    they built another deathstar right? the first one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it and the second one was still being built when it was blown up

    the first death star was manned by the imperial army only people on board were stormtroopers dignitaries imperials so when they blew it up no problem evil punished

    the second time around it was not even done being built yet was still under construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of lot more manpower than the imperial army had to offer

    bet they brought in independent contractors in on that thing plumbers aluminum siders roofers

    in order to get built quickly and quietly they would hire anyone to do the job you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main

    all they know is killing in white uniforms

    all those innocent contractors brought in to do job are killed casualties of a war they had nothing to do with

    alright look you’re roofer some juicy government comes your way you got a wife the two kids in suburbia

    this is a government contract with all sort of benefits and along come these left wing militants and blast everything in a three mile radius with their lasers

    they did not ask for that they had no personal politics they were just trying to scrape out a living

      “Innocent contractors”

      Wtf 🤮

      In my book it doesn’t matter if you are building or operating the gas chambers.

        I’m a little surprised that this comment has gotten so many upvotes.

        Would you apply this same logic to the real world? For example, imagine if a manufacturing facility for Lockheed Martin or General Dynamics was bombed and thousands of working class Americans died. These people are building bombs that are being used in an ongoing genocide.

        Would you consider this a heinous terrorist act, or a noble strike in the fight for freedom?

            what about the restaurants that feed those workers? or the farmers that grow the crops? or the worker’s families

              Since you are maliciously leading it in this direction I will intentionally skip to the end.

              We should kill every human because we share DNA.

              Happy ?
