One of the best books I've ever read, makes crackers so uncomfortable.
It's not like the book says send whitey back to Europe, just that they as a settler class have no vested interest in decolonizing. It's not that controversial imo but I'm Black and also Indigenous so 🤷🏿♂️ spoke to me just fine
"Growing legions"? C'mon man. They could have used "population" or "number" but they had to use "legion" to make them sound scary or bad. Word choice is important.
Whiteness is a social construct, you're totally correct. I think whiteness and white supremacy are intrinsically linked with capitalism and liberalism, as they seek to maintain the illusion of capitalism.
Hm, that first link seems to be from the Great Teacher Onizuka manga, instead of Evangelion, though the Seele symbol is apparently a reference.
Evangelion takes a lot of references and imagery from religion, from Christianity to Judaism what with stuff like angels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Adam and Lilith, etc, but I honestly think it's a reach to directly connect it to Nazism and antisemitism.
Japan was on the side of the Nazis during WWII and never actually apologized for their atrocities, but would that have shown up so blatantly in their media? I'm not sure.
The official media of her in Nazi uniform when she was born in the 21st century is really baffling to me.
Happy birthday, hope you can get some sleep~
