    If you watch Andor, this is exactly what one of the lead characters Luthen is trying to accomplish. He’s afraid that if the Empire tightens too slowly that by the time people are upset with the changes it will be too late. So he wants the rebellion to very loudly and publicly attack the Empire to force them to tighten their grip faster which inspires more rebellion.
