual Sith Master to be revealed at the end. It would be really cool if it was Sol himself.

Also, see how Qimir killed all Jedi that saw his face but didn’t really run behind Sol much? I dunno…

Animals (cows in this case) feel pain, fear, grief and so on. Plants don’t. We can survive just fine without murdering millions of sentient animals.

Killing dogs and eating their meat is animal abuse. Doing the same to cows isn’t. Quite hypocritical if you ask me.

Awww so cute! Now lemme murder this beautiful creature so that I can enjoy a good steak for myself! In no storybook would I ever be considered the villain! /s

WHAT AN EPISODE!!!

Episode 4 was absolutely amazing! The acting has improved (the conversations between Osha and the padawan girl felt incredibly natural). And do I need to talk about the ending?

SPOLIERS AHEAD

How was the Sith? guy at the end so fkin powerful lol. One flick and he can send everything flying away? Jeeez… Also, is this guy Mae’s friend? Uk, the one accompanying her everywhere. Would explain how he got there so fast. Also, what is his motivation to set Mae up? Does he just want to kill a few Jedi? Does he want to turn Osha to the dark side or something (uk, after seeing how he eyed her and didn’t kill her)? Isn’t Osha actually weaker in the force when compared to Mae? I’ve so many questions lol. Also, props to the designers of this character! His mask is SO CREEPY.

Really can’t wait for the coming episodes.

Man the Star Wars fanbase is shit. SO INCREDIBLY TOXIC JEEEEZ. The people here on Lemmy seem to be waaay more chill tho. I absolutely LOVED episode 3. The music (which many found cringe for some reason) is what I loved the most honestly. The ascension scene was ART imo. I genuinely don’t get the hate for this show.

A note about the ascension scene: When the leader witch says, “we were at the brink of extinction”, one of the witches does that crazy maniacal witch laughter. I was weirded out a little in the beginning as to why she would do that. But when you think about it a little, this is exactly what the witches are. They’re different and weird, which is why they were ostracized by society and hunted down (as per the show). I see them as that cringe group of students that are present in every classroom. The others find them cringe, but they are actually very chill people. Unfortunately, because of their so called “cringeness”, they are bullied a lot.

As for the ending, OF COURSE the twin didn’t burn the fortress down on her own. That is LITERALLY what the first two episodes were about lmao. Why would the 10 year long meditation Jedi guy commit suicide then? Why would the other dark twin (forgot if it was May or Osha) go on a hunting spree against these particular Jedi?

Are people hating this show just because it is “woke” or something? Like… the witches aren’t even actual lesbians. Like… you can’t have homosexuality if heterosexuality doesn’t exist, right? It would just be… sexuality sexuality I suppose. I genuinely can’t see how this thing was “woke”. Or was it because the leader witch was black or something? Would people get upset about that NOW? Come on…

I also loved the leader witch… I think the actress portrayed her role very well! She definitely gave off those comforting motherly vibes…

Disclaimer: Fuck Trump.

That being said, convicted “criminals” should still be able to run for any public office in my opinion. A tyrant CAN capture the judiciary and imprison their political opponents. This is in fact what happened in the Indian elections right now. This is in fact what happened in the US elections in the early 1900s, where a socialist candidate ran for President from prison. What was his crime? Striking when the State had deemed it illegal to do so.
