It’s been 30,000+ days since the start of the war, I think it’s ok to have a (dark) sense of humor about it. None of us were in it, caused it, or killed anyone in it.
Move forward.
“Haha remember that time we tried to conquer you? Don’t worry. Our Neonazis don’t have control of the government yet” is not “dark humor” from a warship in your territory.
The only real defense would be them not being called stormtroopers in the German translations, which I suppose is possible.
Second best is “I’m just a nerd and an idiot.”
I’m pretty sure that the Germans were joking around and calling GB The Empire… Since ya know, they were an empire, kinda the largest one at one time…
While I agree that Star Wars is indeed a serious matter and not to be taken lightly, it is, in fact, fiction.

Germany Suspends 29 Police Officers for Sharing Racist, Far-Right Material on WhatsApp
It’s not like Germany surrendered and then all the fascism went away the day after. Occupied Germany remained a deeply fucked state well into the 1970s. And the hollowing out of the East German economy, following unification, only threw gasoline on the dying embers of far-right extremism.
Catching a bunch of German Navy guys blasting the Imperial March just reminds folks of how close the apple fell to the tree.
Germany isn’t the birthplace of fascism, nor is it the only place it exists today.
Let it go man.
I mean, Britain & France have a tunnel connecting each other now, should they still be bitter, because you know, slaughter through history? Or are my sensibilities just too soon for you?
Zoom Out, it’s a big wide world.
ain’t it ironic that my immediate thought was commentary on the british government, rather than, you know, that part of german history
Better choice than Wagner
Well Germany is where Stormtroopers come from, right?
Wow that’s an old one, I have seen that since probably 2005-2006? Did you have it to hand or go looking for it specifically?
I like this music better
Youtube doesn’t let you download hardcore porn anymore. It’s the Superman theme, which you can find for yourself.
