Hey guys, I hope that, by this time, you've read the story Fury wrote(if not, return to the main page and click on the link 3 provided). I, for one, can see the logic in it(whether I agree or not is an entirely different post  ). And, I've got a few things to add to it  For one, the Empire can be compared to the British Empire of colonial times.  This empire, though opposed(unlike the SW Empire), rose to massive heights of power through intense repression of all others who served under it.  Do we, today, consider this evil?  We consider it to be wrong, certainly, but not evil. This is because it was an established government, one that had taken on and defeated the other.  Therefore, Darwinism insisted that it was better.  In this way, we can derive a literal comparison of the Empire to an RL Empire. Enjoy

I feel reasonably confident in saying that the link leads to an online newspaper article which was written by someone who is not Fury.

Um...it's pretty obvious that I didn't write it, seeing as I've blabbed my actual name in channel more than once over the years.  I just located the article and passed along the link to folks in IRC. So much for that durned Pulitzer.

Hey, I had no idea who it really was, I just wrote Fury's because that's what 3 said  Fury, we all know that you're not that creative

Ah, yes. As we see now, the Empire was a democracy that ceded its power to a smooth-talking tyrant. How reminiscent of so many failed democracies ... Rome, France, Germany. And if anyone fails to see all the resemblances between the Empire and Nazi Germany, they're smoking crack, or something.

France?  Hey, everything Napoleon did was backed up by an overwhelmingly positive vote by the French people.  He pissed off the people in every other country, but the people he really worked for(and that voted him into Emperorship three times...) loved him.  Nazi Germany I can see, but not that one
