Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

For some context, the woman pictured is the incarnation of War (hence her love for America).
More context: Nuclear weapons got erased from reality in the past, weakening her. But the US is so bloodthirsty they ended up reinventing them from first principles.
Wait is chainsaw man kinda based ? Or at least has something to say?
Chainsaw Man is extremely based and absolutely has something to say. It's a very political series, and Fujimoto is a supremely talented writer. I'd recommend giving it a try.
I thought the series was going to be for chuds tbh because of Elon and Milei constantly referencing it.
Now I feel bad and I should probably give it a chance and read it.
Would you not watch the matrix because “redpill” is now incel lingo?
You could force feed them messaging and chuds would still vomit up the point. Bad metric
It's honestly insane that Milei like co-opted a series about a guy living in crushing poverty being used as a meat shield by an uncaring government. Like the themes explored in the series are so against bootstrap libertarianism.
DO NOT TAKE THESE PEOPLE'S INTERPRETATION OF ANY MEDIA SERIOUSLY. You could give them the most based leftist piece of fiction ever and they'd still manage to convince themselves that it's right wing somehow. Elon literally thinks that Karl Marx's writing are pro capitalists, that's how media illiterate these bozos are.
I'm not familiar with this. Are they just using the name because they think it fits their chainsaw motif?
I think it's more trying to do the whole
routine.
Probably lol.
They compared them on the news.
He would show up with merch or cosplay.
It was weird.
The comments on that thread are hell.
Do you know which came first, the weird news bit or Milei doing this stuff?
That's a good question. Now I'm curious, too.

His one-offs are also amazing, especially “Goodbye, Eri” and “Look Back”. I was actually kinda thinking of showing the Look Back film this Friday but I’ll probably ask people first.
Oh I had no idea he wrote Look Back. That movie is so heartbreaking.
I read up until
Spoiler
Denji starting school after eating Makima and Power being gone but I thought it dropped the government conspiracy recruiting devil hunter plot line so I got bored and dropped it.Part 2 does take a while to get going, it probably reads better now in a binge rather than week to week
Great, I'll hop back on then
Yeah Part 2 has a very slow start, and shifts focus to another character entirely for a bit. Very much worth it to read more imo
In addition to what others posted, the main character Denji (AKA Chainsaw Man) is only 16 years old. The adults around him are constantly abusing and manipulating him due to his powers. Sure, he's a horny teenager with zero education. Yet nobody around him is looking out for his best interests or raising him to be a functional adult.
It's one of the major themes in the series. This is just a kid being sent to face horrors from literal Hell with no regard to what kind of impact this could have on his psyche.
