Read the comments for even more mental damage.
I love how people assume the comment calling them cringe is saying disliking Trump is cringe. Like they cannot conceive that their attitude and juvenile outlook is what people find silly. “we really are the rebels” fucking killed me
AHHHHH https://www.reddit.com/r/andor/comments/1iilybr/just_saw_nemiks_manifesto_posted_in_a_comment_in/
I love andor but I swear I am regretting its existence
I enjoyed the show too, but Nemik’s manifesto is honestly one of the more disappointing parts of it. Nemik’s character himself reads like parody of New Left college kids, and his vague, flowery ideas about how to resist tyranny and oppression confirmed that for me. I interpreted Cassian as being disappointed after reading it, like “really? This is all you got for me?”
It didn’t read like a manifesto. His thing about analog tech was closer to something you’d find in a political work than anything in the actual manifesto.
They couldn’t possibly hit upon those themes organically, it’s because of muh treat.
Edit: one of the posts in the sidebar was ”PSA: Andor might be morally grey but that doesn’t mean the Empire isn’t evil”
As much as I hate hearing the emphasis on treats, this is fantastic news. Rather than endless Marvel movies, Andor is legitimately telling a revolutionary tale that draws on real history, and the fact that it is resonating with liberals is a huge sign, just like widespread support for Luigi, that the actual class character of society is becoming more and more understood. The jump from an Andor-fan to theory is much shorter than a Marvel fan or Harry Potter fan.
I dunno, maybe that’s too bloomer of a take but I choose to look at the positives here.
Maybe. I’m just more annoyed that they’re not realizing that people are getting pissed off because things are getting increasingly worse, not because of a Star Wars treat. It makes me slightly less optimistic that apparently even the Andor sub still has Empire apologists.
I would point out, both Lenin and Stalin drew inspiration from fiction in their time, along with real world events. Stalin by The Patricide and Lenin by What is to be Done.
Not saying Andor is going to inspire the same fervor, just that fiction can be inspirational to people.
I didn’t even know there was a novel with that title, I only knew the Lenin text.
I see it as an indicator of a trend, if the feelings weren’t there then Andor would not have seen as much success IMO. Regardless of misattribution, the indication reveals more about the general feelings of USians and other Andor viewers.
