Why are y'all in the comments trying to act like one or another universalist position has to fit like a sock to all situations? There are debates where one side is blatantly wrong and the other is blatantly correct, debates where one side is wrong and the other has some points right, debates where both sides have some points right, debates where both sides would do well to return to school and debates where no side can be objetively correct because they're discussing something intrinsically subjective. The "enlightened centrist" meme is useful to mock the stupid position that "the truth is always in the middle", but if you think you're always going to find someone in any debate who has the right answer, you're going to find yourself siding with stupid shit all the time.

The anime is Madoka Magika. I recommend watching up to the 3rd/4th chapter without spoilers, then decide if you want to continue watching it.

The joke (spoilers)

The studio advertised it as a generic slice of life magical girl show, and when it was leaked that its writer was Gen Urobuchi, who was known for his horror stories, they tried to do "damage control" by claiming that he was trying to get into new genres and styles. The show does indeed turn pretty dark fairly soon, and you should definitely not watch it if you need something mild. In any case, it's top stuff and I recommend it.

These discussions on communism vs capitalism that devolve into comparing the US with the USSR are like discussing feudalism vs liberalism in 1825, when the only perceptible legacies of the French Revolution were the Reign of Terror and Napoleon's degeneration into monarchy.

If you're sensibly anticapitalist, for the love of Marx do not argue in favor of states that rejected all pretension of wanting to let the economy be democratically managed, ultimately turning into party-controlled hierarchies rather than socialism. If you're a liberal in 1825 and rather than arguing in favor of ending serfdom and enfranchising everyone you keep going on about how Robespierre wasn't really that bad, you're politically useless.

Roommates aren't exactly people you can painlessly choose not to communicate with. This isn't about other people personally choosing to using an app on their daily life, this is them pushing OP to install spyware on their phone.
