No the LA riots do NOT parallel the plot of Gundam!
4 months ago
Someone social media made the dumbest comment on a post in a Gundam Facebook group. The idiot implied the plot of Mobil Suit Gundam Ironblood Orpahns was some how a parallel to the current LA riots!
If you don't know Iron Blood orphans is about child soldiers forming a mercenary company who get drawn into a conflict between Martian colonists for freedom from the representatives of an Earth based goverment who see them self as nobles and want to enforce a midevil European style class system useing giant mecha as the primary means of conflict.
The LA riots on the other hand is goverment irresuction initiated by angry liberals and opportunistic criminals over the issue of illegal immigration. They are destroying and looting Los Angeles because immigration enforcement is deporting illegal economic migrants who still identify as citizens of other countries but want the benefit of US citizen ship with out paying into the system. Thier only justification is that some people who actually want US citizenship will be detained and the sitting president is an asshole.
News flash not the same. A fictional struggle abiut the autonomy of colonists vs an absentee goverment is nit the same as a temper tantrum that bad brown people are being punished for breaking the law by "Evil Orange Man". Breaking things, burn8ng up cars, looting and posting cringe dance videos on TikTok is not how you help the people who land to become legal US citizens when they get caught up with Criminals being deported back where they belong! Your not helping some Mexican guy who wants American citizen ship by smashing in widows or stealing a flat screen TV and demanding everyone Latino with mexican citizen including ones who came to the US just to send all thier money back to Mexico and not pay taxes or sell drugs be allowed to stay and claim benefits of the citizens if your own dammed country!
