After the scene where Lucy gives Cooper the chems and says "Golden Rule, motherfucker." He is eventually taken in by the government where they accuse him of turning over the super duper mart. It would've been so easy for Cooper to be like "it was actually this vault dweller that's super easy to find bc she sticks out like a sore thumb." But he didn't. He told them he did it, and even taunted them further before ultimately killing them.
My theory is he did it because he didn't want them to go after her/kill her. Because Golden Rule, motherfucker.

Louis might not be chucking bricks at No. 10, but people are responding like he’s never displayed leftist politics or challenged a government position on anything. He supported demands to the government about a fix for UK touring musician post Brexit and Marcus Rashford’s petition about food insecurity. He fought the police about their social media use in 2018 and criticised the UK government position/support for factory workers in the pandemic. The things he speaks about are usually UK issues and meaningful to him or his family and friends. He’s also most likely to speak when he isn’t working. Also that specific anarchy has a punk anti authoritarian message as well. That statement fits Louis pretty well. He has been a poster boy for not sitting down and shutting up and doing what you’re told since 2012. If he was he probably wouldn’t have a solo career and he definitely wouldn’t have sold out the O2.
I like this point about him speaking out more when he's not working, I think that's a really great and useful observation and makes so much sense. I feel like it makes sense in two ways right now: like first, I don't blame him for not wanting to do things that would jeopardize how beautifully everything is going for him right now after the number of setbacks and troubles he's had to get here, it must feel so precarious. And knowing for a fact that any political statement you make will spawn a dozen tabloid stories and all kinds of outrage is bad enough, but add to that the fact that it's simply impossible to predict which thing will turn into a huge viral mess- it's a lot. And second, he's not just working, he's been on TOUR! I've been around musicians my whole life and one constant is that tour is time outside of normal time and life, it's a bubble, it's only paying attention to right where you are and what's in front of you and the people there with you and everything else is put off and neglected, is for when you get home (and have massive post tour letdown depression and fatigue). I'm not saying he can disconnect with the outside world entirely... but putting everything on pause? I would be surprised if it were any other way, and I would be surprised if he's been following the news and counter news and so forth closely enough to feel comfortable speaking out publicly about anything when it will be so scrutinized and picked apart. I would add to your list supporting the rail strike (something we wouldn't even know about if it hadn't been tossed in as an aside by an interviewer in the print only version of a piece, he didn't post about it or anything) and attending and posting about the BLM protests (not to mention telling people to pirate his stuff come on how punk is that), and I agree he is much more likely to speak out about UK issues which makes sense: most people are most moved by issues that are close to their lives in some way, and it's his brand. And I agree that even though as an anarchist I love talking about what anarchism as a political ideology actually is, the symbol does also have a common meaning in the world as just basically standing for anti-authoritarianism, and Louis as a guy who rejects authority and the status quo is nothing new at all and one of the reasons we love him, and in the last few years I feel like he's been going further in that direction both aesthetically and politically, and we love to see it! Plus he has pretty much always sported this slightly punky aesthetic to some degree, even when he was being dressed up like a little ken doll he snuck in skater looks and indie band tees and so forth (something something it's part of why his fanbase was so primed to love his new sound and it wasn't the risk he feared it was because people were always drawn to him who were already into that aesthetic even when his sound wasn't that yet) it's not like it's just a brand new out of nowhere side of him or something.

Dunno who needs to hear it, but just because a government is convinced enough that something might be real that they decide to spend money on researching it (EG, alien spacecraft, quantum jumping) doesn't mean it is.
It's like y'all forgot that time King James (of King James Bible fame) got it into his noggin that the country was overrun with Satanic witches and had a bunch of innocent people tortured and sentenced to death over it.
Sometimes people in government just believe in some crap.

Why is it always “how did you get in here????” And “this is the most secure facility in the world HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!?!?” And never “your new lab coat looks nice”. NONE of the government officials protecting this deadly weapon respect me >:(.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

15W Mycroft is born from a Greek god/goddess. Who are Mycroft’s parents and does Mycroft have any powers?
Once upon a time, there was a girl who was bullied by her friends. Themis, being the goddess of law and order, couldn't bare seeing the injustice so she went down to earth and saved the bullied... The girl was forever indebted to the goddess. Happy with the honest girl, the goddess made time to go down to earth to meet her once in a while. Years go by and as the girl became a woman, her gratefulness also turned into something more romantic. The goddess couldn't be happier to receive the feelings. They...
wait, wait, wait, why are you talking about the story of Mycroft's parents instead?
Okay, I'll skip it. The goddess was pregnant from their seed of love, and with the woman's plea, she transferred the baby into the woman's womb..
hey, we wanna hear about Mycroft NOW!!!
Right! Sorry I sidetracked... Mycroft was born! The woman loved her child as much as the goddess loved him. However, the child grew up mischievous even though nobody taught him. One day, his pranks hurt his mother and this broke the goddess' heart... She cursed blessed her own child with the power of karma, that one day Mycroft would suffer from his deeds. That event changed Mycroft as well. Not because of the 'blessing', but because he saw his mother got hurt because of him. The seed of justice grew inside him, and he punished himself: he sweared an oath to be the law and order himself, even though it would cost his joy and happiness. In the end, he became a man of law and order as he sweared, punishing people with his power of karma. People feared him and saw him as the one who governs, the government itself.
