>I think you're dumb and a little insufferable for choosing this as your hill to die on,
This has been a conversation. An argument. If I'm being unreasonable by continuing it, so are you.
>At any rate I responded by asserting my view that what makes the conflict compelling is not that it's a good vs. evil story about the good Naboo people winning over the evil Trade Federation: it's a compelling tragedy about good people being duped by Palpatine
Right, and I said that the TF are not good people, are not interesting people, and the root of their conflict (because, remember, I began specifically by saying the aspect of the, "trade disputes and senatorial politics," were not compelling, without making any reference to all the other aspects of the plot you then brought up) was undercooked. I actually said that Palpatine himself was the interesting part, and that you could replace the TF with almost anything else, and that would not be diminished.
>You've kept saying "No, it's actually really simple" and have essentially been arguing "well it's a simple story about how the Trade Federation are the bad guys and the Naboo are the good guys, but it's not very compelling" and I've responded a few times reminding you that this is a story about Palpatine
The Trade Federation are lame baddies. The story is about Palpatine manipulating said lame baddies to his own ends. These two things exist together, without contradiction. I have described this, at length, multiple times, yet every time you come back and insist that it is some obscure take that I haven't quite reached yet
>At some point you started insulting me
Yeah, after you insulted me. (You) were the first to whip out the, "actually, you're just mad," nonsense. (You) were the one to call my posts, "blithering," "inane," "bullshit" etc. Don't you fucking tone police me when you're the first one to fall back on cheap insults, while I stuck to the fucking arguments, you conceited, illiterate fucking cunt.
