Just finished watching the first season of Andor. What a good show!!! 🖤

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."
-Nemik's Manifesto
#Andor #StarWars #Nemik

Rewatching #Andor, it strikes me that the significance of #Nemik is that he sees that the real power of the Empire is not the visible coercion through violence and fear, but the all pervading sense that there is no alternative. That too is coercion.

In our world we see a separation, but collusion, between these two sources of power. Physical violence (war and policing) is the domain of nation states. Coercion of the imagination and thus hope is the domain of #BigTech.

Before I upload this somewhere I'm trying it out on you, my fedi peeps

The track itself from Overmono is a beast of a banger. That I left untouched. I just fucked around with Nemik's Manifesto and what I call Luthens Lament from the end of season one. Which I ripped out of Youtube video's

Habrá momentos en que la lucha parezca imposible. Ya sé esto. Solo, inseguro, empequeñecido por la escala del enemigo. Recuerda esto. La libertad es una idea pura. Ocurre espontáneamente y sin instrucción. Los actos aleatorios de insurrección están ocurriendo constantemente en toda la galaxia. Hay ejércitos enteros, batallones que no tienen idea de que ya se han alistado en la causa. Recuerda que la frontera de la Rebelión está en todas partes. E incluso el más pequeño acto de insurrección empuja nuestras líneas hacia adelante. Y luego recuerda esto. La necesidad imperial de control es tan desesperada porque no es natural. La tiranía requiere un esfuerzo constante. Se rompe, gotea. La autoridad es frágil. La opresión es la máscara del miedo. Recuérdalo. Y sepa esto: llegará el día en que todas estas escaramuzas y batallas, estos momentos de desafío habrán inundado los bancos de la autoridad del Imperio y entonces habrá uno demasiado. Una sola cosa romperá el asedio. Recuerda esto. Probar.
