Is this supposed to be a satire comparing corporate capitalism to WWII fascism, or is that just a happy accident?

Cause, wow, "modern Japanese culture can teach you how to be a fantaaaaaaastic nazi :smug:" is a loving hilarious thing to brag about if that's meant to be unironic.

There is overlap in the sense that Tanya would probably fit very well in the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front (even when trying desperately to get reassigned to Norway) but arguably Tanya would also fit extremely well in the Soviet Red Army as well; as long as there is a hierarchical meritocracy that values obedience and competency.

Yeah, that's what I'm referring to. Calling it "fascism" may be a bit of a stretch, I admit.

I do like that firing a guy who obviously sucks and is at least a little psychotic is what is used to illustrate what a horrible person nameless salaryman was prior to getting in a pissing match with Being X and getting sent to World War 1 Not-Germany.

:lol: I wanted to mention how they portrayed the meritocratic system in modern Japan as unjust, as well, but when I wrote it all out it was really hard to make that guy sound particularly sympathetic :pseudo:
