Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There is logic in that music option. We should solidify that idea, make the Darth Vader music the main musical theme for posted video of ICE.
The Imperial March is too cool for these people. I'd go with Entry of the Gladiators.
Benny Hill
Yakity Sax is a great choice.
Just play it in A major, and it sounds like an old USian propaganda song from the '40s to '50s

I fucking love that he wrote that to be like WWE intro music, and it ended up being the main anthem associated with clowns. 🤣🤡
Or the Jaws theme.
Mannn I love the imperial March can’t we use something else? At least choose Wagner instead
It sounds cool, but if you don't know it's already associated with an evil authoritarian empire. A second one can't really do more damage. You can still like the song.
I mean some Wagner is already associated with the nazis lol
Edit I read your comment half asleep and did not understand. I guess I’d rather just have something goofy or musical shitty otherwise I mean having an intimidating piece of music seems like more of a rallying anthem than otherwise. I’m with the entrance of the gladiators option.
To be fair, Star Wars is a dystopia. Authoritarian Empire rules, with troops willing to vaporize entire planets to quell ragtag bands of protestors who eventually go military in their operations. There’s your organized antifa, the rebels.
It’s easy to parallel it because it’s an established archetype in life and lore. Authoritarian regime vs underdog rebels.
But with magic.
Parallel is a bit too weak a word. George Lucas has said that Star Wars is an allegory for Vietnam and the Empire is based on the US.
Damn.
Art mimics life mimics art…
I like entry of the gladiators for this purpose
We need a "...Valkyries", that's been arranged to sound like 5th grade band. Like a Wagner Shreds video. That would be perfect for this entire regime.
That would be nowhere nearly as effective.
And main star wars theme for people protesting this fascist bs? Absolutely.
