No but they think they would even want to. They really cannot accept that democrats are the empire to. As I like to say to this shit "oh so you just don't consider Iraqi's to be people? ok good to know"

Remember when a bunch of libs watched that and wrote a petition to rename one of the FBI buildings that's named after Hoover? Like yeah let's honor Hampton by naming a building used for training the people that killed him and will continue to churn out more like them, by sanitizing the name of the torture schools

Look how quick they go from

where is our rebellion? to how DARE you insult Pelosi and Biden, AOC is the bravest person ever

My fav is the dipshit you said Talib would have told people not to vote and then Palpatine gets elected......like mother fucker Palpatine was supported by ALL of these same people, Mon, Bail, Padme. They elected him, not some MAGA folks. That and voting wouldn't work after the war began, it was already too late, that's why Bail looks all sad at the end of AOTC.

These people think they have reached enlightenment because they watched a smart show talk about antifascism in a fictional context, and yet will call Hamas evil, condemn Cuba, and consider the limit of resistance to be a march. Like they will see Saw and be like "yeah violence is necessary, why are people not like this irl?" and then freak the fuck out when victims of a holocaust shoot back

The limits of their thinking begin and end with orange man bad. This is why I see little radicalization utility in media like this. It doesn't matter how good it is, fiction is just ingested, modified to fit their existing politics, and then regurgitated. if you show them something, it needs to be at least set IRL and historical setting. Westerners cannot do subtext or they see subtext existing and pat themselves on the back and don't internalize it.

I once again ask what I said in reply to their comment, what the fuck does Holodomor have to do with language suppression? This dipshit was so low effort and yet they thought they presented some bombshell.

Also I love how posting a law that bans displays of anti-fascism and the denigration of nazi collaboration is somehow impossible to construe as fascist.

Let's put that aside though, what the fuck does the famine, even if it was man-made (it wasn't) have to do with language repression?

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

That's a good rule of thumb

I'll be real, I think antiques need to be a century old, or at LEAST over 50 years old

That's my point. They kept in arcs from within season narratives, with seemingly little adjustment.

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago (4 children)

There almost certainly WAS something those episodes are written to build for, which they just didn't do cause of time, but without finding a satisfying reason for keeping that thread in at all.

I don't think that is why thing turned out how they did. I think Gilroy wanted to use as much of his original 5 season plans but truncated. That inevitably runs into a problem, and thus the whole season feels thematically disjointed. I really wish they had re-written more and just chosen a throughline for the season. They could even do the time jumps, just don't make each arc clearly feel like a piece of a different season with different ideas going on.

Heert repeating the orders at him again like he is a child causes such a good reaction shot from moustache man

Read the YA book "rebel rising" which is about Jyn. It peters off, but the first half 2/3 is focused on her and Saw and is fucking fantastic. Pretty much letting Saw proselytize about how a rebellion requires violence and that people will only fight once the empire has created a pile of bodies so high it dwarfs them, and someone needs to create that be it dead imps those fighting back cause, or civilians the empire slaughters, but either way the rebellion will stand atop corpses. The latter half is weak teen romance, though then it picks back up with Jyn depressed in prison and waiting for death. That shit gets dark for a star wars novel

Cassian was there with the empire. Remember it was a penal unit, he was jailed for attacking a trooper with a stick, spent time in prison, got sent as a penal battalion according to him though Luthen says he was a unit cook. He was 100% on the side of the Empire as prison labor. The Mimbanese had been Republic aligned and trained by clones, but fought against the Empire sometime later. The scenes are too dark to make anything out, but the costumes for them have them using retrofitted or broken clone armor.

 

I love that most of the reddit comments are like "what the fuck is he on about?".

But for real imagine the hissy fit if Cuban athletes praised those who fought against literal American invasions, before a sporting event.
