The weirdest replies are the ones saying to "stop looking at politics thru a US perspective."
The people who say that never mean "look at it from a japanese politics perspective". They always mean "stop talking about politics". There are a lot of interesting things to be said about One Piece from a political perspective and how they apply to japan, especially in the Wano arc, but no, they don't want to talk about that either.
No, no. Japan isn't a normal country with the same political issues full of people who worry about and struggle with the same things we do. It's a paradise of waifus and honor!
Don't tell them that since after World War II, any difference between the US political system and the Japanese political system is mostly superficial, and they are basically the same since being vassalized by the United States.
Faux anti-western-chauvinism to defend their treats.
Edit: Oh, actually, it's not even that clever. It's literally just right wingers trying to redefine rightism to mean "less government" and other self-flattering descriptions.
It's funny how it's Americans accusing others of being Americans. They basically want to save right-wing reaction by disavowing the US right (just the republicans though) and pretending the right in the rest of the world is better.
There are some real :galaxy-brain: takes in there. Americans are some of the dumbest, most politically illiterate motherfuckers I have ever seen
like one piece is sometimes trying to hit you over and over with the political part of it, like i could point out to something on the latest chapter that talked about an island where 1000 people die of hunger a day, and 2 marines discuss something bad that someone from there did to feed their family and one of them says that while they don't condone the action, it is hard to not see how the poverty caused this too, come on, like one of the wildest things i saw was the lenghts that people were going through to argue that actually this character that is trans is actually NOT TRANS YOU ARE READING IT INCORRECTLY WITH YOU WESTERN EYES AS THE CHARACTER STARES INTO YOUR EYES THROUGH THE MEDIUM AND SAYS THEY ARE IN FACT TRANS
Oh, sorry, did you perhaps expect political theory from the show for teenagers?? Where you disappointed when Luffy didn't go on a rant about linen for 30 minutes????
Maybe try to read the room and guess what people are talking about before going on a rant.
