And none of your parents or you did anything to deter it.

Like, do you know me or why do make such claims? Feels a little unnecessary.

Thank you. So the manga is critical of Israel, which is a part of the original story they removed from the new anime. No place for critical art in capitalism, sadly.

Dont know the context in which Israel gets mentioned in the original or Ghorantl in the new anime. Could you maybe fill me in on that?

Besides that, my hopeful interpretation is that the creators dont believe Israel would (still) exist in tga universe

So me repeating the same talking point someone else made already more eloquently is somehow better than pointing to it so someone can engage with it in its most effective form? I am not a robot, no thanks, feel free to watch the video. If you need help to find the relevant section, I can provide time stamps.

Its so funny that your exact argument is mentioned and refuted in the linked video in my original comment. Feel free to watch it, its made in good faith from someone who would love to see MLs actually engage with their historical revisionism.

Well you actually do call everyone fascist, even (other) antifascists, as can be easily seen two comments further up …

Ah yeah everyone that critiques ML communism has to be fascist. Social democrats, anarchists, non ML marxists etc just seem to non existent when MLs try to defend their propaganda. Pretty weak reply tbh

Same but it left a deep impression and thats why tge connection came do eadily to me

Xposted because it reninded me of the anime. link to most recent discussion thread I could find

Next step: Oppose federal billionaire tax, embrace global one.

How does the situation in farm country Japan matter to me when I miss my train and have to wait 1 or 2 hours for the next one?

Happy for those that get to use those trains, but thats just not a universal train experience

I wish that would be true

Even if reading comprehension would be a mayor factor in this discussion, I want to be able to write out my thoughts in a way that is easily understood by different levels of reading comprehension. I think its also about context awareness which I sometimes struggle with. And also going the extra mile of writing out disclaimers so there is not such a response based on assumptions.

and I do so love (/s) how often the people who are supposed to be on my side will use misogynistic/homophobic/transphobic language to do so

Yeah I feel like people are not really great at seeing how this can hurt their own comrades and those groups whoe they want to support as well.

Thanks you for your feedback. I appreciate it. While I personally wouldn’t read it exactly that way, it seems like a pretty big amount of people do.

But I would like to say that your comment is not really a reply to my comment. I replied to someone stating:

Yes. Your whole concept is that if you do something the fascists do then you’re the same thing.

While you argued that my comment has to be read as that:

This cannot mean anything other than you think antifa and nazis wear masks for the same reason.

Those things are not the same, because the being the “same thing” and to “wear masks for the same reason” are pretty different from each other IMO. But I think somehow many people read those things as being basically the same. Would you also see it as pretty much the same?

Everything what you wrote is just based on this assumption:

Your whole concept is that if you do something the fascists do then you’re the same thing.

Which is just not true. But maybe that misunderstanding highlights where I could work on my phrasing.

Wow what a classist thing to say.

You are just wrong here. Being able see fascists motivations, understanding their reasoning and figuring out their strategies is one of the keys to defeat them. And you don’t have to treat them differently just because you are able to make sense out of their behavior, because why should you?

Yeah I think this very much fits my experience, also with the way people call themselves

Sorry but I doubt anyone knowing the word pusilanimous would actively decide to use the easily misunderstood short form.
