Why the Malfoid and Anakin memes are a reflection of each other:
Both of these meme trends have overtaken the internet in very little time and both are aimed at young men. Some people may say that they are at odds with each other and are competing, some people (myself included) have shipped them for lols, but the very real part of it is the synergetic way that these memes embody the very real struggle of Young White Men.
The Malfoid meme started first at the end of September, and has taken off with no real end in sight (#malfoidforever). Why? Because it hearkens back to a time of Romance, of Courtship, of when the world was as simple as figuring out if the girl who is teasing you actually likes you. It has taken the Tsundere trope from anime (Quite teasing me Miss Nagatoro and many others) and ported it into a beloved Western fictional series. And very well at that. In many ways, it does improve the lore of the original story. And does it more respectfully than HBO’s absolutely coal series they are trying to create. It brings a lighthearted sense of purity and joy to the timeline that has been long bogged down with war, egirls, nothing ever happens memes, political divisiveness, lifestyle agendas that normal people reject, violence from minorities, riots, inflation, etc. The yearning for that simple affection is so very real. And the ridiculing and calling these young men incels is fairly barbaric. But, that is par for the course from the world that hates them.
We flip the coin and the real feelings of Young White Men is revealed, the iceberg below the surface. They see the Malfoid idea of love and finding a great wife...and are reminded that reality has been stripped from them. Getting a girl means taking care of yourself which means getting a job. A job which has been outsourced to skilless workers from the 3rd world that have been drug into Western nations against the wishes of the people. Even if you get the job and the girl, where is it even safe to raise you kids without them being attack and killed by swarthy hordes? And here we start to see the connection. The republic/system has failed them. The system they have been forced to support has not only turned on them, but also put them down and told them at first that they were imagining it. Now they are told to stop complaining about being replaced and how it is a good thing. People are trying to cope and say that's all there is to it. Oh no...oh God no. The part that absolutely clicks for them is the absolute destruction of the system and tearing down every last thing that is in their way. You can say "well, he turned evil...the empire is evil...learn from his mistake!". Life isn't a movie. There isn't some happy ending with Ewoks. There is simply kill or be killed. And Anakin is the embodiment of that. Young White Men know this. And they are going through a mental meditation before things get going.
Malfoy represents the Ideal, the Super Ego. Anakin represents the reality, the Id.
And Young White Men are standing between the two, not conflicted...but know that the only way to save themselves and their world is through absolutely world shaking levels of "evil". From a certain point of view.

"Why do I need to go to school?"
"So when you grow up, you'll be able to get a high-paying job, afford a home, and support a family."
Twenty years later:
God is really putting me through a Job experience this year. (the Biblical character)
No matter what trials are thrown at me, no matter what, I refuse to stop trusting in God! 🔥

It’s interesting all of the “literally me” characters from this year were no longer lonely autistic chuds pining for a gf, but reluctant sensitive young genocidal warlords doing the necessary to restore order so their loved ones could live

I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide

As an ex atheist who sought the truth, going wherever cold and rigorous logic lead, I can attest to this from personal experience.
Against my upbringing and inclination, and very much against my will, logic forced me to conclude that sodomy, polygamy, adultery, divorce, fornication, and contraception were not only imprudent and ignoble, but grave moral evils.
I found none of my fellow atheists, who so boasted themselves to be champions of science and reason, to look at basic scientific facts. Their arguments in favor of disbelief were weak to the point of parody, and one and all had some sort of nonsensical psuedo-religious crockpottery (anarchy or socialism or environmentalism or transhumanism) to occupy the natural human yearning for the divine which was otherwise absent from their lives.
So I started reading the SUMMA THEOLOGICA of Thomas Aquinas.
Well, for a man of logic, once one opens the most precise and rigorous thinker since Euclid, there is no escape.
So I started looking in ernest. I prayed, thinking I would not be answered.
I challenged Him to show Himself, to prove himself, to give me evidence.
Be careful what you wish for.
I asked for water. I was overwhelmed with floods.
Miracles answered, and saved my life. Apparitions visited and spoke to me. I had visions beyond time and space. I experienced rapture and ecstacy. I saw God.
Why was I shown these things when many more deserving are left thirsting in the dark for some sign of the Eternal and Almighty, the source and summit of all being?
I have no idea.
No one could be less worthy.
I was a blasphemous atheist who never let a day pass when I did not mock and belittle Christ and all Christian things. My contempt was absolute.
But He came to me, and now I am his.
Seeing is believing, but one has to start believing to start seeing.
