Not sure if we can consider it non-political but Firefly/Serenity is all about not bowing down to government and that the government will use propaganda and force to keep control. Simon is the one character that is being overlooked, he gave up everything to save his sister from the government but still thinks the rebels as uncultured savages and his arc is learning to appreciate freedom.
There was always an amusing irony with how popular the show was with millennials, and yet many of those same millennials would probably recoil at any suggestion that anyone who served under the Confederates in the civil war could be anything less than pure evil.
He refuses to accept the idea that even one of the lowliest privates could have had motivations for fighting other than preserving slavery
Which is funny, because its literally on every record that the leader of the Confederacy, Robert E. Lee, only joined for loyalty and love of his land instead of any true care about slavery. A man who could have had everything in life, signed it away for his passion.
You'd think the kind of Leftist who parrot these kind of points would understand the idea of "I fucking hate my government and what they support does not represent me, but I also hate these other groups even more."
The whole holy war against slavery thing came back into the mainstream. It's so silly how a war between two slave holding republics is about ending slavery. It is really sad if you give any deference to the South at all, you get accused of being a "Lost Causer" and are villified
and would absolutely join a State military to fight for it if the issue were on the table
And You can guarantee some dipshit on future YouTube would be claiming the war was about whatever is considered the most extreme "far-right" opinion of the public today, and not any opinions you actually hold. It wouldn't even be something considered extreme today. Like two future guys will be arguing 'The red states were fucking racist against Undocumented Citizens! They even called them Illegals!' - 'Nuh uh - the war was about states rights!' - 'Yeah, states rights to do what? Block innocent Undocumented Citizens from voting!'
