Emperor Palpatine claims he actually supports Rebels right before being thrown into the reactor core.

His politics are actually really weird and this isn’t that abnormal for him. He’s without a doubt a fascist but he’s claimed to be a communist for years while describing his views as the most techno-feudalist fever dream you could come up with
Highly recommend reading his wikipedia page
The Behind the Bastards podcast did a series on him and it is genuinely fascinating. I get the feeling that he’s a wannabe intellectual but because he made friends with Thiel in college he got pulled into tech rather than lounging around a bohemian flatshare in Berlin with his harem of mistresses.
Hey Alex, perhaps you’ve heard this phrase before…
We do not forgive. We do not forget.
I’m a bit of a progressive myself
As easy as changing your mask for a psychopath.
Temu Taika Waititi lookin ass
How dare you sir, some things are sacred.
Neither Temu nor Taika are sacred in this or any scenario.
Ass, whole wars have been fought over them.
The ass that launched a thousand ships
Ah yes, I remember the ass whole wars
After Thor L&T, all bets are off

Not not the onion. Typical billionaire bullshit
Doesn’t nearly everyone think of their own opinions as progressive? Is progress not something we generally consider a positive thing, culturally? So this is a somewhat meaningless story.
No, conservatives are by definition against progress. I mean, maybe they support something that they see as “economic progress” (as in growing the economy, not making it more egalitarian), but definitely not social progress. They specifically want to “conserve” the status quo or want to go backwards to how it was in the past, in other words, regression.

I had this conversation with my dad many years ago, because he’s not progressive- he compared culture to a herd of lemmings (I know it’s not really what they do) that might “progress” to an unsustainable place.
I don’t think so. I suppose just anecdotal but I doubt it. Everyone thinks of themselves as the good person in their story but that doesn’t mean progressive. Change=bad for many
So he’s taking a page out of the Democratic playbook?
I want to disagree but that description fits the aipac centrists.
