Noticing a lot of similarities lately.

The meme features two panels from the Star Wars prequel film 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones'. The top panel shows Padmé Amidala and Chancellor Palpatine looking somberly forward, with text overlay reading 'SO THIS IS HOW LIBERTY DIES.'. The bottom panel is a close-up of Padmé's face, looking resigned and weary, with text overlay reading 'WITH THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE.' The image uses the characters' solemn expressions to contrast with the ironic, sarcastic text, implying that liberty is lost not through violence or oppression, but through the passive acceptance and enthusiastic approval of those in power.
