Star Wars Libertarian Special 

+Brandon Freeman Or a good guy with a lightsaber.

+carultch Or good guys with french space flowers, apparently.

I'm thinking that is a reference to Han Solo.

+Dave Davis It is a reference to solo, but more so to the change between special edition where lucas had greedo shoot first, because "solo should be like the good cowboy who shoots after being shot at" Lucas... obviously hes never actually seen a western movie.

+Brandon Freeman Blaster, not gun :)

That needs to be a thing.

@@pauldavis9387 wookieepedia is a thing

@@RadioStaring Wookieepedia but not Wookileaks

Free to Chewbacca got me!

@Michael Moretti Yeah, I caught that too. Pretty sure Mises would have called him a socialist.

@@michaelhanover941 he did in 1946. during a conference of economists where a young friedman was present , he yelled that calling them all communist then walked out looool

@@21stcenturycotyk lol, awesome.

Small problem, though. This is famously "long ago in a galaxy far far away", so Milton Friedman won't have been born yet for many years.

Lol ikr🤣🤣🤣

Jabba the Trump is going to be the mascot of my life

And I am here thinking that Dyson Spheres are meant to encircle a sun for its power generation and not planets. But I guess I am a dummy for not seeing its potential as a planet-sized wall against illegal immigration.

@@Nauclerus plus Dyson Sphere is Star Trek.

@@jarrodskufcagaming5203 No, Dyson spheres are a real-world engineering concept that was thought up by Freeman Dyson, and then one later appeared on Star Trek.

I mean come on! Screw the gungons

Same here. Had there been more time, it would of even be funnier if someone mentioned, "kissed her own brother right on the lips."

I had to pause

To be fair, they didn't know about their family relationship at the time - Lucas originally intended for Leia to be Luke's love interest until scrapping that idea in favor of having Solo play that role.

And now incest is being considered "exploring sexual freedom" by the regressives lol

Up.

Thank you for making me die of laughter

I disagree. I think the Empire was founded on a monopolization of the Force by the State. :)

@@Rogue_VI Sith crave power over all else, so yeah it makes perfect sense.

*REPUBLIC was founded on separation of Jedi from the ruling senate.

Separation of force and state doesn't mean that those of the force are prohibited from participating in in the senate or that they are not allowed to base their policies on the principles of the Force. It only means that the Imperial Senate has no juristiction over the Jedi Council and the Jedi Council has no juristiction over the Imperial Senate.

That's true. Never thought about that.

"The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a blaster, is a good guy with a blaster who blasts first." there I fixed it for you

You forgot to say "no homo", though.

*lurks in verpine shattergun*

+MrSeagull I had to double check to see if it was him infact.

Yeah it sounds pretty good lol

+MrSeagull If I had just been listening to the audio I would have thought it was Rand and been very confused.

+MrSeagull I heard it from another room and thought that they had dubbed it from a speech. Spot on.

It really was

That was hilarious. Now I am waiting for "Social Justice Warrior Star Wars", Oh wait. There already is and it's called: "The Last Jedi".

Good, except the Red Menace is real. The Red Tide has swept over America. Writing from 2020.

Number 9: The rise of free markets The rise of rand I don't know maybe someone else can come up with something better but for now i got those

Don't forget the show The Libertarian

023achilles your ability to traverse time is impressive. I see you’ve been to 2020 before

+cristoballs That... that was awesome!

+cristoballs absolute wit.

+cristoballs Lol....Ford's Millennium Falcon.

+cristoballs - Well played!

+cristoballs comment of the year

Game of Thrones just reached that galaxy.

@@worsethanjoerogan8061 galaxy of thrones

you are part of a rebel alliance and traitor

Wookieleaks HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha ha haa haa haa haa haa cough! snort! Oh dear I've just puked up my lunch!

I agree. I think several people had to look and see if it was actually him.

+Free B Gary Johnson ran and won as a Republican

+Free B Rand Paul is the closest thing to a libertarian that is currently in the United States Senate. If Rand Paul ran as a Libertarian, he would have lost.

Dave Davis I must have missed the part where he was totally killing it in the GOP Primary... It's going to take a lot of time and effort to create a viable third party in the states but if someone as high profile as Sen. Paul would have run as a Libertarian, that would have gone a long way toward progressing the idea. I hate to cite a Democrat talking point here but it's all about the money. I understand that Third Party advocates are often preachy and generally insufferable to listen to, like vegetarians, vegans, electric car drivers, etc.so it is with absolutely Zero smugness that I say I voted for Gary Johnson this last election just to make a statement. The more people willing to make a statement, the less it becomes simply a statement (let alone a choice between the lesser of two evils), and more the actual will of the people.

+Free B Yeah, but what about Ron Paul? Do you believe he's not a Libertarian?

“Cornpop was a bad dude, and he ran a gang of bad Sith.”

+Andrew Denson Eminent domain, or expropriation (as it is called in my country) is a prime example of environmental destruction and it is done by the government!

The true protagonist of the Star Wars saga.

except the CIS were corporatist, not libertarian

The droids will rise again

Tjitze de Boer There were heroes on both sides. Padme was friends with a Confederate.

Tjitze de Boer Space Confederacy Pride!

The Anarcho - Fascist that's just because most libertarians haven't actually read Adam Smith or they wouldn't be libertarians

Lucas Pompey Because Adam Smith is some type of classic economics and the libertarians read Austrian economics.

Joufa Xerxes exactly. Adam Smith believed in open markets, not free markets. He was a devout Christian who believed markets should be regulated with the principles of Jesus Christ

Yeah Should've had Darth Vader tell Luke I'll give you an invisible hand whap

@@gardenerofthegalaxy He also believed in the labor theory of value. Neither libertarians nor orthodox economists believe in that.

