Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
There’s a bunch which are critical of American hegemony like Code Geass but then it’s a 50/50 split whether the director trips head first into nationalism or not
Majestic Prince was a mecha show that was kinda ok, but probably only because it was trying really hard to copy Leiji Matsumoto works like Space Battleship Yamato
Oh right, the other new-ish non-Gundam mecha show that came out that was decent was 86, the first season of which is basically a giant tear down of the kind of performative support for the oppressed that liberals do, alongside an exploration about what being an ally really means. Show was really heavy tho.
I still remember mfers on r/anime saying that the depiction of racism and fascism in the show was too exaggerated and unbelievable. I wonder what they think about what's happening in real life in Gaza now, or if they even think about it at all.
Yeah, I'm mad about Article 9. Mad that it's been interpreted to allow Japan any weapons at all 
Well, that’s because the US realized a no weapons policy would prevent the U.S. from having military bases and also just using Japan as a vassal state
Mechanime 1963-1980: Haha big robot fights monsters and EEEEEVIL mad scientists! (buy our toys, kids!)
Mechanime 1980-1995: Imperialism and war fucking suck, we need to create a better society where it won't happen anymore! (SUNRISE: buy our toys, kids!)
Mechanime 1995-2006: Have you heard of a show named Neon Genesis Evangelion? (buy our skimpy-clothed figurines, otaku!)
Mechanime 2006-Now: 50% chance it's right wing nonsense and 50% chance it's trying to recapture the golden age of Mechanime and is unlikely to have succeeded.
Mechanime 1980-1995: Imperialism and war fucking suck, we need to create a better society where it won't happen anymore! (SUNRISE: buy our toys, kids!)
This is how we got the unironic Zeon stans. Just pure 
because no one explained to the kids who bought Zaku's why War is Bad.
(Because we're on Hexbear someone is going to link that red sails article about propaganda now lol)
will communism have gunpla?
Every day your one job is to build a gunpla model. You start off with low grades and some wire cutters and by the time you graduate you're building real Gundams for the people's army.
