That does Lucas dirty, he's easily the most explicitly anticapitalist of the bunch, what with capital encroaching upon his agrarian communist town and destroying everyone's lives through mass media, privatization, and commodification

Also his mom was killed by the military industrial complex

The entire game is him fighting back against these forces

Standard microdistrict: 20,000 citizens in 10 - 60 hectares

Let's use the middle: 30 hectares.

1,000,000,000/20,000*30 = 1,500,000 hectares

According to WolframAlpha, 1,500,000 hectares converts to 5,792 sq mi.

In a room sit three great individuals, Princess Peach, Priest Toad, and Wario with his gold. Between them stands Mario, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says Princess Peach, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says Priest Toad, ‘for I command you in the name of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says Wario, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me – who lives and who dies?

I agree that Wario is a capital parasite, but labeling him a libertarian? The debate never came to a real conclusion on that point and the thread got locked.

all your gimmicks belong to me

When I was 12 and so hadn't gone through puberty, I (a cis woman) cut my hair really short on a whim, and that same day two people in a row called me "young man" and I burst into tears and ran away and hid while my parents awkwardly explained what had happened. I started wearing dangly clip-on earrings the next day. I was never a very girly girl, never wore skirts, but it's impossible to explain just how unsettling and awful it was for strangers to look at me and see a boy instead of a girl, and I felt like I NEEDED those earrings - not because I liked earrings but because I WAS NOT A BOY and it was incredibly important to me that people understand that at a glance. Obviously this is a super minor experience compared to what trans people go through but it's something I frequently use as an example when talking to other cis people, and it's definitely made a few people think about things differently.

Wario respects no laws

I'm pretty sure every mainstream wario game starts with him being robbed of his vast wealth, usually by ghosts or wizards, and traveling to foreign lands, assaulting the natives and plundering their wealth. Wario is the most chaotic concept of capitalism and imperialism personified

since when has capitalism found plundering and assaulting people in the global periphery to be unlawful?
