Yes; it's been floating around FB for a week or so.

Even got some conservative people, who rarely even think about SW stuff, sharing it around because of the messages relevance to the Biden Admin's fuck ups.

I'm getting flashbacks to people who thought Harry Potter was a source for wisdom that you could apply to your life...

 

[Urabrask Revealed]

Personally I find it dumb, like invoking Harry Potter or whatever. But if they want to use it, I can't stop them.

Which is part of what the Right needed Trump to reinvigorate it, and get it more pop culture savvy; young people are more likely to listen to shit from Harry Potter or Star Wars than from Locke, Aristotle, or Ayn Rand.

Trying to act like the old ways of reaching and communicating ideas/viewpoints/policies are as effective as doing the same with pop culture bits, that the youth may actually recognize and listen too meaningfully, is part of the Right's stubborn refusal to update much of it's political or social playbook.

To be fair, the Greek and Shakespearean classics were the pop culture stories of their time.

Yeah, they were; that time however was not even close to the modern age.

Clinging to the standards and paradigms of the past, at the expense of being able to actually communicate effectively with the youth (and thus future), is why the Right has always been playing catch-up to the Left in terms of pop culture and media savviness.

One of Trump's greatest assets was that he didn't have that brainbug, and understood th value of modern pop culture in politics.

I for one would rather listen to quotes from SW and the like then Aristotle

Making a small throwaway reference to Star Wars or Harry Potter is one thing. What was shown goes too far into cringe territory like the 'Hey kids' meme, or the guys who call the politicians they don't like 'Voldemort'(hell, I wouldn't say anything if it were the quote alone). But like Urabask said, if they want to use it, can't stop them.

Everybody has thier own personal tolerance I'm finding as it is, the message is still good whether you find the source cringy or not. The Jordan Peterson fans have made that clear to me.
