analyzing the major through a liberal lens is crazy because he’s basically the final boss of negative liberty. if the individual is truly sovereign then that includes the right to self-destruct and burn the world down just as a pure act of will. like his refusal to actually "win" in favor of the process of war itself just proves he prioritizes individual choice over any kind of collective logic or state order
you can basically see him as this radical defender of subjectivity who views objective reality and its laws as the ultimate form of tyranny. if classic liberalism is about the right to life then the major takes it to the absolute limit by claiming the right to death and destruction as the highest expression of a will that isn’t bound by god the state or nature itself
even him replacing his heart with a machine is just the ego winning over human frailty and turning himself into a fully autonomous construct that exists only for its own idea. his obsession with alucard is really just an existential beef with the whole concept of predestination and higher powers. to him even a literal monster is just another form of oppression to be overcome by human resolve. basically his character is a reminder that the ideal of self-determination when stripped of anything constructive just turns into absolute egocentrism
