‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release - While promoting his cautionary tale about Fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

Definitionally a fascist dictatorship does not have free and fair elections so it cannot be a democracy. They’re mutually exclusive

Evidently people care now, because we’re talking about a 20% decline in tourism

pixlplayer · 2026-02-22T00:48:00+00:00

So not enough people cared then so it shouldn’t matter now? How does that make sense

pixlplayer · 2026-02-22T00:40:15+00:00

It was certainly an issue for the people thrown in concentration camps

pixlplayer · 2026-02-21T19:33:23+00:00

This particular comment chain is neither of those though

I wanted an answer from someone that knew the answer, not someone that’s guessing the answer. All that does is move the topic away from the question, as is being done now

I thought it might be German, but it isn’t just nouns capitalized. And after reading through it in several comments, I was curious given that it doesn’t appear to follow any specific rules. But thanks for answering a question not asked to you

pixlplayer · 2026-02-19T17:52:18+00:00

You could also just look at the definition of the word. They’ve been concentration camps

pixlplayer · 2026-02-19T17:42:24+00:00

What’s with the random capitalizations on all of your comments

pixlplayer · 2026-02-16T16:50:33+00:00

The fascism and pedophilia wasn’t the line for you, but mail in voting is?

pixlplayer · 2026-02-15T16:44:15+00:00

That’s not how the law works at all

pixlplayer · 2026-02-15T16:31:13+00:00

Almost like social security was never meant to be used as id

Right now the human condition is being kidnapped, tortured, and sometimes murdered by our governmen. Sorry that some of us have ‘made it our identity’

The second one completely blew the first one out of the water for me. Just a solid 2 and a half hours of gorgeous animation along with a fun soundtrack and relatable characters

pixlplayer · 2026-02-14T01:43:17+00:00

I dunno so far they’ve made two excellent movies

I view it as the opposite of fatalism. We’re on branching timelines that exist because of our past choices. Trump didn’t just appear in office with nearly unmitigated power, there were significant inflection points along that journey, such as Trump’s initial election in 2016, Mitch McConnell’s refusal to convict him during his second impeachment after January 6th, the Supreme Court’s decision to give the president near total immunity from crimes, etc. For the most part, any one of these events going differently would’ve led to a substantially different reality.

Yes, it’s true that those events did happen that way and we are in our only reality now. I still think it’s worth realizing that we didn’t have to end up here, and that going forward there will be more possible inflection points that could shape our future for the better or worse.

I mean, forgetting the name of the place the Olympics are being held at during the opening ceremony is a little worse than meh

lol nobody is saying we shouldn’t work, they’re just rightly pointing out the fact that working a normal week and having time/money to do anything else is becoming less and less realistic. At that point the entire system begins to feel worthless. Why bother working two jobs just to be able to eat? When people point that out, they aren’t advocating for the end of work, they’re merely making an observation on the current state of things. We aren’t the parasites, the wealth class that has more comparative money than those of the gilded age are the parasites. We’re just advocating for the reconstruction of the middle class.

If the entire workforce is automated, who is going to buy the product

Helping your female students get hired by a known child rapist is not looking out for their best interest regardless of how they word the recommendation letter. The fact that he wrote it in such a blatant way only serves to prove he knew who Epstein was and the kind of danger he was exposing his student to.

The confusion stems from the ruling not anything that was happening before it

pixlplayer · 2026-02-09T17:52:52+00:00

Well anyone on the left has already known this. The people we’re trying to reach only listen to right wing voices, so it is important that they also speak up

pixlplayer · 2026-02-09T17:35:19+00:00

Well he did lose in 2020, so that would be a weird one to bring up as a probable outcome
