I am so glad modern Gundam has moved beyond UNDERSTANDING.

Critical support for the Dawn of Fold in their efforts to resist Spacian oppression.

(Shaddiq being a closet Maoist was a twist I wasn't expecting.)

    That's the thing, Gundam used to have that message.

    OG Gundam (0079) is just good ol' Nazi punching, and most UC timeline stuff is "Imperialism breeds fascism".

    Gundam had it's lib moment in the 90's, but OG Gundam was written by a communist, and it seems we've finally come full circle.
