Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

This reminds me of my giant turd analogy.

Basically, there is this giant turd, its enormous, biggest thing you've ever seen Everyone is fighting and climbing over each other to touch thia turd. The more of your body that touches the turd the more you own.

At the bottom, people are barely getting a tip of their finger through the crowds to touch the turd, some cant touch it at all. They are poor or homeless.

As you move up the turd there are people with a whole hand on the turd, they are coping, they get by, pretty average amount of turd to be touching.

Some people have two hands on the turd and they do pretty well, quite well off.

Then theres those who are whole bodies in the turd, they are rolling in it, they have some put away that others can't touch. They are set for life.

But then, you look up, and its jeff bezos, elon musk et al. Sitting on the rim of a giant toilet seat in the sky all taking a massive dump...

Its a shit analogy but its accurate.

I guess it would be more concise to say the mega rich are eating chicken whilst the rest of us fight for the scraps that fall off the table.

Horse and sparrow economics is what they used to call trickle down. The more I learn about "economics," the more it looks like they are just lying to themselves ever since Keynes, so they can continue to be horrible people until we slap the shit out of them, and make them change.
