thoughts, opinions ?

on?

on Jedi-ism

special snowflake fake religion nobody actually practices, based on a movie with really simplistic power ranger morality straight outta DC comics

how about goth people ?

depends on the person

goth is like "electronica," you gotta specify

i see

cyber goth

not super familiar with them

I know they have a lot of rave overlap, I stay away from that stuff

and I personally am not into cyber anything

cybergrind

I like victorian crap a lot more

I mean... everyone who wears a lot of black and grayscale and tends to see the darker side of things has at some point been called a goth and not been able to effectively deny it

one thing I'd look at is what they actually /do/ that is "goth"

like are they going to clubs, reading/writing depressing poetry, a certain kind of music, are they into S&M, is it just fashion, etc.

you can find goth forums out there that are entirely into some Cure-like 80s niche version of it where if you don't look like edward scissorhands and wear their exact 80s getup and listen to their 3 approved bands and nothing else, you are a normie

I think "goth" is kinda like altright in that it's mostly a label imposed by others/outsiders

especially if you aren't in some stinky themed club every friday and it's just your general look/mannerism

Star Wars does not have a simplistic morality m8

That's the entire point of the OT

yes it does

No it doesn't

jedi are power rangers who are into democracy and equality and celibacy

not at all

basically leftist catholic monks

That is the Prequel Trilogy

not even close

well if you get all extended universe it's murky and political (i.e. good)

They're much closer to Taoist monks.

The Jedi are about as far away from Catholicism as one can be

the unconventional aryanism of star wars

Anybody who says that Star Wars is sci-fi misses the point of Star Wars entirely

@rebekka888 What the fuck is Jedi-ism

The Jedi are effectively Taoist monks

So you might as well ask for thoughts on Taosim

ok, what are thoughts on taoism and buddhism ?

@Spinal @Mother GOOD IDEA

Excellent guiding philosophies that can easily be misinterpreted as egalitarian crap.

and often are
