so in the first season of Fantasy High we learn from Gorthalax that Solace was originally a Halfling country that was colonised conquered by humans and turned into a country for all races. putting aside the "allegory" of the highly conservative, racist, bigoted cult of harvestmen who have members all over the country, that consider themselves the "true" followers of one of the human gods in a country they conquered, and now hate for its diversity despite being the descendants of the original invaders - Bud Cubby and his family are halflings. Bud Cubby, who is employed by the government as a postal service worker, whose entire family are openly Anarcho-Socialists who merely present themselves as law abiding citizens, and who immediately has a molotov cocktail available to help break some teenagers out of a jail cell because he considers the police to be an occupying force.
Bud Cubby isn't just a badass postal worker who says acab: he's a member of a colonised race that is commonly thought of as sneaky and untrustworthy and treated as second class citizens, who poses as "one of the good ones" to avoid detection and presumably government surveillance, who's actively fighting against the active oppression that is being a descendant of a people that were violently conquered, who wants to take down the government, and who doesn't just say acab but lives by it. and idk I just think that's really interesting and cool to ruminate on
