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.

One of the things I have a hard time with about early run JoJo is how politically weird Part 2 was. I definitely appreciate the "Homage to Indiana Jones" angle but I think Araki may not really have appreciated how fucked up the Axis were at the time.
As an aside, for any Tecmo fans, someone on Ninja Gaiden (AC)'s devteam was clearly a fan of early run JoJo. This came out right around when Battle Tendency was still being doled out.
I mean, hmmmmm the first thing the nazi Stroheim does is trick a young boy and slaughter his entire village and made him think it was his fault in order to revive an ancient vampire with their blood. American JoJo and Italian Zeppelli being buddy buddy with an unrepentant and enthusiastic SS Colonel is simply realistic to me.
You're right in that he softened Stroheim over the course of the manga to make him more relatable so you could root for him when he's trying to stop Kars with JoJo and then had him die valiantly in Stalingrad like some sort of hero
Everybody forgets how he had Mexican sex slaves that he cut up too in that one short scene
