Reminds me of this scene from Andor:

-----

Luthen: Turning back will be impossible. You knew where this was going. You've always knew. Has anyone ever made a weapon that wasn't used? The network has been built. It's up. It grows or it dies. We've waited long enough.

Mon: Do you realise what you've set in motion?

Luthen: It was time for that as well.

Mon: Palpatine won't hestiate now.

Luthen: Exactly. We need it. We need the fear. We need them to over-react.

Mon: You can't be serious!

Luthen: The empire has been choking us so slowly we're starting not to notice. The time has come to force their hand.

Mon: People will suffer!

Luthen: That's the plan. You're not angry with me. I'm just saying out loud what you already know. There will be no rules going forward. If you're not willing to risk your conscious then surrender and be done with.
