Attack on Titan, Signs of Fascism: Politics According to the Genius of Isayama

The last season of attack on Titan it’s much deeper than it seems. Here is a whole series of analogies that seem to collide between the politics of the Jeagerists and that of Fascimo through a synthesis of the great genius of Hajime Isayama.

The references allowed by the author of the work, Isayama’s sensei, to illuminate this masterpiece are so many and extremely subtle that connecting them all is not an easy task. One thing is certain, however: the author has exploited real reality to make politics around the empire of Eldia, that of Marley and the Jeagerists [vedi anche l’Ipotesi di Marley in Attack on Titan].

But what does that mean Fascism with the Jeagerists? While Isayama remains a work of fiction, there are some elements so close it makes one shudder. Let’s see together what are the points in question thanks to the user vincent5126 who linked everything to the famous essay by Umberto Eco titled”primal fascism“.

1. the cult of action above the law;
2. contempt for the elitism of the poor/popular;
3. Dissent is treason;
4. exploiting middle/young class feelings of public humiliation;
5. leaders with a strong connection to the people;
6. the hero cult;
7. the nation first. Nothing and nobody, not even people, are relevant;
8. selective populism and the use of terms to limit critical thinking;
9. Humiliated by the wealth and strength of foreign enemies. The obsession of an enemy outside and the constant state of alert;

At the end of the news, you can look at the key points point by point, with which these 9 passages flow perfectly Line of the Jaagerists and Floch. And you instead, what do you think of this incredible hypothesis? Let us know with a comment below.
