"It doesn't matter what's true, just be a good person."
This is the most insidious lie that the West has swallowed.

To be terribly technical, Gene Wolfe actually explained how the other way around worked which is more messed up.
Honestly, I think this take is off.
The fact is there is a God in the setting of Star Wars. The God if The Force. The Jedi seek to align their will to that God, where the Sith seek to usurp the Greater Will and bend it to their command.
Also, Jedi are monastics.
The Jedi actually deserved to go extinct. Their entire ideology is inherently antithetical to life itself.
You’re not allowed to have attachments, show emotion, love anyone, be passionate about anything, or embody really any of the qualities that make a sentient living being a sentient living being.
Anything that’s life giving is attacked for being associated with the Sith, who would otherwise be completely correct about everything if it weren’t for their over the top cruelty and cartoonish villainy.
The entire core tenets of the Jedi Order almost perfectly match the late-stage liberal fantasy of a world where existential divisions are all papered over and everyone and everything is forcibly dissolved into a universalist soup managed by a supposedly apolitical priestly caste who wield absolute power while lying through their teeth about how they’re just defenders of democracy.
And like all Liberal orders, the Jedi are so dogmatically committed to the false promise of universalism, neutrality, proceduralism, and “balance” (aka not taking your own side) that they can’t see any existential threats until it is far too late.
I'm a big fan of the prequels and tend to enjoy them more than the OG.
That said I can understand why Gen X didn't like them. There's a huge genre shif. OG are mystical adventure movies. Prequels are Sword and Sandel like Ben Bur.

A few years back I decided to watch the Hobbit movies to see if they'd get the Prequels treatment.
On a second watch the Hobbit Films are kind of half and half. It's not modern slop, but the seeds were there. But sandwiched in between slop are some genuinely good scenes.
Yeah but let's be real, Millennial culture did not idealize guys like Anakin. Whether you like it or not, Anakin is much closer to the Zoomer self perception.
In the better moments of the millennials, we wanted to be Obi-Wan, not Anakin.
It is true that all Christians share in the bond of Christ and his baptism.
That isn't the problem with this tweet. The problem with this tweet is to act like that invalidates the physical bonds of family tribe, and ethnicity.
We are not creatures of pure soul.
