      on one hand reddit hands them out like candy because they seemingly don’t have a threshold so every account that ever did one post in a subreddit is counted in perpetuity, on the other hand imagine ever posting in /r/criticaldrinker

    The peasants say theyre starving, but we have plenty of cake here in the palace. Why do they not simply eat cake?

    John Cleese made a movie in the 90s, set in a ‘racially harmonious’ uk, even in their ideal world, there’s plenty of behind the scenes violence and crime.

    This is the 2nd game, so it’s after the first depicted a concentration camp using slave labor to mix concrete. Also NYC is a smoking nuclear crater, New Orleans is a warzone with evil cyborg dogs, and London had a big creepy robot tentacle monster doing a panopticon on everyone.

    Also this scene is funny as hell because it has American reactionaries trying to fit in with the Nazis only for them to look like idiots who’ll probably also get sent to camps. There are the KKK guys who get berated for having shitty Germans. Then there’s the woman flirting with the SS guy who tries mocking Austrians to get on his good side. He also berates her saying his mother and Hitler are Austrians.

      Hell, out of ALL Media, fucking SOUTH PARK calls them out for this. Yeah, the creators are CHUDs and I am by no means defending them, but even they have limits. Hence why Eric Cartman is (at least supposed to be) a walking stereotype of smug, white, middle-class Amerikkkans. Republican Brian Griffin if you will.

      Cartman: “I’m making a better world!”

      Some rando: “For YOU, you’re making a better world for YOU!”

      Cartman: “Right, and that’s what superheroes do!”

      God, can “Cartman” just be an insult for westerners already?

    Imaginary propaganda depicted in game

    Westerners fall for the propaganda willingly.

    Interesting, now let’s compare a real life city in the People’s Republic of China, shall we?
