Remember when a bunch of libs watched that and wrote a petition to rename one of the FBI buildings that’s named after Hoover? Like yeah let’s honor Hampton by naming a building used for training the people that killed him and will continue to churn out more like them, by sanitizing the name of the torture schools
I once again ask what I said in reply to their comment, what the fuck does Holodomor have to do with language suppression? This dipshit was so low effort and yet they thought they presented some bombshell.
Also I love how posting a law that bans displays of anti-fascism and the denigration of nazi collaboration is somehow impossible to construe as fascist.
Let’s put that aside though, what the fuck does the famine, even if it was man-made (it wasn’t) have to do with language repression?
That’s a good rule of thumb
I’ll be real, I think antiques need to be a century old, or at LEAST over 50 years old
That’s my point. They kept in arcs from within season narratives, with seemingly little adjustment.
There almost certainly WAS something those episodes are written to build for, which they just didn’t do cause of time, but without finding a satisfying reason for keeping that thread in at all.
I don’t think that is why thing turned out how they did. I think Gilroy wanted to use as much of his original 5 season plans but truncated. That inevitably runs into a problem, and thus the whole season feels thematically disjointed. I really wish they had re-written more and just chosen a throughline for the season. They could even do the time jumps, just don’t make each arc clearly feel like a piece of a different season with different ideas going on.
Heert repeating the orders at him again like he is a child causes such a good reaction shot from moustache man
Read the YA book “rebel rising” which is about Jyn. It peters off, but the first half 2/3 is focused on her and Saw and is fucking fantastic. Pretty much letting Saw proselytize about how a rebellion requires violence and that people will only fight once the empire has created a pile of bodies so high it dwarfs them, and someone needs to create that be it dead imps those fighting back cause, or civilians the empire slaughters, but either way the rebellion will stand atop corpses. The latter half is weak teen romance, though then it picks back up with Jyn depressed in prison and waiting for death. That shit gets dark for a star wars novel
Cassian was there with the empire. Remember it was a penal unit, he was jailed for attacking a trooper with a stick, spent time in prison, got sent as a penal battalion according to him though Luthen says he was a unit cook. He was 100% on the side of the Empire as prison labor. The Mimbanese had been Republic aligned and trained by clones, but fought against the Empire sometime later. The scenes are too dark to make anything out, but the costumes for them have them using retrofitted or broken clone armor.
Yeah it was never about their luck. I think people focus on the Vader hallway scene for the EPIC shit and not that it is another moment driving home how collective the sacrifices are. We already saw Cassian and Jyn die and as the camera rises above the planet, the bridge of the Profundity is burning, the plans are handed off and a dozen troopers die in a desperate act to just barely slip them through a doorway, one trooper even fucking goes to elbow vader with no weapon, literally just making Vader kill him to buy a second longer.
They didn’t get lucky, they just bought time with their blood
It is worth noting that China doing this is not an immediate consequence of the split. Afghanistan in late 70s, same with UNITA. Khmer Rouge is earlier, but the other stuff is mostly post-Cultural Revolution shift in policy. Like you said “79-89” which is effectively the fall of the Gang of Four and the ascendance of Guofeng and then Deng all the way to the end of the USSR as a stable actor.
Not to say Mao didn’t make the shift to the US, he and Zhou 100% did, but China going completely off-kilter foreign policy wise really kicks in in 79
Oh like news media. I thought you meant popular media fiction stuff
Do you have examples?
I was speaking to a German acquaintance yesterday and she was like “of fucking course” when I said that they are celebrating a day in honor of American martyred workers, which Americans don’t celebrate at least officially. Turns out in Berlin they still do stuff in memory of the victims of Blutmai which was nice to hear.
Edwards had him as a more central figure. It was the reshoots that cut him down.
Its Eugene V Dabs

Literal call for genocide in there with the “become Ukrainian speaking regions” holy shit these people are fucking animals
No but they think they would even want to. They really cannot accept that democrats are the empire to. As I like to say to this shit “oh so you just don’t consider Iraqi’s to be people? ok good to know”
