I mean, I can see the common Eldians (both those left in Marley and on the island) are victims. But how is that a far right thing? Isn't it a component of populist movements of the right and left?

Does it have one? I mean, yes, the MC and all his friends are military, and we're dealing with a war, even if we didn't quite know that till now, but aside from that... At first, most of the military was either useless or corrupt. And those who weren't had atrocious fatality rates, and they died ugly. Also, not a lot of military pageantry. They all have one uniform except for the patches, no rank insignia, and the uniform code is a bit loose on the details. Plus, I think there's only 4 ranks. Commander in chief, corps commander, squad leader, grunt.
