“When did Star Wars get political??”
“Um… 1977.”
It’s not called Star Peace.
Andor especially so, and in the best ways!
Wish it wasn’t so relevant tho.
Resistance against Space Hitler? Who’d a thunk it?
And the resistance are Vietcong.
Now add those two.
Everything all the time is politics, you just never saw it before!
You mean the empire and the rebellion represented something?!
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t like… the entirety of the prequels built on the back of a political shitstorm as well?
And the sequels, and the spinoffs, and the shows…
The ideology of neoliberalism is to claim it’s just the way the world works and everyone else is political. No need to question or prove your presumption if you pretend there are none.
And the ideology of fascism is to claim that neoliberalism is evil because it treats minorities too well and don’t let the rich and powerful get away with enough.
Such a rich range of excellent choices in the two-party system! 🤦
(In case you wonder, no I’m not trying to say that Neoliberalism isn’t awful, do a whataboutism or otherwise disagree rather than build on your point 😁)
