Murica, land of the free, was founded by people who owned slaves. While speaking about the evils of slavery.

So the madness was always there.

It was right around the time he got shot and made that fake fist pump. Also when he started considering that scum bag - obama a friend.

We live in a country that was stolen then we stole some other people so they could do the work for us. Then conquering half a continent wasn’t good enough for us, so we went around ruining other places if they didn’t want to give us all their stuff. If people think we only recently crossed a line, I’d generously hope they were just ignorant because the alternative is horrific. Every piece of the past is a step that got us to where we are.

The US is just Helldivers 2 in real life. A democracy managed by Elon Musk and people ready to die for „liberty“, „prosperity“ and „freedom“.

Don't make me feel bad about my beloved Helldivers!

Sorry to say most people don't get it or starship troopers.

Don’t feel bad. It’s not the devs fault that we live in a strange timeline

You do understand that Helldivers is a satire of America? This didn't change in 2024. The Helldivers yell about freedom and democracy while having zero meaningful freedom or political influence, and invading other places to steal their oil or murder them for being communists because that is what Americans do.
