Quote from Andor show seems relevant every day

It's probably been discussed earlier, but this quote from the Star Wars show Andor pops into my head every day when I read what the Felon and his enablers are doing and think of how we can respond. "The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance, will flood the banks of the Empire’s authority, and then there will be so many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this.”

That is one of the reasons it is resonating with many fans.

Absolutely loved Andor. Season 2, episode 8 “Ghorman Massacre “ was chilling.

From Major Partagaz, played by that great actor Anton Lesser from season 1:
He plays commanding officer in the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB).

You want security. Security is an illusion.

You want security. Call the Navy.

We are healthcare providers.

We treat sickness.

We identify symptoms.

We locate germs whether they arise from within or have come from the outside.

The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease.


Trump, despises rational and democratic-loving Americans.
He despises Americans who do not need someone to tell them how to think.

👉 @mktoon.bsky.social‬: "Remember that part in #Andor when all those reporters on Ghorman made it sound like the Ghormans were violent and the Empire HAD to send in soldiers to stop things from getting out of hand but in reality the soldiers WANTED things to get out of hand?" Yea, crazy huh?