+Ken Abbott But lets be honest. Jar Jar Binks was living on that planet at that time and its infested with Gungans.

+Kevin Smith If he's not the sith lord.

Kevin Smith "But meesa identify as a wookie. why you no using meesa proper pronouns. Yousa must be transphobic."

You laugh now, but google "otherkin"

Exactly what I was thinking.

True, cuz it only took how long for free enterprise to build the X-wing fighter that destroyed the Death Star???? And the X-Wing is not bloated and accomplishes its intent - to shoot stuff. I mean what probably started as a huge gun ship growing to a whole planet to house a single "gun"?? Obviously a pork project benefitting may planets in all galaxies and their politicians....

+EDTHEWATERGUY I see what you did there. Well played.

EDTHEWATERGUY "use the Force, Luke, but only when defending yourself or others from a greater or equal force."

Knowing the most important battle of the biggest civil war of our time should still be possible if you want to be President. He deserved the mocking he got.

Cringed so hard when he was being mocked for it on Hillary-shills talk shows. I'm a Syrian native From frkn Aleppo If that's of any value to mention

They were talking about domestic issues when they did a bootlegger turn into Aleppo. Which could have been ALEPO.

Ok maybe he was trapped, that's what media does to any single person who wants that job but isn't part of the "chosen". Now, you guys seriously expect someone running for the White House to not be aware of international affairs simply because his politics are domestic-oriented?

Omar Griff you realise we dont want you here right. Even if you agree with us we still want you deported

John Logue Change that with Murray Rothbard and its me in general.

+Golbolco Good catch. The copy editor is already on his way to the Sarlacc Pit.

+ReasonTV is the copy editor equipped with a rocket pack? If so he might escape one day.

+Shaza Maza Where's your proof?

***** So you're saying Snowden is working to benefit the NSA?

+Shaza Maza "all while never being molested by the authorities" Why do you assume the state is so omnipotent that its employees know all the time whenever they have the opportunity to seize someone? Never assume malfeasance when incompetence explains everything. "it's a disinformation campaign to make people think the NSA is NOT part of all American social media/tech companies" Everyone knows those companies willingly and happily volated their agency duties by giving the government client information, if not regretfully doing so because they were threatened with regulation. Only an idiot would ever conclude that they had no voluntary involvement with the NSA. So what you are describing would be a very useless "campaign".

Same 👍🏻

Same here!

+Carl Carter That section and the whole style it's done in is a nod to the "Free to Choose" series with Milton Friedman. For me personally, the spark that led me down the libertarian path.

+Carl Carter Milton Friedman Free To Choose Videos. You can watch them on RU-vid. They are glorious.

+Prelucid Should've been "Free to Chewie"

+Prelucid Wow! I wonder how many people got that reference! And who would have thought the Imperial Broadcasting Service actually aired that special too.

That was genius, but like, how big was the original audience even? That's such an in joke

This is pretty much it. Honestly Star Wars is already Libertarian

+Smith Smithersonn It was the "Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic". The Republic were super statists.

Actually, the Rebel Alliance is inspired by the Vietcong and Palpatine's main inspiration is Nixon.

613 We have to see about the new ones, but the first 6 are basically an allegory for Nazi Germany. The republic, as good as they strived to be, held too much power and was easily corrupted by Palpatine who was given power rather than resorting to stealing it. So even though the Empire is obviously authoritarian, if the republic can fall by merely one bad leader, than you can be sure it holds far too much centralized power. It's more than globalist, it's... galaxy-ist? But the rebels are different being only an alliance rather than a government.

+Carlos Rodriquez Darth Vader did nothing wrong.

+Dresden Clark Graves lol

Lol if only

This made my Friday. Have an awesome weekend, everybody. :)

MGGA = Make Galaxy Great Again! Is that a Red-Hat? or a Red-Shirt?

And SWTOR!

He flip flops like crazy! First he was a Jedi, then became a Sith! He supposedly lost all his memories and Bastila Shan is vouching for him, but I'm not buying it.

+George Cataloni Don't forget, he endorsed palpatine.

+Conor Jackson nah its rand, because they were making fun of rands fillibuster on drone strikes in the beginning

+Tyler Rosentreter it's both.. Cause they referenced the old magazine thing from one of Rons newsletters (which he never wrote mind you).

+daxdigitalus No he never endorsed Palpatine! Where'd you get that bit of idiocy from? CNN(Coruscant News Network)?

These guys are libertarian, which is right wing.

It’s pretty easy to make an argument supporting facts

And they need to kill the Lleppos.

Milton Friedman's Free to Choose

The Modern Hermeticist I have 2 Tuscan freinds

+Tnu1138 This is not the spelling error you are looking for.

Just had to point it out because I see this mistake made all the time.

lightsaber. One word.

you're spellchecker isn't programmed with galactic basic in mind. a simple web search would tell you it's one word.

+Tnu1138 Made up words can have as many spaces in them as one likes. Shit, it was only a century or two ago that people just spelled things however they liked, including their names.

2:08 'then, I'm gonna have you read a LOT of Milton Friedman...' hehehe

+Haytham Connor not really, Friedman is sub par compared to rothbard discoveries, and who the fuck are you such an assumption?

+Haytham Connor that's Kool tell your dumb shit to someone else

+Vincent Pickerill This guy is your average Rothbard fan

lol

Snapple Pink Lemonade Friedman did way more for economics than rothbard, i dont think a single economist had ever done more for economics than him, with an exception of smith obviously

+irllcd13 no non libertarians are insane

+Thindorama I'd say "few" Libertarians are insane.

what's your reasoning

+Jon Yusko My guess: his "team" says all Libertarians are crazy

+irllcd13 Non libertarians are insane
