Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world??

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Please, no. I can't stand hearing Trump's voice for one second more.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can. Darth Sidious was horribly evil, yes. but he was also fairly competent in his mechanations. Trump is utterly incompetent.

fElon is no way as cool as Darth Maul

Darth Maul is a tragic figure who was manipulated and used, while not necessarily good he had redemption by having a strong morality and ethics.

He watched his brother be manipulated and twisted in the same way and cast aside.

By the time he died. Obi Wan was the only friend Maul truly knew.

All this said he’d cut his own legs off, for a third time, if he knew he was being compared to musk.

Ray Park deserves better.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Only friend? He tried to kill him. Again. And died for the attempt.

Fuck that, don't compliment these buffoons.

I would love to hear about Darth Maul's side story where he is addicted to ketamine and also how he got into the dark side due to his father's lightsaber cristal mines or something.

I get irrationally angry that those people are not even cool, they are just junkie losers...

And how Donald Trump started his career as a senator in order to manipulate global politics and create a proxy war so that he could consolidate power.

Inversely, this picture could only be accurate if Sheev were a useful idiot put in place by Tarkin to facilitate keeping the Empire Party in power long enough for the banking klan to gain complete regulatory capture, with assistance from the owners of the holonet

I have to assume this is the plot of the upcoming Shadow Lord series.

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

But it's drama, Darth Maul turns to the dark side because his wife left him and his kids hate him.... That sounds very cool.

I always thought Musk was mocking the Kennedy painting:
