Nah, it will take time for this to sink in the population. Their racism and bigotry will still make them think they can tell others how to live, for many years to come. The media will also try to keep this mentality alive for as long as possible.
At this rate they'll just end up moving everyone in the state out. Who the fuck will want to stay there?
Don't be so sure about that. What's happening in the US right now is what I think will happen in Brazil as well. Bolsonaro will be back, just like Trump.
With Europe it must be some 60% that is fake. Probably more.
Sadly it's probably fake.
I think it's France realizing it's on a sinking ship and wants to jump to another boat.
Yeah it's orientalism, to give the impression that only the West knows precious value of a human life. Meanwhile the Asians are seen as just hordes of insects that can be obliterated by any means even nuclear. It's no coincidence the western masses are so bloodthirsty.
Yes, but the devs are clearly biased. The NCR which represents the US is portrayed in too much of a positive light. Their imperialism is presented in a distorted way and many times as something benign. The biggest downside of the NCR that we hear people complaining is "taxes", this gives me "taxation is theft" vibes. Meanwhile the Legion is just god awful, the more you find out about them, the worse they get. There's just not any competition between them. One is good the other is evil. The NCR is the West and the Legion is the East, which means West = Good and East = Bad.
This is just unnecessary fascist propaganda drilled into the game. The East is represented as a bunch of barbarians who are coming to destroy western civilization. The Legion even employs tactics of throwing bodies at the enemy without regards for their lives, which is something Russia has been accused of doing in the Ukrainian war. And of course, the Legion's system is so horrible, so atrocious, that no one could possibly want to live in it. This is how communism is portrayed to Western masses. A system so horrible, that anything is preferable to it. So the barbaric pedophilic eastern hordes represent communism, and the minor flawed republic represents liberal democracy. This is a disgusting level of bias.
As a side note, the Arcade companion quest is just a bunch of fascist apologia. The quest tries too hard, to humanize a bunch of psychopathic fascist ex-military. But hey, at least they're not the ~~Communists~~ Legion, am I right?
Excluding the independent ending, I think there's a case to be made for Mr. House. Not that I'm a fan of him, he's an embellished version of Elon Musk. But House represents the national bourgeoise while the Legion and NCR don't. House seems to be focused mainly on Vegas, while he has no love for Freeside, at least places like Goodsprings, Primm, Novac will be left alone. But it's hard to argue with so much bias in the game.
Not much since I've been away on vacation. I've been playing in the Lemmycraft server while listening to podcasts. Not really sure what to play next. I'm feeling some nostalgia for Fallout 3.
Lol, in capitalism if you don't meet your quota you just get fired.

It would be hilarious if they could disprove the myth of the invincibility, of the iron dome. Israel is banking hard on that. Many westoids think they could easily intercept the entirety of the Iranian missile arsenal.
