Could be post-war Japan, since the occupation after the conclusion of VJ day involves heavy US influence and occupation of their military, and that includes dictating laws and such to the government.
What makes sense to me is that if people are so betrayed by Yevon as a whole, there's reactionary rejection of almost everything relating to it, and that includes finding new identities to formulate around from and incurring revolutionary behavior. It's probably not going to have the same context, but I'm thinking of like socialist revolutions which overthrows one state power that circles around one ideology, and replacing it with one with an ideology that it's more "inclusive." It's like how more Youth League members have Al Bhed associates, but you can't really say the same thing with New Yevon being seen doing the same thing though they don't have the same antagonism especially once Al Bhed persecution became unpopular in the two-year interim alongside the rise of the Machine Faction.
Though of course, any sort of communist coalition postwar Japanese people might have get quashed by the government since the US puts pressure to stop such things from happening if they want to keep watching Vietnam and China and N. Korea.
