I Spent Six Years in Wizard College To Learn Magic, But There Aren't Any Wizarding Jobs, So Now I'm Trapped In Eternal Dept And I Flip Burgers at Burger King
There are 47 comments if this is another Freiren thread istg I'm putting you all on time out
It's about Venezuela idk if that's better or worst than Freiren debates.
No no it's pretty close to a struggle about I Was Kidnapped And Taken To The Demon King's Castle And Now I Can't Get A Good Night's Sleep
We’ve had a struggle about the goat of sleepy-core anime? Smdh
Maduro is the princess.
Ah, thought i missed something problematic in the anime, tried to search for it, found nothing
Nah my jokes are just bad and don't land
Nono, it makes perfect sense, probably would have been clearer (for me) without a link or light paraphrasing 
I yearn for isekai that isn't power fantasies mixed with imperialism, let be a multi coalition power of friendship deal that saves the day.
Try the OG isekai - Aura Battler Dunbine. It's a Yoshiyuki Tomino joint, so there's imperialism and a spiraling arms race but the author is trying to tell folks that's a bad thing.
Edit:
let be a multi coalition power of friendship deal that saves the day
Lord of the Rings without the questionable bits lol
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but SAO:Alicization actually sort of did that, with a driving theme of "the artificial human souls in this simulated world are still ultimately human and deserve their own liberation and safety, while the imperialist warmongers fucking with them to make automated weapons are ontologically evil". It even made the point that the "evil" races of the world were also still literally just people who were being forced into a role they didn't want and in fact actively rebelled against.
It's just that it's still SAO and has more of the other kind of SA than ever before too. But on the other hand it does have Kirito depowered and/or in a coma for like 95% of it.
It's not good by any measure, but it's the least bad that mainline SAO ever was. It's an enjoyable hate-watch that somehow ends up with sort of ok major themes to it.
Too bad i have no fucking clue how it relates to the original sword art online or it might have been interesting 
What about the isekai doctor manga where it's just a doctor teaching people medicine and the only people who have a problem with it are human supremacists who wish to monopolize (flawed, not omnipotent) healing magic to do imperialism on others
I was really surprised to find a couple more good stories there - the Years of Apocalypse and Sky Pride. The first is a time loop story that eventually realises that materialism and global people's struggle (rather than a single superpowered time looper forcing things) is required to make actual long-lasting change in the world post-loop and avert magical climate catastrophe. Also that you should immediately assassinate most of the intelligence apparatus.
The latter is the exceedingly rare cultivation story that has actually read the religious material those settings are based on and so the main struggle across the story is to challenge the ossified power relationship where wannabe-immortal demigods conflate detachment with enlightenment through self-serving interpretations of philosophy and filial piety (Daoist superpowers for me, Confucianism for thee, better luck in your next Buddhist reincarnation).
Digimon
i was level 100 and challenged the demon lord to a duel but everybody laughed at me and refused to take me seriously because i had no social capital and then i died a second time when i drank poisoned tea
that first one is kind of the plot of frieren
I mean not really, the plot goes to some lengths to point out all kinds of background heroes did alot of the heavy lifting tackling the bulk of the demon army
In fact there are hints that the disillusionment over the lack of recognition for these acts may be behind a certain character's motivation to commit homicidal actions against mages
Tbf don’t the games usually have you going through henchmen and henchwomen before reaching final boss?
In the story telling of the big baddie games you implicitly (and explicitly) wrecking the (demon) society while getting good at game, i assume same is true of gamer anime
In games you have to kill all the demon generals before you get to fight the big bad! Each one unlocks a new region.
But don’t the isekais follow that plot structure, broadly speaking? Leveling up by killing demon generals or whatever? And not go immediately after big baddie
Depends on the show tbh. I see a lot where they only go after the generals because they have no idea where the demon king actually is.
The idea that decapitation strikes don't work because of systemic forces has been totally disproved by Maduro.
Removing Maduro didn't do anything beyond appeasing the egos of American politicians. He was open to a lot of the stuff the current government is doing, but the US wouldn't negotiate with him at all.
I don't think Maduro would be deporting people he received in prisoner exchanges with the US back to the US like the current gov is doing.
Not true, the kidnapping of Maduro also made a bunch of online armchair leftists immediately abandon dialectical materialist thinking in favour of an entirely vibes based approach where they read every western statement about Venezuela completely uncritically and get mad that Venezuela isn't fighting the US down to every man, woman and child in the country.
All oil revenues go through a US controlled fund in Qatar, US writes checks and disburses oil money to Venezuela.
Venezuela released thousands of "political prisoners" aka comprador Gusano violent right-wingers and they deported Alex Saab back to the USA, who Maduro's government negotiated to bring back to Venezuela
The government has begun instituting neoliberal policies and working with US government and US capitalists
Oil has been redirected, Venezuela no longer attempts to send anything to Cuba but instead sends it to the USA where it even has been seen to be immediately redirected to Israel
This isn't vibes. You are projecting. We are the ones describing materialist things.
"If you're openly taking meetings with the CIA where you plan to help them with clandestine ops and handing over Maduro's cabinet members to the US in return for nothing, then you may be collaborating with the US" is not a"Vibes based approach" and if it is then I'll take my "Vibes" over your "Actually collaborating with the US is good" based approach.
Why are you even a communist if you think every setback and issue a communist country has is proof of the US's undying might? Seriously, why are you even here if you clearly think the US is eternal and undefeatable and every communist movement so fragile that any assault on them is just proof of their revolutionary movement collapsing? Communism clearly doesn't work in your worldview, so why the fuck are you even here?
I'm literally the person arguing that you can and should resist the hegemon and acquiescence isn't inevitable.
Do you read posts before you respond, or do you just go off your inherent belief that you're the one true communist?
And how do you even square your belief that you're the one true communist with your seeming belief that actually revisionism isn't worth criticising?
Was Maduro proposing letting the US set up a CIA "partnership" with Venezuela?
Perhaps "do execution strikes work" is the wrong question compared to "in which situations and by which metrics do execution strikes work"....... Hmmmm, yes, quite.......
I don't think "do decapitation strikes work" was ever the right angle to approach it. The conditions in Venezuela took time to work to the point where a decap worked. That process happened slowly, the decap happened suddenly. A materialist approach would be to analyze how venezuela got to this point, where a country like Iran was so much more resilient.
Decapitation strikes work, when they can tip the balance in struggle between two or more relatively equal factions, and fail, when one faction is absolutely dominant.
