Some people correctly identified that this dude works for Disney and probably can’t just say “yeah it’s a communist show” but the rest of the comments were like
“It’s anti-imperialist, not leftist. Maidan/Hungarians/etc are right wing and anti-Imperialist. The empire is authoritarian”
meanwhile there is a community called women stuff that was asking the other day about red flags of anti-lgbtq people and in the post said “no politics please”
Yeah, the moment someone talks about authoritarianism I don’t care about their political opinions.
Oh, the USSR used violence to enforce its societal rules and norms, like literally every human society in history, and that makes it uniquely evil and comparable to the Third Reich?
People watching a series about an oppressive government made in the current political climate and going “this is about the USSR” would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
E: wait lmao why the fuck would you do an interview with Ross Douthat??!?!?
The andor sub was horrible about this.

Just shoot me
I saw a guy saying he didn’t see how it was political because we didn’t know the empire’s opinions on “social issues” i.e. gay people.
Amazing

Lol yep
Baby’s first watching of anything with politics deeper than Marvel
Oh you’re fighting for the survival of your people? Recite all Fanon’s books
I study Hannah Arendt, and a lot of her existential philosophy is actually interesting.
Her creation of “totalitarianism” though – truly CIA-level shit. Authoritarianism as the new watered down version is just… ughhhhhhHHHHHHHHH

Americans are incapable of comprehending criticism of the US that doesn’t also say “but it’s still better than communism”
EDIT: also happy to be able to do this for once
I don’t know who Ross Douthat is and I’m grateful for that
Ross Douthat is the inverse of the principle that real heroes don’t wear capes
I’m still confused and I like it that way.
Fake Villains Do Wear Capes?
Maybe not “fake” villains, but certainly wannabe villains
He is doing a press tour for the show
He thought the was doing an interview with the Phantom of the Opera, only to find out at the last moment it was Ross
Hungarians? Lol, they’re as bootlicking towards US empire as any other Euro lib. They’re worse actually.
They meant 1956
Oh lmao. Libs love defending fascists
