one thing andor does right (among many) is how terrifyingly accurate it shows true fascism.

after the aldhani robbery, the ISB casually decides in a meeting that now every crime is a class one offense. they just sit together in a meeting and decide to doom millions of people as a sign. the empire doesn’t care.

we see the flashbacks of Clem and Cassian, and we see that Clem tried to calm down and stop the protestors. And yet he still got hanged for it, because the empire doesn’t care.

we see the shore trooper areesting cassian for nothing, having him choked by a K2 unit just because he can, and then he gets sent to court with no way to defend himself and his sentence just gets randomly pushed up from 6 months to 6 years. because the empire doesn’t care.

star wars, for years upon years, has always depicted the empire as the bad guy, sure, but you were rarely terrified of them. stormtroopers can’t hit anything, the empire gets defeated by ewoks, atrocities are mentioned but seldom showed directly.

but here? here you see enitre long arm of fascism. you see the banality of it. it’s everywhere, it follows you wherever you go, it keeps you on your toes all the time. it’s everywhere and it’s coming for everyone. even you.

I don’t know about y'all but I thought this whole episode was terrifying, bone chilling and ice cold

complaints about millennials from ancient greece and rome

thoodleoo:

1. ungrateful, wait with eagerness for the day of their fathers’ deaths (seneca’s de beneficiis)
   
2. travel everywhere, take up agriculture instead of letting nature provide (tibullus 1.3)
3. carp at their parents, praise evil-doers and their violent deeds (hesiod, works and days)
4. spend too much time talking about philosophy and pretending to be greek to fight wars (plutarch, life of cato the elder)
5. bad at riding horses (horace, odes 3.24)
6. can’t lift boulders (homer, iliad 20)
   
7. still can’t lift boulders (vergil, aeneid 12)

8. spend all their time declaiming about pirate-chieftains and tyrannicides and oracles commanding human sacrifices and what kind of preparation is that for the real world? (Eumolpus in Petronius, Messala in Tacitus’ Dialogus, a bunch of others)

9. only care about snappy one-liners and ignore good periodic Ciceronian prose (Quintilian, IO 10)

9. take up stupid trendy fads like vegetarianism (Seneca the Younger’s father yelled at him about this, apparently)

10. use philosophy as an excuse to avoid the duties of a Roman senator (Tacitus, Hist. 4.4)

it annoys me when sapphic women see an attractive woman and are like “i’m no better than a man 😳😔” like BABE you are allowed to see an attractive woman and want to fuck her!!! free yourself from the cottagecore PG13 narrative of sapphic attraction, look at her with lust in your heart!!!

#also men wanting to have sex with women is not disrespectful either! what’s disrespectful is crossing boundaries on purpose

I truly hate how the cinematic critique concept of the “male gaze” has been taken and fully bastardized into a progressive puritanical idea that privately feeling sexual attraction to someone is sinful

Reblogging this for the last addition

Finally somebody said it.
