The politics in Lancer the mech pilot TTRPG seems center left to me. A good way to explain what's going on in that game's universe is with this overly long metaphor:

Imagine an alternate history where Nixon somehow beat JFK Jr to the white house, and once in office he lets Kissinger go nuts setting fascists up on an accelerated schedule. That's what Union's Second Committee was like. Then Tricky Dick procedes to nuke Vietnam a couple times. That's the Hercynia Crisis and that FTL Piston weapon launch. JFK and company ride the shock and horror of approaching nuclear war into office on the promise of de-escalation and enforcing civil rights, and they deliver. That's the coup that formed Union's Third Committee. Kissinger, Nixon, and the entire pentagon/raytheon corp take over NASA in Cape Canaveral, Florida where they form a tolerated corporatocracy in exile. That's basically Harrison Armory on the planet Ras Shamra. Now a United liberal-leftist front of America is actively trying to tear down dictatorships around the world that Kissinger set up (he got assassinated at some point in this time line) and replace them with socialist democracies. That is Union's Justice/Human-Rights Department and a few other government branches. So far they've had some success although people are pointing out that it's a bit hypocritical that the liberators are using weapons from corporate conservative states where civil rights are discretely curtailed. That's what's driving political discourse in 5016u in Union's legislative body, the Central Committee and it's myriad political parties.

So yeah Lancer's political intergalactic landscape is a bit like modern day? Except also cthulhu is giving out reality-breaking tech to militant civil rights advocates and random civilians? That's what HORUS basically is, btw.

Now that I've written this out, it would make for a good american alt-history with mechs campaign in Lancer...

On This Day In History

August 2nd, 1937: The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 is passed, rendering marijuana and marijuana by-products illegal in the USA.

The Act was largely pushed by businessmen looking to profit from competitors to marijuana products.

William Randolph Hearst, who owned several newspapers, was concerned that hemp paper could threaten his timber holdings.

Andrew Mellon (the Secretary of the Treasury and then the wealthiest man in the US) was heavily invested in nylon, which competed with hemp rope.

Marijuana (then spelled Marihuana in federal documents) was more commonly referred to as ganja or ganjah. 'Marihuana' was used to stigmatize the drug by associating it with Latinos(The word itself possibly comes from Mexico, but other etymologies suggest it could be from Chinese or East Africa. Nevertheless, it 'sounded' Mexican to most people).

LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer History—chapter 09. Sexual and Gender Diversity in Native America and the Pacific Islands by Will Roscoe. (final)

Two Spirits Today: Renewal and Change

The section starts and continues by discussing two-spirit activism and cultural renewal being fostered by two-spirits and lgbtq native people. One such event is the intertribal powwows such as the Bay Area American Indian Two Spirits Powow which in 2015, drew over 2,000 attendees (09-12). Attendees were asked to define two-spirit, the answers varied; “two spirit means being born with a male and a female spirit”, while another said that the term is “more of a historical reminder that before colonization all of our tribes had multiple genders” (09-12)

Two Spirits in the History of the United States

The author then tells us about four individuals who by our modern standards would be considered two-spirit, all of whom led incredibly fascinating lives. Most of them faced violence and prejudice in their lives. And this remains true for two-spirits today—the author mentions a young two-spirit Navajo named Fred Martinez Jr. who had been bullied and was murdered in a hate crime in 2001.

(Rest in Power, relative...)

Conclusion: History Matters

“Two-spirit/LGBTQ history not only challenges stereotypes and transforms prejudice, it provides the path to self-esteem, empowerment, and community for two-spirit-LGBTQ native people, while the stories of two-spirit males and females in American history teach us all about sexual and gender diversity and the ways in which these differences make distinctive cultural and historical contributions” (09-29)

like the british, french and spanish really fucked up our lives. my grandmother still recalls her days in the british concentration camps as a child and it is so hard to hear her talk about it. i have cried a lot because the trauma in my family so fresh and it's horrifying to see the evidence of our violation as a people and land everywhere.

but when i see, hear or read about what empires like canada and the u.s. have done and are doing to native americans and black americans (especially the women), i want to fucking throw up it. is beyond inhumane like those countries have always run on a fuel of these people's blood it's so fucking EVIL.

living as a neocolonial state will never compare to what native americans who are still being held hostage by their oppressors directly on their land are going through

like shit man at least i can roam freely on my land and have rights relative to how much money my family has, but these people are living human horrors i cannot comprehend. they are literally what would have happened to us if the colonizers never left and it's so traumatizing to read about and see.

"Winner printed the document – labeled 'TOP SECRET' – that explained how...

"Russian military intelligence officials hacked at least one supplier of voting software and tried to break into more than 100 local election systems before the polls closed in 2016."

Reality Winner did years in prison not for slander or lying, nope, we see that liars get to stay in congress and have news channels, in the USA lying is never a crime unless you're under oath...slander or libel is a tort (i.e. grounds for a lawsuit) but never a jailable offense.

Reality Winner was imprisoned for years because she told the truth, that Trump and Russia hacked election machines and forged the vote total for the 2016 election, it wasn't just some bad facebook memes via cambridge analytica, they literally stole the votes needed, Trump was asking for that help again in 2020 but did not receive it

Again, for the record, Dubya stole his election via a stacked supreme court. Trump also stole his election via his friends in the KGB.
