Not a day goes by that I forget about the 28,000–35,000 Palestinians that his class exterminated.
Biden and Netanyahu both deserve to be hung upside down from the scaffolding at a gas station.

His best known role is as a living weapon of religious zealots intended to take out a brutal dictator. This was shown as having no real effect because the material conditions weren't really changed so the people kept having to fight, sacrifice, and die.
His second most famous role was as a dangerously unhinged sadistic nihilist that canonically enjoyed the back and forth with his opponent.
His third most famous role was as the same kind of dictator that his first role would oppose. One that showed no qualms over killing anyone (kin included) in pursuit of power.
Just sayin': Not only should we attribute the features of characters to their actors, but even if that were wise, I don't think he's the guy.
I assume the big baddie from The Last Airbender who's name I don't remember?
The material conditions did change significantly with the destruction of the Death Star, as it’s destruction created an insane economic vacuum, power vacuum, military leadership vacuum, and undermined the entire doctrinal approach of the Empire. Plus while it is a Anarchist Theory, there is a little merit to the “Propaganda of the Deed” as an unintentional consequence of revolutionary action.
Further, major turning points in a war don’t instantly end it, just like how the killing of the tsar didn’t instantly end the Russian civil war. The Bolsheviks didn’t get to just clap their hands and say “Yay! The dictator is dead! War over!” Plus the emperor wasn’t even on the Death Star.

As a highly educated historian from another country, I can confidently state that Bill H. Harrison was the best president in American history.

I see a post containing Mark Hamill, I comment:
FUCK MARK HAMILL STUPID FUCK AI SCRIPTED AHH LOSER
Never actually seen any of his performances, so I know him solely as "insufferable twitter guy". To be fair, that doesn't narrow it down much.
Do libs put him on such a pedestal because they like the movies he was in or because they like his politics? At least the latter would make more sense even if I disagree.
They worship him because he was Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, and those movies are major cultural touchstones in the US. Oddly, he hasn't really been in many onscreen roles since -- his real skill is as a voice actor, and he's had the good sense to lean into that -- but in many people's minds that just identifies him more with the character he played back in the 70s and 80s. It's a very weird phenomenon.
I actually took a minute to look at a list of presidents and see how I would rank them, but I gave up. I would sooner just go with a tier list and throw them all in F.
