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)
There were more progressive wings in zeonism, like those that would later found the pre-cooption-by-the-federation AEUG, but the leading faction was consistently the fascistic one.
