Let's be real for a minute here /m/.

Real talk.

If someone like Gihren Zabi cropped up in the real world and started rallying people for a rebellion, coup de grac, new independent nation, or whatever, how many of you would actually support him? And I don't mean +1 a status on Facebook tier support, I mean going to the local Zeon recruiting office and enlisting?

It depends on what they're wanting to rebel against and the principles of the new nation, but if I agree with them then sure. If there were giant robots involved I probably wouldn't be physically fit to pilot one anyway.

Zabi dictatorship was backed by the bourgeosie of Side 3 (for example, the origins of Shin Matsunaga from Encounters in Space videogame), so his movement won't be able to do shit if he has no funding.
And even if he would be funded, I wouldn't support him either. Instead of exploring space and evolving the humanity into newtypes, Girhen promotes the idea of superiority of spacenoids over earthnoids, which is old as fuck and divides humans instead of uniting them as futurous newtypes.

In the good old USA? No. Hypothetical other country? Not likely. Rebellions often result in worse or equally terrible leadership to arise, especially if it isn't made up of an established group of people that share a prior history or a group that was under imperial rule. Side 3 is actually a good example, they were a progressive-thinking hotbed of political activity prior to the revolution and had nearly 80 years of culture. If it weren't for the mass murder and Nazi stuff they could really be seen as sympathetic. But today I can't imagine a group that would desire to enact the ideals of the Principality, or even the Republic of Zeon. None that could succeed and none that I would support goes without saying.

Problem with this OP's question is you're also given all the intentions and knowledge of what said leader like Gihren is planning. It's safe to assume the media was under a tight muzzle during the build up to and during the war. So all the stuff Feddie apologists like to trot out like Zeon's attack of the Federation aligned Sides at the start of the war, wouldn't be general knowledge, and even if it was, they were considered enemies and needed to be disposed of in order to achieve victor. Also the choose people argument only started at Baoa Qu, and it's hard to see if it was what Girhen believed all along or if it was a means to rally the troops since the winner of that battle would have won the war.

Also it's hard to say how well Zeon would do if it was just a nation on Earth as opposed to being a cluster of colonies on the far side of the moon. Mainly because they'd be susceptible o every time of terrestrial and aerial attack.

>>14190082
Hard to say if they were the Bourgeoisie in Marxist sense and not just the political establishments and the families that benefited from supporting the right people based on what we know. The Zabis came to power after Zeon passed away, but that was in part because Degwin was Zeon's second, he took out any rival factions to make sure infighting wouldn't occur in Side 3's government. I would not believe that it was just the Bourgeoisie that allowed Degwin to take power because in the most lucrative fields like Military R&D, they had multiple companies vying for contracts. If the wealthy and well connected had any sort of influence, you'd see these become no-bid contracts and not rewarded to the company that made the 'best' weapon for the job.

I think that if Zabi wasn't a successful businessman, he wouldn't be able to be much of a help to Zeon movement.
For example: Indian independence movement was led by the "national" bourgeosie - those who have benefited from making India an independent subject in economical relations (unlike "comparador" bourgeosie, who benefited from the support of the foreign ruler - the brits/the earthnoids).
> I would not believe that it was just the Bourgeoisie that allowed Degwin to take power because in the most lucrative fields like Military R&D, they had multiple companies vying for contracts.
I suppose that there was almost no military facilities on Side 3 until the death of Zeon Deikun. All they have produced is light firearms, uniform and armor. Again, I suppose that Zeonic and Zimmad companies have partly belonged to a government (or the investors and owners were tied pretty tight with the state, like Krupp family, owners of Daimler-Benz, BMW and other big companies in Nazi Germany).

