    How many people even think on it? Also, somehow I think there’d be less of a problem from “critics” if humans went to outer space and were a monarchy

    I think I’ve seen Halo and Mass Effect and Warhammer fics that involve combining that with “Humanity Fuck Yeah!!!” Speaking of Mass Effect, does this mean Verhoeben would think the Turians or even the Krogans to be fascists?

    Any chance he hates Rock&Roll and American Action Movies being popular? Sounds like some “refined” upper class douchebag I guess he also wanted no one to actually fight or be in conflict with the Soviets and let them steamroll everybody else

    There’s an addiction to power, even if it’s never used to feel powerful Plus, governments, even good ones, can have a sort of feeling or obsession with “responsibility”

    Aren’t you required to work in a Communist society? Even a government job?

    Did they follow it up with “ethnic cleansing” and some inane “5 year plan” or something? Question, does “Nationalism or Fascism” as they are conflated really depend on there being “another country”? My occasional lurks on SB and even your Eagle & The Bear thread over there kinda showed that...

    Plus, the public lashing wasn’t too bad a punishment....though the fact the squad leader rather than the one who accidentally shot someone else took it, isn’t exactly such a nice idea Also, they were the entire of majority of the human race, I think even that colony with a fence for the Bugs...

    Try telling that to dudes like Zor on SB, I remember a thread on it and it seemed full of guys who didn’t read or find it so boring they didn’t like it and that the Earth Government wouldn’t work or wasn’t necessary to exist

    Haven’t read the book, but I presume like what I recall of the movies, it turns out the bugs really are just xenophobes disgusted with humanity’s very existence It NOT simply just being a case of different morality, accidents or the conflict being “gray” could be sort of taken as something IRL...

    I recall that the guy who made the movie only got a brief summary of the book, may not have totally listened and decided to make a movie version that involved making the MC white and blonde to somehow make it fascist Wanting to wipe out the bugs=Racist, because they may as well be “The Other”
