While I'm here I might as well ask for your recommendations of anime with protagonists 13 or younger or 19 or older.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

A lot of classic 70’s/80’s Japanese sci-fi was written by survivors of Ww2 who became leftists, for example the original Gundam but more broadly stuff like Space Battleship Yamato and Legend of Galactic Heroes falls into this category.
I’d say Hexbears are more fans of these types of shows due to the politics, because more modern mecha (again using the Gundam franchise as an example), a show like Gundam Seed is kinda empty calories meaningless action spectacles at best, or has abhorrent politics at worst.
Although Gundam: Witch from Mercury (which was a more recent show) had a lesbian main character coupled with anti-capitalist themes, so that show in particular did land pretty well in this crowd and made a lot of new Gundam fans
Exactly, exactly.
