#coats chats #I am B E G G I N G the star wars fandom to learn anything at all about democratic norms in literally any other country #that is not the us. possibly that even IS the us. #you can vote for a fuckin political party without voting for The Person In Charge Specifically #direct election of every goddamn official is not the only form of democracy #please. I am begging. please if you're going to criticise polticis in star was please at least know anything about politics on earth first. #please. please. I am begging. please. #ther are SO many things to rightly critise abt poltics in star wars in unisverse from a watsonia OR doylist perspective #the fact that some planets seem to have uuuuuh poltically appointed positions is....not one of them........please....................... #this is not about An Specifc Post this is about a bunch of them I have seen over a span of time. #(also like more discussion of what an elected monarchy could even look like. #more discussion about how maybe basic is flattening nuances and is doing the romans refering to other gods things of like #'bro does lighting? well That's Jupiter. it's just [location]Jupiter.' #'bro's in charge? he's a king. they're all kings. king of alderaan now. king of naboo #king of the jedi. king of mandalore. king of the sith. these are all equvilant positions bc Bro Is In Charge and That's The Title #which is tbf just my unending agenda to make lingusitics in starwars make even a LICK of sense) #(disclaimer goes here I know more than I'd LIKE to know about the us poltical system but I don't know like. Everything about it. so. #y'know #my people do mandatory voting and demoracry sasuages and like. cover donkey voting in highschool In Case You Want To #our political cycle is like #idk 6 weeks. by law. and we all think that's So Fucking Long God when will it END etc. #anyway. more poltical nuances in star wars less UM NABOO/ALDERAAN/PLANET HERE is WHOLLY UNDEMOCATIC because they APPOINT A SENATOR #slash HAVE A ROYAL FAMILY slash Don't Perform Politics Like The US Does In My Head. #not to dunk on the us. I do love y'all. it's just that your poltical system is fucked and a lot more unlike uh the rest of us afaik. #so I am assuming many of the posts I've seen are from the us. #the idea that somewhere is not democratic bc a random goverment offical is appointed instead of elected is wild to me ok. #like ambassadors are appointed. that's basically what the senators function as in part. #ambassadors to the republic at large.)
