How do the members of the Meta Liberation Army feel about quirkless people?

[OP1000]

Hello!!!!
Can anyone on this site who is a fan of My Hero Academia tell me how the those within the Meta Liberation Army would act towards those who are quirkless? I have been wondering how they would treat the quirkless people who would they may encounter after reading the fanfic known as "I Don't Run An Orphanage" and do you guys agree with how the author of that fanfic writes the way the members of the Meta Liberation Army view quirkless people or would you say there may be a slight difference in the way that the members of the Meta Liberation Army would treat quirkless people?If you would like more context and do not mind not reading the fanfic that I am talking about to its end, feel free to read the spoiler tag down below.

So when I was reading the fanfic known as "I Don't Run An Orphanage", the members of the Meta Liberation Army that we were shown (Re-Destro and some OC characters that were written as members of the Meta Liberation Army) heavily look down on Izuku Midoriya just because he is quirkless and they also hate the fact that he is raising children with powerful quirks, seeing it as a great disservice to the children who are under his care.

I’m not into MHA that much (I’ll read some fics of it tho) but from my understanding the MHLA’s core tenets are: the more powerful your meta ability the more societal and political freedoms you have. Those with powerful quirks would likely have laws be not enforced as often where as someone without a quirk would be under extreme scrutiny.

So someone that has a quirk which only gives them sheep horns should do whatever someone who can nuke a city block by sneezing says. By that logic it should apply to quirkless people but to a worse degree. That is from a slightly combative point of view but it seems to hold true from what I’ve heard.

The quirkless people would form a perminent underclass, kind of like black people in the United States. Some would still be able to rise above their situation, but most wouldn't.

Classism but with a different name.

Quirkism?

It is like racist/ sexist/ specist but to the handicap.

Well, at least quirkism makes more sense than racism. Of course someone who can nuke the world has more power than a normal human with fish gills.

MLA in the manga (haven't watched the anime as far) is an example of the "Revolutionaries are Hypocrites" trope. Basically, it's a stereotype about people who seek to change the social order that really, those people are just self-serving; instead of creating a better social order like they claim, they'll probably just replace it with another power structure that oppresses people below them.

In the manga, MLA is portrayed like this a lot -- supposedly they want to liberate individuals with difficult quirks, but then their leaders are shown to not care about individual members, believe in supremacy of more powerful quirks, etc.

So the fic is probably accurate, but MLA is also a pretty typical / cliched caricature of a "revolutionary movement" -- but that problem is on Horikoshi.

Definitely not like black people in the states. Your view on how black Americans are treated seems quite outdated.

Definitely not like black people in the states. Perhaps it would be similar to black people in the south during the early to mid 20th century or the jewish people in Nazi Germany before the murderous policies. Your view on how black Americans are treated seems quite outdated.

I'm not talking about their treatment, just the fact that they are an underclass. They get a lot of preferential treatment, but statistically their situation hasn't changed much.

Underclass is not a term to use in that context and it doesn’t really fit for describing black americans either. The comparison between the two doesn’t make very much sense either because quirkless people would be born from any random person.
