Liberals can only comfortably recognise the inner workings of class society only when it is not their own class society.
How are the isekai and fantasy writers going to do court intrigue and race wars set in modern times without setting off some real spicy conversations or drama?
Like just look at attack on titan. Shit turned into fascism real quick and it wasn't even set that close to our time.
Can you imagine if someone wrote a story about a race/nations war in modern America then gave different races/nations different genetic super powers? And the plot line of the story was for the protagonist to re-instate the legitimately elected president who got couped by a nefarious bastard?
I mean, if you did such a story right, it would be hella interesting, but that is not the kind of story any but courageous and experienced writers could manage.
And before you say something about replacing race war with class war, liberals conceive of history as being the history of races and nations. Switching to a modern setting will just make most liberals start writing mien kampf.
