Ah, but you see, Mister Chapo, he is not from the Fasces region of Italy, so this is merely sparkling neoconservativism!

The “Tales of the Jedi” animated miniseries goes into this a little bit. Dooku started off as a political dissident after witnessing firsthand the levels of exploitation and corruption in the Republic once you got outside of the core worlds. While he was still a Jedi, he visited one of the worlds in the outer rim that had basically been plundered to nothing by industrialists and the various guilds (e.g., Banking Clan and Trade Federation) who wielded a disproportionate amount of power in the Senate. He and his padawan (young Qui-Gonn) were tasked with extracting a hostage from the “terrorists” on this remote planet, but he ended up sympathizing with their cause. This is why he left the Jedi Order shortly afterward, and tried to do a heckin’ entryism only to find out that political power does not flow from the barrel of a .

Since this is Western storytelling and we can’t have revolutionaries every be remotely sympathetic, this is why he had to do the hell-turn and something something hand-wavey reasoning, something something dark side. I guess the only explanation that makes any kind of sense there is that Papa Palpatine sold him on doing a little bit of adventurist accelerationism, with Dooku probably planning on taking down Palpatine (like you pointed out, maybe even with the clone army that Sifo Dyas commissioned) if he ever got the opportunity. Instead, he got caught up in yet another “Anakin Does a War Crime” story, and didn’t exactly come out ahead.

MFer should have read theory instead of being an idealist . Scratch a Dooku, and a Darth Tyranus bleeds.

What about Palpatine’s 180% tariff on the Wookiees?

If you manage to level up a skill during the day, you don’t get a penalty for passing out as long as it happens on your farm.

In 2017, I set out to write a collection of catty asides making fun of Karl Kautsky, only to realize that I’d been beaten to the punch by a full century

I had to sell off all the green beanis to support my fishing habit. Then I had to sell off all the fish to implement mass transit praxis in the Valley.

OK, we’ve gotta have at least one quasi-bougie pay piggie who bought the fucking thing already – this is more than just a re-skin, right? This is a full port to the Fallout 4 / Starfield vintage of the Creation engine with high detail models and full HD textures, right?

…right?!

Asking for a friend who will probably buy it for $15 on Steam sale in a couple of months.

Treats! Calvinism! Bazinga brains!

Sharon Osbourne stumbled ass-backwards into doing one good thing her entire life: introducing Ronnie James Dio to the remaining members of Black Sabbath after Ozzy quit to pursue a career as a nose candy sommelier. (Well, an even bigger one.)

Sharon has spent every waking moment of her life trying to undo any accidental goodwill that she may have earned ever since.
