Nach #Orwell|s #1984 bleibt es einem #ScienceFiction-Epos vorbehalten, eine große Wahrheit zu verkünden--der #NewSpeak-Triumph :

"Der Unterschied zwischen dem, was gesagt wird, und dem, was 'als wahr bekannt' ist, ist zu einem Abgrund geworden.

👉Von allen Dingen, die in Gefahr sind, ist der Verlust der objektiven Realität vielleicht der Gefährlichste. Der Tod der Wahrheit ist der endgültige Sieg des Bösen.👈"

I haven't watched "Andor" until now. I was nudged to watch it by someone who recommended it, and who said something about Vietnam war politics visible in the story. That is not what I see. I see current affairs in the U.S. echoed in most elements of the show in a rather frightening way, and I am only on season 1, which was filmed in 2022. Chilling. #Andor

Finishing up our season one rewatch of #Andor because -- even though it's always the right time -- this is the perfect day to remember the importance of resistance against a fascist empire.

"I'd rather die taking them down than die giving them what they want."

The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.

In a new piece, I talk about everything from Iran to Andor to discuss how US tech supremacy gives it power over others that it’s working hard to maintain — to all of our detriment.
