Because government is bad, dumbass.

Realistically, it's a folly of large organizations. It's been like that since the dawn of civilization.

However in the Gundam series the Feds have generally been the good guys, it's just that every entry after MSG was spent retconning that fact.

I hate how accurate this feels.

>>15000698
The idea of one world government is bad.

Federations and large countries in general are bad.

>>15000698
well is realistic, like star wars the original trilogy fail to portray the rebels realistically, at least the prequels portray the Republic and the CIS both as assholes and realistically

>>15000698
To get their anti- US/Allies boner ejaculate somewhere.

Watch Victory then, it has the best portrayals of the Earth Federation.

Old and dying but still gave one giant fuck you to the enemy

>>15000698
Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain

>>15000725
They started out with good intention and did good, but grew more corrupt and evil as time went. This would be expected of a large organization like the Federation or any irl government.

>>15000786
This as well

Because the other faction is an allegory of WWII Imperial Japan.

A New World Order isn't the best idea for a government.

Because Tomino wanted a universe with moral ambiguity.

Zeon Deikun was not a bad person. Hell, even Bright admits that he could support Zeon's vision of colonial independence.

The villain of Gundam is one man, Gihren Zabi. He eliminates all of his political peers... Deikun, Jimba Ral, and even his own brother Sasro. Just to put himself in power and rule over everything. He's a megalomaniac.

The Federation isn't "good". They're at best ineffectual and bureaucratic, and pretty quick to resort to violence to maintain order in the colonies. Their military starts out bloated and outdated, and their leadership is corrupt and resistant to change.

>Zeon isn't a villain

>disregarding writings attributed to him, the very first time he's seen in the only work that properly features him as a character he's rambling about being unable to properly vocalize his desire to declare war on the Federation and how 'sinners who incur the wrath of Gaia will be bathed in hellfire'

I don't think simple exhaustion is an adequate excuse for such an outburst, either.

Because either
a).moral ambiguity on both sides can sometimes be more interesting than simple good vs. bad

b).If a story ends up being Zeon focused then you have to make the Federation look bad somehow since, for some reason, some writers seem to not be able to do "good people on the bad side" so they have to make Zeon better or the Feds worse to compensate.

> he's rambling about being unable to properly vocalize his desire to declare war

And WHY is he unable to vocalize it?

Because like Degwin, he knows that it is a war that Zeon cannot win.

THE DIFFERENCE, between Deikun and Gihren, is that Gihren is willing to sacrifice all the people in the other sides in order to win.

Deikun hates Earth, but he isn't willing to put billions of people in other colonies to death to beat Earth. Which is the only way Zeon stands a chance of winning.

Gihren is willing to do that.
