I’m not going to go on a quest for iskeai Reaganomics and general nationalistic and racist themes, but I’m sure you won’t have a hard time with some self study on that front.
I was making a general statement about when anime has a political theme, not on that particular anime. Though I guess you could find a utopian vision in a nation that views all to be equally worthless and champions genocide and calling the dark young of shub niggurath to stomp on people.
They are somewhat nuanced and ideologically motivated bad guys, I’ll give you that. And it does make the anime interesting, especially compared to your standard isekai/VRMMO anime
Anime has a disgustingly right wing bent, which should be expected from a country that’s been run by the right since 1955 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_System.

It’s almost like the main cast is supposed to be the bad guys

I actually wasn’t picking on overlord specifically, more like political and economic statements in anime tend to be right wing liberal stuff.
Question for tankies: China or Japan?
