Is Attack on Titan fash?

All Isayama had to do was fulfill the narrative promises made in earlier chapters and have him genocide the entire world and kill or permanently estrange all of his friends, and then destroy titan powers. He comes home and retires but is consumed by guilt and retires. Despite 'winning' all his friends are dead, including ones who would be on his side like Floch, except for Historia who not to be a shipper, (if we're talking pure shipping Ymir x Historia was the only couple with any chemistry ever in the entire series), was obviously meant to have a child with him. His hollow victory means he becomes an absent father and he despises himself like Reiner did. Over the years he comes to realise that the entire situation could have been resolved through diplomacy and that his friends were right. Historia dies of natural causes and it looks like a civil war is going to break out betwen the fascist survey corps and his fascist daughter who thinks Eren used to be a great man but got weak, and they are threatening each other with Nuclear bombs like TNO basically, because eradicating titans did not eradicate weapons of mass destruction. Resigned, he sits back and waits for them to kill each other. He had completely won but it meant nothing in the long run. But when he opens his eyes the bombs haven't been dropped. They'd sorted things out peacefully without genocide. The ending is positive and the future is bright, with people co-operating and building nuclear energy instead of weapons. The story's narrative is completed satisfyingly with Eren realizing he was wrong and finally smiling as a better world is built.
