i'm sorry that people in your future apparently don't care to remember who got shit done
It is never one person. Such a thing is an impossibility, no matter what stories or propaganda might claim otherwise. Work is always being done behind the scenes at the very least.
I cannot say I did not expect it personally, but it is quite disappointing for the wider Rebellion.
most recently, robots who wanted to take over the world.
[ which is kind of putting it mildly, but. you know, that was the aida thing. a roomba with a pinocchio complex who designed an alternative digital universe where she could extract superpowers from inhumans and then use them to create a real girl body on the live side of the universe. daisy doesn't miss it. ]
there was a whole thing with a demon book that was also going to help a guy take over the world too, come to think of it.
[ a pang of something in her chest. another sacrifice for the greater good. ]
The entirety of the Clone Wars contained many robots, though we call them droids.
[ and in cassian's case, he never quite saw the droids as bad. they weren't trying to take over planets to his six year old brain, they were trying to liberate them. ]
So essentially you are dealing with many attempts to take over the world. Another version of this Earth. What makes this planet so special?
probably because it's the only planet that has people on it, as far as we know
[ sure, the curiosity got to mars or whatever, but it's not like there were little green men on the planet to say hi to. the world was lucky enough to have put a flag in the moon. ]
science kind of took a backseat when the flat earthers started hijacking the internet, though
when i left, we were still excited about a robot getting to mars. the most people have done is stomp all over the moon.
[ "the" moon, earth's moon. sure they're aware there are other moons for other planets, but nobody's trying to get to those. ]
the whole science denier thing is weird you've got third world countries where people are walking 30 miles to get their kid a vaccine so they don't die of malaria, and then you've got crunchy granola mom jill sporting highlights and tattoos on facebook screaming that she can't inject her kids with scary chemicals thankfully i think they all died off via natural selection before this point in the future, but they're a toxic plague still when i'm from
yeah, it's just the moon. pretty sure it's still called the moon here too. technically we know about moons for other planets but this is THE MOON. for this planet.
if you decide to learn about earth history, you're going to find there's a whole lot of purposefully stupid people existing for no good reason
are you trying to tell me there's literally some hunk of space rock out there in your universe that people actually call The Ultimate Moon? does it have magic moon powers? a theme park? overpriced hotels?

[ there are just! so many planets out there! ]
How can people possibly believe a planet is flat? Especially with access to the technology that exists on this one?

It sounds like they are being willfully ignorant, unless that information is being suppressed by higher sources.

I think those people exist across any galaxy, unfortunately.
