Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people call 'Attack on Titan' a simple revenge story?

I've seen that take pop up in at least five different YouTube video essays this month, but it ignores the whole political and philosophical conflict built over the last 10 years of the manga.

Nah, that take is way too simple. It's really about the cycle of violence and how people become the monsters they hate.

Totally get that! It reminds me of my uncle who used to complain about his boss being a tyrant. Then he got promoted and slowly started doing all the exact same things, like micromanaging everyone's breaks. It was wild to watch.
