Right wing star wars fans probably love the empire and wish they were darth vader. Just because they like a piece of media doesn't mean that theyre interpreting it the way it was intended or the same way you are.

It’s also why they love the old Disney shit so much. Because in many of the old movies it’s the aristocracy who are being portrait as the good guys and who defend the peace from turning into anarchy.

Maybe we're not thinking of the same movies, but when I think of old Disney I don't see that pattern:

Snow White: an orphan girl, bullied by her step mom, flees into the woods to live with dwarfs, then becomes a princess because she's pretty.
Pinocchio: wooden puppet is given life by a fairy to reward its craftsman for being a good person.
Fantasia: artistic vignettes
Bambi: life of a deer.
Cinderella: an orphan girl, bullied by her stepmom, becomes a princess because she's pretty, with the help of a fairy who rewards her for being a good person.

To me it seems like the good guys are mostly attractive youths with a strong work ethic and no parents.

They love the Punisher, but perverted the purpose of the fictional hero

Alex Jones does exactly this. He’ll start talking about Star Wars, but it almost always turns into him doing a Vader voice saying he’s going to kill all the “globalists”. It’s a sight to behold, lemme tell ya.

It is like when Trump talks about Hannibal Lecter as his friend and a great guy.

Tell me Donald, does your face only look like a Cheeto, or does it also tastes like one? Let's find out, shall we?

Probably tastes like sweat, and tanning solution
