I like Jojo, but in the rare instances where it really offers political messaging it's basically libertarian bullshit (see the end of Stone Ocean episode 27, where Araki takes a strong stand against motorcycle helmet laws on existential grounds for some reason)

The main thing I like about Jojo is its derangement, so this doesn't bother me too much

Pretty much all of Steel Ball Run is a criticism of American imperialism, and Jojolands has a very gender non-conforming character and presents punching cops as a good thing. The politics of Jojo improved massively as the series went on

I mean, it's still wildly misogynist and likes its eroticized SV (which puts a real damper on the GNC character's introduction, to put it lightly), plus with the libertarian thing it's unclear to me if it's really a "punch cops" message from the left or because Big Government Bad.
