Since no one gave the serious answer yet: term used by philosophers Deleuze and Guattari

In critical theory, deterritorialization is the process by which a social relation, called a territory, has its current organization and context altered, mutated or destroyed.

In the meme it's how the characters in these sorts of stories have become so alienated by capital that they need to resort to extreme violence to change their social relations (usually in a self-destructive way, because revolution is precluded by the material conditions in the imperial core in these narratives).

Since no one has mentioned it yet:

Chainsaw Man is a story about how our relationship to capitalism is the same as being in an abusive relationship, Manufacturing Consent is just grooming and that at the end of the day we have to eat the rich. (It's not explicitly Marxist but it's class conscious the same way shows like Parasite or Squid Game are.)

Imo Turn A is perfectly fine standalone. It'll help to be familiar with Gundam shows as a concept, but I think the core conceit is strong enough that you can go in mostly blind and be fine

Gundam are not explicitly marxist but political themes lean into marxism at times. Some shows better than others, I'm not a gundam expert.

Just to add, Tomino (the guy who made the original 0079 Gundam) had a similar background to Ghibli's Miyazaki (they're the same age and they worked together on World Masterpiece Theater) and was also active in the student union's in the 60's. All the stuff he made is extremely class conscious. "Everything he makes is marxist in some way whether he still calls himself one or not." applies to him as well, even if in public nowadays he's kinda ultra liberal.

The show I'd recommend from him is Turn A Gundam, which besides being a beautiful high-concept Sci-fi show (that I won't spoil) is also explicitly about settler colonialism.

Edit for basic fact checking lol

We keep joking about PC Gamer being a communist magazine but holy shit we've straight up got links to marxist.org in the article

The post before that was amazing too

When I was a kid, I used to pick all the super outlandish dialogue options just to see how far the game would accommodate absolute incoherence.

But then they stopped making games like Fallout and started making games like Mass Effect.

Nowadays I don't really have time to do novelty runs and I don't find it fun to play as an asshole so yeah, it's communism time in Disco Elysium Baay-beeeee!

(And my Baldur's Gate 3 character is a goody-two-shoes so now Astarion won't bang me, THERE ABSOLUTELY ARE BLOODY CONSEQUENCES )

Light's face when he can't use the Death Note because his opponent went on a bender so bad he can't even remember his own name.

Tonight We Riot

It's a very short arcade game, but the devs are comrades and should be supported.
