I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.
I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the "ironic" fascist to actual fash pipeline.
Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck
It's funny to me how common the trope of "good guys win only to not do anything to fundamentally change society to address root conflict and end up where they started come the sequel" is. End-of-History liberalism in a nutshell.
