Maybe JFK was one of them? I don't know much about the topic but his assassination always seemed a bit iffy. Maybe I need to take my meds? ๐Ÿคท

JFK wasn't funding a secret rebel group fighting against America to overthrow the government (not much of an Andor spoiler)

  1. Marginalize anything even slightly left of centre.
  2. Go rightward trying to chirp off electorate off your rival alt-right party.
  3. Observe entire national political spectrum shifting so far to the right, that European centrists become extreme left by your standards.

I don't think Mothma is actually a liberal really. Like shes a senator but she's playing pretend. Putting on a show. She is more similar to Bourgoise class traitors who sided with the proletariet in revolutions of the past. Which did happen. Engels, Lenin, etc. All born into rather wealthy backgrounds. She does have that kind of sheltered mindset of being shocked by violence, but that's normal for her to have given her life experiences, and she gets over it eventually.

She acts like a Liberal as if reform is possible, but secretly opposes the entire system and funds rebellion.

Ya exactly. An actual liberal would call her a terrorist lol

You might think that but you have to remember the New republic was formed after the emperor died, and that it failed for much of the same reasons the old one did.

Well yeah like i said she isnt like ideologically a leftist or anything. It's media made by Americans so she's gonna be bad when it comes to governance. But in regards to like how she views revolution she isn't a liberal. A liberal is more like that one dude who works for the empire, and is a stickler for the rules. But then gets all upset when he has a personal attachment to the people being slaughtered. But then he still attacks Andor for no good reason.

This isnt to say shes a communist by any means btw. But she is very clearly a revolutionairy character. Liberals would be reformist at best.

~~Use spoiler instead of dropdown please~~

[โ€“] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 7 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

That is a spoiler though???

We don't have a spoiler Markdown like Reddit (>!not a spoiler!<) or Discord (||also not a spoiler||) and the dropdown is literally called "spoiler"

[โ€“] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wait you're right my bad. I just used a dropdown myself but somehow I thought spoilers was black text which was only shown when hovering the mouse or tapping it.

It's all good! I think there are spoilers like that too? That sounds familiar.

Anyway, I'm using a new app so I thought I did it wrong as it was so I appreciate you saying this because it helped me get verification I did it right!
