Fools too arrogant and ignorant to realize they were being used as meat shields by the most cowardly, unmasculine men imaginable.



I said this would happen. The Republicans love using women as scapegoats.

Once more Epstein stuff comes out, they'll inevitable try to say it was all Melania, and trump was innocent.

It's actually a socialist story

Asta wants to become the biggest class traitor in favour of the proletariat

It's like if someone became Elon Musk and used all the money to make unions

The problem here is that we have the usual "you can access success if you work hard enough".. which is a prime capitalist and meritocratic belief system. (it is the reason why people usually defend capitalism in the first place)..

But I'm not mad... it's something that is shared by many shonen (One Piece included, even tho it's not that obvious), it's just that I just started this specific story and it made me laugh to see it so blatlantly stated, so I wanted to dunk on it a little

Had this odd thought.
So in America, Zionism is basically a centrist position with both moderate republicans and democrats supporting Israel.

This, among other things, has made it to where Islam in the US is something of a counterculture.

Muslims are notably prominent on the far left of American politics, with antizionism, anti-Islamophobia, and pro immigrant sentiment basically uniting Muslims with the left. You can’t see this with Mamdani, Sayed, and others.

but I wonder if perhaps there is a comparable parallel on the far right. Because the extreme far right(open Neo-Nazis and white supremacists) likewise share antizionist sentiment, viewing Zionism as anti-“America First” and anti-Christian. There are also aspects of fundamentalist Islam that are tbh a bit misogynistic and could resonate with incels. Lastly while many Muslims are immigrants or from immigrant families, Muslims could also be pitted against Hindu Indian immigrants, which the far right similarly view as a 5th column.

I feel like as Muslims continue to assimilate into the US, you will probably see more prominent Muslims on the far right, kind of as an inverse to people like Mamdani. You can already kinda see it with folks like the Tate bros, Sneako, and Myron Gaines. Granted they are kinda irrelevant bozos, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they could be the forerunners of a more prominent Muslim-right in the US.

The American right wing is an opposition party, and Muslims/brown people are one of their main targets right now

they’ll never openly accept a Muslim block into their ranks because the Christian right directly opposes that

Any Muslim man with a brain will therefore vote Democrats because Democrats seek to protect minority rights. Issue we may be running is how some leftist love to run apologia to Islamic extremism at the expense of party values at times.

To be honest I have always found Shonen politic quites funny and interesting in that appeal.

On one side they are the right arm of capitalism and meritocracy, reenforcing meritocratic and big exploitative myths about hard work and success.....on the other they almost constantly depict a character that is gifted by design either through natural biological talent or external forces.

This creates a realm of stories that can appeal both to rightist AND extrem leftist in the sense that most of the thematics of these stories are progressing toward leftism while keeping a rightist idealism

One Piece is maybe the strangest mix of both. On one side you have a power system based on will and strenght of character, an idealism and romanticism about the importance of following our dreams an,d the fact that everyone can achieve greatness with enough time and training and on the other side, you have the premisses of a materialist understanding, the notions of socialities, the impact of youth, the powers of systems over societies etc.

It's quite interesting.
