What episodes are you at? The end of ZZ is why Char is counterattacking, more context. Amuro stuff you got from zeta, first instincts is to laze around under a fascist regime rather than to fight it.

At first glance, only Monster makes sense. It is basically what if Charles Manson was a soviet thing with European characteristics. Although, it been awhile since I watch and read it.
Gundam makes sense if you're pro federation/cop and take in face value in the movie(not in the pic) Amuro when he talks shit about revolutionaries doing nothing, but literally on the thing that can change the tractory of history and stops it.
Double zeta gundam does 200% more in like 1 or 2 episodes in North Africa than what the entire run of 08th MS team does with its setting. 08th MS has a pseudo vietnam setting and still doesn't do any meaningful political commentary with it and instead has dog water romance with good fights plus the typcial lore ruining and revisionism that UC gundam ovas usual do. Might as well just saw gundam thunderbolt.
Ah. The early episodes, around 10-15 can be seen as a over correction for zeta not spending time on one location and on a 'crew/team' of the cast. On the third space colony setting it gets better for most people. Maybe after 15 episodes.
