All FPS games are military propaganda.
Not at all surprising, it’s just like chuds liking starship troopers. The game should force you to read sections of Das Kapital during loading screens.
80s style copy protection. you have to look up page 231 of das kapital and type in what it says, etc
there is no satire or caricature blunt enough to penetrate the chud brain pan
another L for satire, it doesnt work folks
Doesn’t this game make fun of the freedom and democracy rhetoric. I think gamers are incapable of comprehending satire. Maybe the game just ends up normalising war crimes.
Yes it’s very corny and over the top, moreso than even Starship Troopers which it gets compared to a lot. The military embracing it anyway reminds me of something Zizek said about the new fascism embracing irony.
Helldivers is what I call my US Army, cuz they’re all gonna dive head first into hell for the crimes they’ve committed
One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma’s coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…
Disco Elysium’s writer wrote that in the devil’s kitchen. Nothin’ but hot fire.
Even de itself has been reclaimed
It hits even harder coming from the literal personification of “liberal democracy is the worst system we have, except for all the others” since she so solidly lays out the entire history of the world and lays out just how fucked up everything is, but then turns around and says that we can’t do anything to change it and anyone who tries is an idiot, despite her literally being
disco Elysium spoilers, brief mention of SA event in the story
A board member of the company that’s sent in a paramilitary group of drugged up mass murdering rapist super soldiers to strikebreak the local dockworkers union, and if you ask her to try and deescalate things she literally just refuses because it would hurt Wild Pines’s bottom line and then sails away to avoid being caught in the crossfire when things go down
She’s such an amazing character because she’s just so completely mask off (but not even like some hard-line Zionist dem screeching for the blood of Palestinians or something; she’ll just pleasantly tell you how horrific things are but then just be like and that’s just the way things have to be) but she’s so friendly about it at the same time, she’s the best example of the constant contradictory themes in the game imo.
Fascists do understand parody, contrary to kneejerk reactions. They simply agree with the parody, such that what would seem ridiculous to the average person becomes “based” to the fash.
