I was just watching the new season of andor that made me go like “fuck i’m going to have to read theory aren’t I.”

spoiler for like s2 e1 but not really?

the dude is like asking her advice on how to take this planet’s goverment to exploit it for resources (which will eventually destroy the planet).

      Dedra is such a terrifying villain!

      i love her, though dkm i forgot her name and kind of just understood her to be another nameless face which serves the empire, which is kind of disorientating to grasp the comprehension that the state is a “living breathing system” which learns and adapts itself to try to overcome all who defy them

        That fits in perfectly with Major Partagaz’ thesis:

        Security is an illusion. You want security? Call the Navy. Launch a regiment of troopers. 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.
