Check the scoreboard, loser - we beat the **** out of the Empire.

Your track record betrays you.

Oh, now we're in the sequel era?

Hey, where's the seat of your galactic government? Did it get blown up, by chance? Seems like having your planets explode under you is a thing with you Republicans.

By the way, nice kid you have there. Be a shame if something happened to him that made him join me.

The only thing more cratered and crumpled than the asteroid belt formerly known as Hosnian Prime is your Cripple-in-Chief's face. Have fun babysitting little Mr. "It's So Hard To Be Evil," by the way. We didn't want his whiny *** anymore, so that's just a weight off of our shoulders.

Ah, bigotry against the disabled and different-looking. The true ideals of the Resistance come to light. If you're not pretty and human, you get called ugly names.

If you're a bargain-bin Palpatine whose only ideas so far have been "Empire stuff but bigger," then yes. You deserve nothing but mockery for everything about your sad, gimmicky life.

How exactly DID Death Star 3.0 work out, by the way? Was that one an effective investment? Surely it wasn't just another super-expensive target that got one-shotted with a proton torpedo.

So you stand by your bigotry. At least you have some backbone. Those always snap so satisfyingly.

How's your little Society for Creative Anachronism meeting going, by the way? Cosplaying as the Rebellion, oh my. Must have taken you quite a while to come up with "Resistance". Sounds scrappy. Like a rodent.

Do you even have any ideas of your own, or do you always define your lives in opposition to those who are better off than you? Rebellion. Resistance. Pfft.

Were I as strapped for credits as your little club of bigots raging against the machine I'd be torn up about the loss of a single battle station. Sadly, for you, my pockets are deep, and full. Contrary to you, I don't rely on government handouts.

I just wanna say this, in response to a few comments ago.

Being mad at ugly sexist or racist jokes isn't "politics".

Women players getting made fun of isn't "politics".

We have every right to play this game without this BS going on.

Go ahead and keep throwing away countless trillions of credits on intimidation tactics that have been proven worthless time and again, in a desperate bid for power that you'll never be able to hold on to. The New/First Order has failed at every turn for the same petty mistakes, and that track record isn't improving any time soon.

Can't wait to blow up your new Super-Duper Star Destroyer. I wonder how hard it'll be for a silhouette 15+ cruiser to hit a starfighter in battle?

How's your figurehead princess doing, by the way? Still clinging desperately to her inherited authority as someone born better than mere commoners, I hear. I hope nothing too terrible happens to her.

It would be really hard for you to create a new, modern society instead of following someone for being born into higher class than you were. Developing beyond the political acumen of a yapping puppy dog blindly following its comforting mother figure will be quite the challenge, but I'm sure you'll be as successful at it as you have been at creating a lasting Republic government.

Hey, it lasted longer than the Empire. I'd say that puts us solidly ahead of you in government points.

I see that small victories are all you have worth celebrating.

Better than your enormous failures.

Rebel losses: two planets

Imperial losses: three planet-killing space stations with planet-sized populations, one galaxy-spanning government

We don't even know for sure that the New Republic is down & out until Episode 8 begins!

Ah, how easily you twist the facts. You don't dare to mention the recent loss of your New Republic government, what with your morale so brittle.

So readily do you hide the deaths on your side. It shows how eager you are to discount those who can't fight for you anymore. Those who remain must feel really proud in the face of such twisted cunning and moral cowardice.

Or do you not even care? Is that it. Did you understand the transient nature of your so-called government, and is that why you do not care about its destruction? Deep down you knew it wouldn't last. Deep down you were relieved when we took away the burden of having to pretend things would last for you. We did you a favor, and you felt thankful for it.

You're welcome.

@Stan Fresh and @Degenerate Mind, I beg you, pretty please... I'm begging you on bended knee... please take this to PMs. Or start a different thread. You're threadjacking this one, and I fear that my original point is going to get lost.

I... yeah, this has gotten a bit out of hand. Sorry.

@Stan Fresh Let's call it a draw.

Sure.

To be fair, the original post, if everyone stayed on track, would lead to arguments and the thread being locked. It was heading that way before the hilarious exchange of those two regarding Star Wars politics.

Their threadjack saved this thread.

Well that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Did you hear that, @Stan Fresh? We're heroes now!

Then again, the thread wasn't contentious until someone came in to imply wrongdoing on the part of the OP.

Fair enough. An RPG forum isn't the right venue for politics anyway.

It isn't?
Not that the OP would be about politics anyway.
But what is the right place to talk about politics when the topic comes up?
Apparently a simple discussion forum, a forum for discussion is not. Do we need to discuss politics exclusively in places like /r/politics?
