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 wow-cool-robot 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)

yea

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.

The Bandai employees at the Gundam Factory wearing Federation uniforms is also pretty wow-cool-robot lol.

If I can't build Gundams to it, it's not my revolution.

Every day your one job is to build a gunpla model. You start off with low grades and some wire cutters and by the time you graduate you're building real Gundams for the people's army.
