There is something rather extraordinary about a generation identifying with one of the most spectacularly doomed characters in cinematic history. Anakin Skywalker was supposed to become something extraordinary. Instead, he became a cautionary tale. Yet the memes circulating around him have struck a nerve that many people seem determined not to understand. 
It is an interesting dynamic, particularly when viewed through the lens of modern generational resentment. Perhaps the resemblance is not quite as ridiculous as it first appears.
Perhaps the real mystery isn't why young men find the comparison funny. Perhaps it's why so many people find it offensive.

There is something particularly depressing about a child arriving at a Halloween doorstep only to find an empty bowl. Not because a few pieces of candy have gone missing, but because the little social ritual behind the gesture has broken down. The homeowner expected one thing. The visitor did something else. And the next child pays the price. It is a small incident, perhaps, but small incidents can sometimes reveal rather large changes. Watch the video to see why this seemingly trivial subject deserves a much closer look.

From private compounds in remote locations to military facilities designed to withstand serious disruption, preparations for extraordinary emergencies are no longer confined to the pages of science fiction. There are financial, military and religious dimensions to this story, and they lead to some fascinating questions. But there's one aspect that deserves considerably more attention: the people who may find themselves in charge when the existing hierarchy disappears.
