I was being a bit facetious. I think it has its radical elements, and SU Future very intentionally complicates the argument of the show, but its writers have the perspective of creative professionals in the imperial core, and this is made clear in the decision to make the villain an explicitly settler-colonial force which is resisted and then redeemed through the power of forgiveness.
i mean i feel like most lib cartoons i watch have the villains become wacky friendly side characters after they're defeated
Steven Universe, a children's cartoon I enjoy, is the ultimate lib show, and is all about becoming friends with the bad guys.
trying to remember if Adventure Time was the same or if the "storyline" was too cooked to even have character arcs that weren't love stories
