They Are Both Not wrong, Also Not Deflection, Simple Statement Of Fact
How is it not deflection when it’s used to curb criticism? Is it your opinion that facts cannot be used as deflection when they aren’t relevant purely because it is a truth?
the Sith are the wolves at the door.
The Republic is a really shitty, busted up, almost useless door.
getting rid of the door is not going to help you.
Criticism of the door is not advocating for the wolves. You’re doing the thing.
You’re projecting.
I too criticized the door, and did so without advocating for the wolves.
Exactly what you did.
You called yourself a motherfucker this day.
Maybe replacing the busted up door with a new one is a good idea?
It’s not like you have to choose between only two options.
Unless you kill the wolves first, they will kill you the moment you attempt to replace the door because in order to put a new door up you must take this one down.
You’re right. I guess accepting a mediocre bare-minimum forever is the best we should expect.
It’s almost as if the broken door’s existence depends on the fear of the wolf.
Or you could replace pieces of the door until is brand new without giving too much chance of the wolf bust inside.
Since one of the founding members of the new republic later forms yet another resistance group, maybe they aren’t better than the empire.
Well, I think Leia got kicked out of the New Republic when people figured out that Vader was her father. And I’m pretty sure the resistance was to fight against the First Order, not the New Republic.
That makes the new republic so much worse. It requires active effort to be as incompetent as they are written.
100% agreed. The New Republic was such a disaster that it wasn’t even believable in the sequel trilogy, which was one of many (many, many, many) things they were criticized for.
I do like how they are expanding on that in The Mandalorian by showing that it was infiltrated and sabotaged by imperial loyalists. In fact Tim Meadows’ character in this meme was one such imperial loyalist infiltrator. So it’s not that they were solely incompetent due to having no plan. But their plan was to rehabilitate and assimilate the former imperials, but the rehabilitation part failed, so former imperials pretended to be rehabilitated and then just sabotaged the New Republic.
They are expanding on it out of necessity, and I believe it is just retconning because of how poorly thought out the sequel trilogy was. But I am enjoying the story we are getting out of it nonetheless.
