the wokest people you will meet are palpatine fans; the worst people you will meet are also palpatine “fans”
Would you fucking dare to elaborate????
basically, from my experience, people who are heavily invested in palpatine and deeply understand his character usually do not support him, but they understand him in a way that only someone who is aware of politics and the makings of fascism would get it. I guess “fans” is not the correct word but more like people who enjoy him as a character. When you truly understand his character, you will not believe he is in any way justified. On the other hand, there’s fanboys who try to claim he was right about the jedi, which is a blatant misrepresentation of star wars as a whole and basically means they watched the movies with their eyes closed. to make it short, the biggest understanders of his character are usually the exact opposite of him politically, while those who glaze him don’t understand him well at all
There are actually people who defend him? Like literally? Not role-playish, dark humor style? I thought it's obvious to everyone that palpatine is cartoonishly evil
