Big “are we the baddies?” energy
It’s like they asked for mirror universe plus the Galactic Empire
Inspired by Starship Trooper no less…
OurMy government is run by people who don’t get that movie and that’s terrifying.No, they get it.
You know what’s really fucked up? Steven Miller claims to be a Trekkie.
I know he looks Ferengi, but I bet he smells like a P’takh

Hugo Boss at it again? Jeez
Actually AI slop, but it works with the most popular inspiration
That is really going to show off any belly fat.
And the boots? What the hell are those for?
Kegsbreath said no one is allowed to be fat so it’s all good
Hey some of us just really like boots OK?!
Being fash!
Guess who designed the Nazi uniforms? That’s right, Hugo Boss.
They made them. The designer was someone else however.
Could never tell, looking at this design.
Spacenazis
So that is what Starwars in Startrek would look lile.
Also once again: idiots not knowing that the empire is litterly modeled after the nazis
I thought the Empire was modelled after the USA?
No!?!? What gave you that idea? Because “big military force”?
Uhh, because George Lucas said so. The original trilogy is an analogy for the Vietnam war. Nazis were obviously an inspiration as well, but you can’t possibly look at the battle of endor and not see the vietnam parallel.
I think there was WWII motifs because at the time the original trilogy was being filmed, left over weapons, uniforms, etc were extremely cheap to buy and there was a lot of it available. Lot of material for low cost is always good for film.
low cost
Flashbulb handle? Nah, it’s a laser sword!
That’s really interesting! I don’t very often hear star wars lore i haven’t come across before
why not. Things cant possibly get any weirder. We MUST be living inside a simulation, right? Do you suupose everything going off the rails mean the simulation is about to be ended?
We’ve reached the stage of the simulation where the people running it have gotten bored and are cranking the settings to ridiculous extremes just to fuck with their Sims.
Replace “Simulation” by “Empire”, it make more sense
No just that the money is running out and everything gets recycled.
Needs more skulls.
This post makes the MASSIVE mistakes of:
-
Thinking conservatives would ever know the references to even begin to see the red flags.
-
Ever expecting conservatives to think the flags that they do see are actually red. The bad sort of red flag, anyways…
-
I can’t find this at the USSF fwiw.

Honor guard uniform:
Orange turd ate the onion. He reposted an AI slop memebait that at least had the subtlety to mention Starship Troopers.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/08/space-force-uniforms-starship-troopers/
so it’s basically the Air Force uniformDid you expect anything different? It started as Air Force Space Command spinning out into their own branch.
- looks cool
- boots
- starship troopers are unironically great - both movie and novel.
The movie was TOO good. Paul wanted to create a seductively fascist movie, he succeeded. But in doing so he made one of the greatest action movies of all time. It came of as “Sci fi adventure” when what he was trying to portray is how tricky and seductive fascism actually is.
