EVERYTHING
Just was talking about something similar in discord. We should not glorify violence, even the revolutionary kind. It hurts the person inflicting it even when it is justified.
Trust me I know. That said I have nothing against pictures of burning cop cars, that isn't violence as far as I am concerned.
And yet we knew:
Even the hatred of squalor
Distorts one’s features.
Even anger against injustice
Makes the voice grow hoarse. We
Who wished to lay the foundation for gentleness
Could not ourselves be gentle.But you, when at last the time comes
That man can aid his fellow man,
Should think upon us
With leniency.-Bertolt Brecht
Sort of. There's more than a few of us there
I'm honestly more active there than here lately and you can actually hear what I sound like there since I'm one of the more active folks in our vc channel.
I'm especially proud of the Revolutionary Suicide episode I think it came out really good.
There's also the original CTH subreddit lifeboat discord that's kind of its own thing now

I really love how in his monologue he talks about sharing his dream with ghosts, and then you Episode 10 the projection at the funeral is basically just that, a ghost sharing his dream. But this time it's the whole town sharing that dream c:
Her speech is more or less a rephrasing of Gramsci’s I Hate the Indifferent
Saw Guerrera comes out making a lot of sense too.
Fuck it's sad that in the end Mon Mothma, bloodless left lib lanyard looking for a personality comes out on top.
Mon Mothma is going to have an award baiting :snipes-hesitation: moment where she has to put down Luthen to “save” the rebellion in season 2.
"I'm sorry Luthen, but our peaceful reform movement doesn't have space for authoritarian tankies (x-wingers?)" :hesitation-1:
By the time rouge one rolls around isn't she just straight up working to blow shit up? Like she's no longer on coruscant and is in the revolution planning room.
Yet another nice liberal, corrupted by radical Nemikian propaganda. She could have done so much good in the Galactic Senate, but she was brainwashed by the secret Jedi Cabal into only seeing the world through a lens of "Empire Bad". Here's why we need an update to zoning law on Coruscant so we can uplift marginalized Imperial Subjects and create a more egalitarian Death Star Corps. 🧵
I actually don’t think it’s gonna go that way (unless the success makes producers try to micromanage it the way they did Fett and Obi Wan to get the “moments” they want)
Her entire set up right now has been getting use to doing violence, accepting it. Learning the shit she has to give up while holding her image.
I feel like Luthen is going to make her kill him to keep the rebellion going after he gets found out. Making her specifically be the one to kill him to harden her to the deaths that are going to happen when the full rebellion starts.
Or you know they aren’t as cool and it’s some lib shit.
I feel like it has to be. The “it’s all a lie” scene is setting up her being able to be ruthless. Her fucking selling her daughter for the cause while people tell her she’s gonna need to do more sets it up too.
Hell the way things are going I could also see it being that she will have to kill her husband and maybe even her kid for the sake of the rebellion. Since we know they don’t ever get mentioned in any of the extended canon lore (both during and after the rebellion).
Seriously I think she's gonna end up sacrificing 'EVERYTHING' ,in the same ways luthen has.
“Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.
What is my sacrifice?
I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.
So what do I sacrifice?
Everything!”
My chud family all CHEERING as an Imp officer got beat down by a brick from our beloved dope working man was one of the highlights of the last few months.
bonus round: i cried throughout the entire funeral scene because i'm trans and it was the week after the shooting in colorado springs and it felt so cathartic to see people kick nazi asses
i can't wait for the big mouse (inc) to give him the heel turn treatment for going ''too far''
i doubt they'll do that, it would collide with the rest of established mouse canon. they'll just make it ultra clear during the last season that :unlimited-power: is actually putin (pupatine)