>>
>>14194462
Degwin Zabi was a shred politician, there is no doubt, it's a matter of finding out how much of a successful businessman he was since politics are business are two separate things even if it looks like they intersect often. Also you have to remember that during the Hitler conversation, Degwin told Girhen that the reason he turned Zeon into a Principality was to quickly unify the people in order to fight for Zeon Zum Deikun's ideals. Now if that would have involved a violent war for true independence, we don't know. (In the case of Origin's version of Deikun, it's implied he wants to declare war on the Earth Federation.) Another thing to note that you never see any of the wealthy citizens or heads of corporations throughout the series. This gives an impression that it's the Zabis that are in charge, with or without the support of the bourgeosie of Side 3,

As for military connections, yeah. Side 3 only had a self defense force when they declared independence and turned it into a free standing army in response to the Federation's massive arm's build up. But none of Zeon's major manufactures (Zeonic, Zimmad or MiP) were part of the government and all civilian owned. In regards to connections, the Zeon government tended to select the best suit for the job so it's much less likely that the executives of the companies had influence over the government. (Otherwise you'd see Zeonic hold an iron grip on mobile suit production and Zeon wouldn't have adopted the Dom for terrestrial combat and stayed with the Gouf.) Plus there were issues of industrial sabotage. (Like Zeonic leaking the information about the Zudah to the Federation.)

Objectively wrong. The 'Zeon is the chosen people!' thing was also in the Garm funeral speech. (The movie version to be exact, so you can't use your usual 'It's not canon because I say so' argument)

>it's hard to see if it was what Girhen believed all along or if it was a means to rally the troops since the winner of that battle would have won the war.

Yeah, let's just completely ignore that time he told his father about his plans to cull the population to make way for the superior people after the war.

>Or the fact that the less people there are, the easier it would be to actually keep uprisings from occurring and another war breaking out?

Only a Gihren-cocksucker like you would use this excuse to justify genocide. Using this retarded logic, the Federation would have been perfectly justified in slaughtering every man, woman and child in Side 3, you know, to nip any future Zeon remnant uprisings in the bud. Of course, if they actually did that, you'd probably be the first to trot it out as proof of how Evil the Federation is like the hypocritical little shit that you are.

>Bwa Mum genocide!
So are you going to deny the fact that larger groups of people bring with it larger amounts of separate interests and conflict? And the only way to end that conflict is to reduce the population as a whole? You're not looking at this from the big picture.

As for the why Federation didn't wipe out Side 3, it's because they barely had any forces left for the push on Side 3. (They probably had enough to destroy it though.) and it would increase the risk of the remaining colonies turning on the Federation. Which happened in Zeta anyway.
>>
>>14201087

> And the only way to end that conflict is to reduce the population as a whole?

Putting aside that that's a horrible solution that only pushes the problem off at best, rather than solving it it's neither the only solution (though I'm not even sure what problem you think it's about) or even guaranteed to work as a short term thing, since those left might still find issue with it (whatever it is), rather than genocide making it a non-issue or giving people other, more immediate issues.

It's also at least part of why people think you're a Nazi, because that's a rather authoritarian and fascist solution to any problem. It really is 'baw, muh genocide', because most people would find it objectionable. The fact you don't is why people suspect you're a Nazi.

First off, look at history and how conflicts are normally resolved and what happens when you remove strong centralized government from a region. The whole idea of something or someone being able to unify humanity will NEVER happen. Unless it's an external threat that will wipe out all of humanity, or something like a post scarcity society being created that also manages to do away with all the biases of modern society. The reason why is simple, human nature and the desire to be better than others. This of course is easily applied to politics, ethnicity, and every field of conflict that fuels war. If you leave people to their own devices, they will find a way to create conflict. Also if there is a vacuum of power, people will create power by invoking their own within the vacuum in order to dominate others.

The continued attempts to frame me as a Nazi just shows desperation on your part, you could chose any group in history but your preferred one is the what would gather the strongest reaction from a passer by. Personally, I see it more in line with Thomas Hobbs' social contract. It's like you don't see the benefit of having a strong authoritarian leadership to keep things from falling into chaos. Look at Yugosolvia and how the Soviets managed to keep all those ethnic and religious groups from going at each other. Moment the Warshaw Pact collapses, you have multiple wars and genocide break out for supremacy over the Balkans. Or the strongmen in the middle east and how toppling them have destabilized the region. Or attempts throughout history to completely wipe out rival races. You don't see any Carthaginians these days after what the Romans did to them. It's reality.

Because preferring one voice actor over another, means it's the definitive version to those clinging to straws. Ideally, Doug Stone should have read the movie version speech. You seriously don't think Andrew W.K. rendition is better, do you?

Also, I never knew I was a Trump supporter. To secure my support, he'd need to promise that he would be ban and deport all bugs posters in /m/ and build a wall and have /co/ pay for it.
