This hits nice and hard as I read through Settlers for the first time.
It’s like this shit never ever changes in the USA, just a little shift in the flavor of the bloodlust.

I saw it mentioned in a comment here and since people here have an unusually good taste in media, I checked it out.
Great great great series. I was super impressed by the whole thing, the themes, the characters are realistic and down to earth, and my god was it topical in so many different ways.
Roger Waters is cool (do not tell me all the horrific things he did as a rock star in the 70s please)
We may find the divine right of kings to be annoyingly, confoundingly irrational, but it doesn’t change that it exists, it’s the way the world works, and we’re not changing that.
Meritocracy in the current US workforce is absolutely fake, what lmao. What is this shit.
Extremely tempted to retry UO like 20 years after the last time I played it due to these posts.
Referencing Stalin and Mao like the another poster did, the right way is put the officers and known participants on trial, the rank and file people get reeducation or long imprisonment if they are true believers in the genocide machine. Don’t make martyrs all the time.
Oh yea they were fun to picture in my head. And yea the intergalactic genocidal shit posts were really something to enjoy reading in 2024.
Recently read A Fire Upon the Deep were half the story takes place on a planet with dog like group mind beings whose names are the combination of every member and if members die and they get a new member the name changes to include the new member, but they also use nicknames for the group beings whenever they feel like it. This person would have a great time with that book. Also book was eh but fun.
Ok DeathToBritain.
I’m surprised the fascist genocidal settler state is so right wing!
