haha oh no im definitely not at all disturbed by the prevalence of leftists on all platforms who are loudly 'anti-genocide' when it comes to the palestinian cause (and a couple others at best :3c) yet the only time ukraine [ʊkrɐˈjinɐ] leaves their mouths is in critique, in stark comparison to the former or in complaint about their (american) government sending aid.

at first what i saw often was pointing out the differences in western media framing [ukraine vs palestine], and that's fair (until the words and the agenda of western journalists are used to paint, as a whole, ukrainians who have been actively going through genocide as some kind of white supremacists hogging the blanket of global attention when they kinda just want to live and have the rights to their own land, culture, names and families)

but no one is even caring to do that anymore, today bitches just invent metaphorical scenarios and people to get mad at and to throw an entire ethnos away because wahhhh i decided that you care for X but not for Y!!!.... all while doing the exact thing they are condemning. the exact absolute same and they don't even hide it but do lack the self-awareness to realise

#'ohh i saw white people still go out to rally for ukraine' yeah have you considered they are ukrainian or have ukrainian loved ones or uh #simply have humanity in their heart to care about several humanitarian tragedies in the world? #this is both aimed at a post i saw on here and at SEVERAL. MANY. twitterians with a thousand palestine flags all over their accounts spewing #misinformation hate and sometimes straight up russian propaganda tactics because they're this fucking insane #i don't care about sounding nice anymore by the way. i know my heart lies in the right place and i have the capacity to care about more than #one ongoing genocide of indigenous peoples #removed incidents of bad actors having a ukrainian flag on their backpack doing hateful shit does not somehow okay dismissing a genocide you #so vehemently claim to oppose. they are not ukrainians who are getting bombed on the daily for years #i saw a very lovely 🍉🕊️ lady denying holodomor and using literal russian talking points while patting herself on the back for being such #a good person. i saw one of the most popular leftie accs on twitter be actively anti-ukraine and using slurs. luckily we mass reported them #and they're gone #i'm no longer being careful with my words because i don't want to be misconstrued. i know my values go beyond twitter and tumblr #if i catch you in any way undermining the genocide of ukrainians or only bringing it up to point fingers and bitch i am blocking you forever #don't care how far this post might go cuz of ppls questionable use of the search function. and i didn't care to censor anything #like. masks off. just block me if this is your rhetoric

I'm recently trying to catch on to your analysis posts. They're truly great! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. I remember you once (or maybe even more than once) went specifically into details about the reason why didn't become a diplomatic ambassador post-war aside from the reason he was no longer capable of fighting like before, where some ppl did expect him to at least monitor the 104th + Reiner + Pieck as an adult leader of peace. Do you see any fault in this? Like some kind of disregard on Levi's part towards what would the world become or how far the peace would go from then on? Of course, this is absolutely not what I believe. He deserves peace and a normal life after everything he went through, but I've sure seen some part of the fandom being disappointed that he was no longer participating in the group as a representative and that's why they ended up saying "he only fought in the battle of heaven and earth to rid the world of titans for the promise he'd made to his fallen comrades, ot anything else." Or shit like "he never dedicated his heart to humanity". I feel even disgusted by repeating their words bcz these ppl are either just too blind or narrow-minded to understand Levi. Anyways, this turned into a long ask, but please know that I'm only asking cuz I'm really interested in what you think about it all. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long ass ask!

Hi there, and thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you continue to enjoy my analysis. I know they can get a bit long winded, shall we say, haha.

Anyway, yes, I've answered this question before. It's absurd to criticize Levi for this. What do people expect from him exactly? He literally lost EVERYTHING fighting for humanity, including his body. He lost all of his friends, everyone he ever truly loved and was close to, and by the end, I don't know if these people need to be reminded, but the last panel we see of Levi, he's in a wheelchair. He broke his whole body , fighting for humanity. To ask anything more of him, or to criticize him and somehow accuse him of not caring, or having never cared about humanity because he decided to finally retire after giving everything to the Survey Corps' dream strikes me as both sickeningly cruel, almost sociopathic in its cruelty, and also supremely ignorant. That’s like telling a soldier who comes back crippled from fighting in a war that they didn’t do enough, and they now need to join a diplomatic council and try to work out peace with the nation he was just fighting against.  Absurd and disgusting.  What these people don't understand is that Levi fought to free humanity, to create a better world for the next generation, meaning Armin, Mikasa, Connie, Jean, all of them, and that's exactly what he did. He gave everything he had to give them that fresh start, and what they did with it from there on was their choice, was up to them. He no longer had a part to play in that going forward. It was their world now, and Levi earned his rest a thousand times over.

What's more, just from the standpoint of accessing what Levi might bring to the table in a negotiation or peace talks, compared to Armin, there's really not much else Levi could have done. Levi is famously bad at expressing himself in words, while Armin has a mind like a steel trap when it comes to knowing how to talk to people and negotiate with them. That's literally the role he was always cast in from the beginning. The negotiator. Saying the 104th needed Levi at that point to act as the "adult" in the room is absurd, and is nothing but another attempt on the haters part to tear him down. These people are deluded and pathetic. The 104th were all adults by that time. 19 when the war ended, 22 by the end of the story, all of them extremely experienced. They were all more than capable of taking care of business themselves.

Levi isn't a negotiator. He always saw himself and was treated within the military like a weapon. A tool to be used to fight the enemy, whoever or whatever that might be, towards the noble goal of a better world, able and willing to do the dirty work required to create peace and freedom. Levi was built for fighting, not for talking. Once the fighting was over, he'd served his purpose, and that was that.
