The BNHA arc kinda reminds me of the way Faunuses were treated in RWBY. They're set up as a discriminated minority with legitimate ongoing grievances, but then the authors try to "both sides" it by having their liberation group go too far by doing terrorism and not caring about innocent casualties so that they can be the bad guys. In the end you get some liberal idealism about changing peoples' hearts but you just know that the underlying problems haven't actually been addressed.
Weird how when hack writers try and be morally gray they turn oppressed peoples into antagonists who do performatively evil shit, Im sure that isnt reflective of any societal anxieties though.

We all know the 'hearts and minds' strategy the US employed in Vietnam, Iraq War 2, and in the War in Afghanistan famously worked very well
