Repugnant comments in response to someone comparing Iran to Ghorman. Libs truly cannot have a modicum of humanity with the third world. These same people will say "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" when asking you to support the people who bombed Gaza to rubble. A LOT of Ukraine flag bio posting in there as well. People saying Ukraine is the real perfect victim cause their government has never hurt anyone. Yeah 8 years of bombing schools and arming literal nazis was just nothing, just epic wholesome shit. They want to pretend to be anti-fascist cause they watched a show, but they will worship actual fascists in a second

I said at the time that the choice to make the Ghor French-coded belied the fact that they couldn't imagine making audiences empathize with "imperfect" victims or even minority coded victims.

It is a dead-end, not radicalism or a call to action. These people jack off to "I have friends everywhere" signs cause they recognize a fellow consumer, but they will not recognize the legitimacy of states opposing the west.

It's easily the best piece of Star Wars media to come out since the 80s. It's a spy thriller first, and a Star Wars show second, and that's to its benefit.

It has some genuinely radical themes too, though as OP points out, libs are notoriously illiterate

Id say it's the best star wars media. It makes even the original trilogy pale in comparison when it comes to all the things that make me like star wars - Scrappy rebels, political allegory, charming rogues, pew pews, sci fi spirituality, stunning and slightly alien vistas, fascinating world building, and so on. It's just so good.
