Excuse me but is this an excellently placed Andor quote?

Hm, this is helpful.
Therapy Jeff breaking down why it’s OK to not feel bad about tragic events that happen to people who don’t show empathy for others.

This has been an ongoing project for decades.
If they want to lay blame they can lay it at their own feet. Alexander Dugin (Putin's brain) was the architect of the current social media influence campaigns that have sown division around the globe. They sow extremist views on the left and right to divide the West.

Oh, no that’s just Medvedev. One of the components of this post is drunk and it isn’t the translator lol.

This is fascinating, I had no idea punctuation was compensating for cues we receive IRL even though I’ve been doing it for who knows how many years now lol!
I’m a softer punctuator than you I think, but I’m not criminally cheery with constant multiple exclamation marks and emojis.

Attempt number… 3? Maybe 4? Of trying to solder a dang loop on top of this bezel. This is day two lol haalp 🥲

I suddenly have so much hate in my body I just don’t know what to do. It’s scraping at my lungs and esophagus like an animal that wants to get out.
Maybe if I vomit out my heart and become a soldier I could make allies with the thing with claws in my chest. But I can’t. And I don’t want to.

"So now you're taking on the empire."

"It's overdue, probably doomed, and I'm too old, and I don't care anymore!"

"You can't beat them, Maarva."

"Not if I run away!"

Another relevant Andor moment.

"I'm staying."

"But it's not safe!"

"I know all that."

"You said it yourself, it's all come undone! What's left to keep you here?"

"The rebellion."

This show is chock full of them. I’m really curious if the only other season they’re adding to it will be half as philosophical, or if it will be forced to lean into the traditional Star Wars camp.

Rewatching Andor for the 4th time and I’ve been shamelessly posting the most relevant quotes

“So much going wrong and all of it happening so quickly.

The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.”
February 15, 2025 at 12:35 PM
I mourn that loss, and the permanent loss of trust from our (potentially former) allies. I understand that even if we were to somehow pull out of this, no one is willing to deal with the economic and political whiplash every four years.
February 15, 2025 at 12:33 PM
It isn’t flirtation over here. It’s a commitment. Policies, people and ideologies are now very deeply embedded into our governmental structure (whatever that is, it’s too shattered to recognize any discernible shape at this point).

3/3

“So you think it’s hopeless, do you? Freedom? Independence? Justice? We should just submit and be thankful? Just take what we’re given?”

“Do I look thankful to you?”

“No.”
February 15, 2025 at 12:21 PM
2/3

“Well, you’re half right. The empire doesn’t play by the rules.”

“And how am I wrong?”

“They don’t care enough to learn. They don’t have to.
You mean nothing to them.”
February 15, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Relevant Andor (1/3):

“My conclusion is simple. Weapons are tools. Those that use them are, by extension, functional assets that we must use to our best advantage. The empire has no moral boundaries, why should we not take hold of every chance we can? Let them see how an insurgency adapts.”
February 15, 2025 at 12:21 PM
“[Vance] suggested that [Romania cancelling their vote] amounted to trampling democracy itself—a core value of both America and Europe.”
Well he would be one to know, wouldn’t he? 🙄
February 15, 2025 at 11:16 AM
Europe must; the US will never again be trustworthy. It will (maybe) be (some) of the nations that will emerge from the rubble once America has fully and completely finally obliterated itself. Like rotted food, we can’t simply be restored to health.
February 15, 2025 at 11:12 AM
It’s more like finding out they’ve been killing small animals for fun. I’m not exaggerating or making some macabre joke. The stuff happening here (and being forced abroad, see: threats to annex Canada and to post troops to steal 50% of Ukraine’s minerals) is EVIL.

This is an AMAZING resource.
🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23.

That’s where we come in.

This is the first one coming down the pipeline (this administration) to finally hit me personally.
I high key wish I became a maniacal berserker or something potentially useful when I don’t have access to SSRIs. Unfortunately instead I will be essentially neutralized.

“You don’t get to live safely at the expense of others.”

Important words. Let’s remember them. Let’s act on them.
Each time I read another variation of "We must appease russia because muh nuclear war" my desire for global nuclear proliferation grows.

You don't get to live safely at the expense of others.

My country has became the poster boy for "Give up nukes - give up your sovereignty and human rights."
February 15, 2025 at 9:41 AM
Oh fascinating! I read some intro level stuff about fascism about a year ago, like Chris Hedges “American Fascists”, so I have an acceptable grasp of what fascism is, but not cults! It’s interesting to hear the term “high control groups”, that’s not something I’ve heard before.
