No, he did not. Luke didn’t start the war, that’s the literal plot of Andor. And, by the way, Cassian Andor is not a good person, the show and movie both make that quite clear. He is a protagonist, yes, and, in my opinion, at his core a good man; but he and those he assists do some terrible things in the name of freedom.
And Luke gets dragged into it when jackbooted thugs burn his home, kill his family, and eventually take one of his hands.
How many innocent Palestinian children’s stories does that man’s path parallel? There are thousands of orphans, thousands of underage amputees currently not getting enough to eat, and still you call for more punishment. Shame on you. Down with the Empire. Long live the Rebellion.
Hmmm, not necessarily all that bizarre. The title on the Lenny link states that 15% of ALL Reddit content is corporate trolls trying to sway public opinion - now that this gentleperson has kindly provided the link to a non-paywall version, I can see that this is 2 studies, one from 2018 and one from 2020, one of which states that 15% of the top 100 subreddits may have experienced corporate trolls and/or bots posting content at some point, but they don’t say how much.
Huge difference between the title and the substance of the article, they buried the lede in a somewhat clever way. Chances are the author (and editor) are well aware that most of their audience doesn’t have an account, and aren’t going to create an account - therefore, by posting a misleading title (or letting others exaggerate the claims in the title through links on other platforms) they can reach a far larger audience, and sway public opinion more effectively, by burying the actual context behind the paywall.
I mean, I don’t know that that is what’s happening, but it makes a lot of sense and kind of rhymes with the whole point of the article, so yeah - I don’t trust their motives either, and I can definitely see the logic behind distrusting paywalls on principle.
