      I've been saying since gamergate that the alt-right is a reactionary movement of pissy white boys who can't get laid, and want to blame everyone but themselves. They want to frame their rejection as others taking something away from them, rather than looking in a mirror.

      That inchoate pain is *such* a potent lever to exploit. Find a group who feels that they’ve somehow been denied something, then offer them a narrative that affirms the “loss” of that “right” while pointing them at some superficially obvious cause of it. Boom! Instant rage army.

      Hate is always easier to cultivate than growth. Especially the sort of deep growth that demands opening up one’s wounds, and learning to sit with, and understand that pain. It’s terrifying. Even with loving, empathetic support. Without? Nigh on hopeless.

      Hell, I *was* one of those teens. Had my adolescent Internet been 4chan rather than The WELL, I could easily have fallen prey to such exploitation.

      It may seem trite to say this, but as I reflect on it now, I’m grateful I had “don’t give in to hate” (from the original #StarWars trilogy) so deeply ingrained from such a young age. It was a far better inoculation than the sexually repressed mess the prequels replaced it with.

      Yeah, I was one of those teens too. But the internet at that time (the dial-up days) was all about exploration and discovering, I channeled being a lonely teen into learning HTML and connecting with people who loved the same things I loved. I guess we were lucky.

      Wow, I'd never thought about the difference in the prequels in terms of the tone (the original trilogy being about hope and the building of a hero, the prequel trilogy being about an angry young man becoming a villain).

      Yeah. Neither had I until just now. I’m kind of chilled, tbh. The two trilogies impart such fearfully different messages. And GWL was too naive and out-of-touch to have even realized it. (Void, but I recall *so* many cringe-worthy GWL moments during dailies.)

      Most convincing argument I've heard yet for why the prequels should have been more serious, "adult" films. I always thought that was just aging Star Wars fans wanting a childhood fantasy to age with them. But by making the prequels kid friendly, he raised a generation on anger.

      And somehow utterly warped the original trilogy’s message (hate = the darkside, love & friendship = the light side, cf. @mikeyface) when he asserted that “Jedis must never love”. A bullshit concept that was 💯 responsible for creating Vader. /cc @radicalbytes
