Also "Zabist" is sort of a blanket term for Zekes that still fixate on the Zabi dynasty rather than Deikunist/Contolist spacenoid liberation ideology. They got used to having a prince and they miss it. "Gihrenists" are hardcore fascists & that's who got purged from the RoZ. They ended up with Delaz.

Yeah I read it because I'm fascinated by the period between 0079 and 0083 but... there's not really anything there. I was sort of invested in the story of the Feddies attempting a prison break but like I said there was just way too many "check out this sexy child" moments

Yeah and he hated it because it sucked and the upsettingly big-boobed 14-year-old Haman Karn wouldn't leave him alone!
(I am going off the memories of a manga I stopped reading because the art sucked and also boy oh boy did it sexualize 14-year-old Haman Karn)

These would be the guys who insist that Operation British wouldn't have wrecked the world if the Tianem Fleet hadn't knocked Iffish off course. They either deny the gassing or play it off as limited strikes against military targets. They haven't figured out how to dismiss Mahalese Zeon like Garahau

Zabist bittereinders all went to Axis! Except for the real freaks who ended up in the Delaz Fleet or any other paramilitary org with a marble bust of Gihren ripe for secret kisses

RoZ ships are obligated by treaty to have high-albedo color schemes but the treaty didn't make the same provision for suits, & while many still wear factory paint more and more of them are Ral blue & some of them sport officially disapproved House of Ral crests. Crest shows up in RoZ tattoos as well

I once tried to get a Gundam FATE rpg campaign going set in 0080 on a wrecked colony jointly administered by the Feddies and the Republic of Zeon and made it canon that the RoZ military is dominated by "Ralists," basically Zekes who blamed the defeat on the Zabis but otherwise good Contolists.

"Mr. Ral, who drew all these pretty pictures?"
"Losers. Now show me how to strip and clean a UC 0022 Federation issue squad automatic rifle. They only made a few hundred of them for spec ops troops & even those didn't work too well but you never know what weapon you're going to need in a firefight."

It should be noted that this is basically the only way Hogg deviates from the party line. He's a doctrinaire Democrat in every way except for his unwillingness to bend the knee to the doddering mummy-people that have ruined his generation's life and they can't fucking stand that.

How did this murderous himbo spend most of his childhood living with a Spanish aristocrat in an actual manor and not pick up a familiarity with Renaissance painters? He couldn't have spent ALL of his time fencing

Twice as pretty as "abhorrent" doesn't really sound like much of an improvement

Every time I think about hate it reminds me of this from an interview with Alexander Cockburn. Apart from the dunk on Milliband, it feels very important to me that my hate is pure, uncontaminated by bias or petty irritations, a source of power to draw upon when everything else is exhausted

I would feel way safer with guardies around than regular cops. Unlike cops, they probably didn't join up looking to bully people, and also unlike cops they're actually properly trained in firearms safety. Cops are infamously lazy and reckless with the guns we trust them with - look up "Glock leg"

Oh look, a change in headline wasn't enough, they deleted the original post and rewrote the article
Also, nice to know everyone is living in a "period of correction" now
