Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

When i was young and i saw in One Piece that they burned the area that the homeless people were living just to make the place better due to a high noble visit, i thought this only happens in television. Now i know.
The Olympics have this every time. Summits for the elite too if it's needed. What's a bit new here is how shamelessly it's advertised.
They temporarily move the homeless out and move more prostitutes in for those summits.
That’s just the invisible dick of the market.
Olympics, superbowls... name anything that will 'bring money into the local economy' and suddenly everyone wants to fuck over the already fucked over.
It's been happening in the real world for a long time.
There's all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.
The One Piece take on powerful people has turned out to be scarily prescient.
Even mildly inconvenience a member of "the big club that you ain't in" and all the world's resources will be brought to bear against you.
Powerful people being self-centred and out of touch is a tale as old as time. I'm sure Oda saw plenty of examples growing up.
god, i want to get into one piece, but the 1000+ episodes are intimidating
Look up One Pace, they cut most of the filler out so that it turns 1k+ into like 600. Highly highly recommend, One Piece is the most rewarding piece of media for sticking with it that I've ever watched.
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
it's a big ask for anyone so I'd recommend, if they're open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I'd make the argument that's the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.
If it is, I'd encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it's mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it's over 20 years syndication), the animation isn't quite consistent.
I have more to say but wouldn't want to overwhelm you but essentially it's small steps and you'll see what the fuss is about, especially since we're nearing the endgame.
Depending on how fast you can read, you could watch it at 3x to 4x speed and get done in under 4 months. I did it watching 20 episodes at night. I just read fast.
Watch the Netflix live action.
I wish we lived in the world of one piece, because at least there are people/pirates fighting to help the weak and innocent against their corrupt governments.
