I’m reminded of that scene from “Red Dawn” at the makeshift re-education camp in that drive-in theatre. Harry Dean Stanton’s character Mr. Eckert tells his boys not to cry and as they leave, calls out to them “Avenge me!” That’s the backbone a captive should have. Don’t cry for me, don’t sacrifice your freedom for mine; “Avenge me.” If only I can be that strong if ever in such circumstances.

Your invocation of Red Dawn is spot on.

AVENNNNGE MEEEE ! indeed.

It is perhaps one of the greatest movies of all time on the subject of resistance to a cruel oppressor, if you ignore all the stupid parts.
