I can't believe they put so much effort into that video, dissecting a bit of horribly bad TV writing. The whole subplot with Hera and the senator is garbage to start with. If Leia is the head of some sort of defense council, Hera's interactions should have been with her and that council, not 4 rando senators and the NR chancellor. The whole thing was idiotic to start with. The guys who made the video need to find something more important to channel their energy into.
Nope. The claim was that Hera was depicted as a fascist. That couldn't be further from the truth. Insubordination is not even a sign of fascism. The dude has no clue.
Technically Hera used her own starship, the Ghost, to check up on a Fulcrum mission/Jedi business. Some X-wings decided to tag along to investigate reported Imperial activity, which would be one of their jobs. At most she was AWOL doing a personal follow-up on a Jedi mission that she had lost contact with mid-transmission.
This just in; Poe is also a fascist.
Now you see, there's a key difference between Hera and Poe which must be taken into consideration when criticizing them...
Poe is different because....
oh.
Awkward.
oh.
Awkward.
"You're a communist."
"You're a fascist."
"I'm not. I'm nothing."
"You're a fascist."
"I'm not. I'm nothing."
Indeed, it's usually quite the opposite given how blindly following orders and obeying authority is kind of a hallmark of such people.
That video is almost as dumb as the holographic dance sequence in The Holiday Special, with the key exception being that the Wookiee hologram program HAD MORE OF A POINT.
I know recall Kirk was quite fascist in Amok Time, acting on his own to go to Vulcan ignoring admiral's orders.
It has nothing to do with her being a woman.Now you see, there's a key difference between Hera and Poe which must be taken into consideration when criticizing them...
I am told it isn't easy being green. Though it could be the lekku. Or that Hera is a senior general of the New Republic, while Poe's like a squadron leader or maybe a wing commander in the Resistance.
I am not sure, but I would think Hera would be in charge of Starfighter Command.

Poe was an impulsive idiot that basically threw a mutiny-tantrum because as a freshly demoted officer that got most of their fighter and bomber squadrons killed, he wasn't kept in the loop with all high level decisions. Never mind the fact that the new CO was as much of a rebel veteran as Leia (and lifelong friend to boot.) It was 100% a pointless ego trip. Nothing more, nothing less.
Hera on the other hand was chasing down an existential threat to the New Republic she helped create, despite politically motivated bureaucratic roadblocks from a career fence-sitter. It's not that Hera can't or won't respect the chain of command, she categorically can and has on numerous occasions regardless of her feelings. It's that she won't follow objectively stupid orders that WILL cost lives, regardless of the potential cost to her career and reputation. She serves the people of the Republic, not it's politicians.
Poe just thought he knew better. Hera actually did know better. There; that's the difference. Mystery solved!

Poe Dameron was to the resistance what Anakin Skywalker was to the Jedi order.
I mean, I never was under the impression the Force was somehow limited to only Jedi.
