I’ve been really enjoying Sousou no Frieren and by enjoying I mean feeling like I want to cry.

I’ll need to find something more upbeat next.

    lmao, my apologies, it totally was you. data-laughing chomsky-yes-honey

    That all sounds like fair criticism, I’d say. Sadly, as I’ve given away, my memory is shit. And I watched all these series at much different places in my life, politically. I think I watched IBO as per someone recommending it on r/cth when it first came out. So at the time all these shows seemed radical, and now 7-20 years down the line I’m like, those fucking LIB s.

      now you’ve probably seen me talk about this before, but you should read unjust depths

      it’s a mecha web novel that’s just straight up by a marxist leninist about a postcolonial soviet state called the union in a post apocalyptic earth, where the main characters are on a mission to support revolutionaries in the empire the union revolted from, it’s got the high concept scifi stuff but it never forgets that the core of the story is about colonialism and the evils of capitalism. i cannot recommend it enough
