i wonder if even 0.1% of the people who play this game understand the message they are trying to get across

Its not even a 40k situation where the imperium is only to blame for 99% of the problems they face, everything bad that happens in helldivers is because of Super Earth. The bugs are bred and modified to produce ~~oil~~ e-710, the borgs/automatons just wanted to establish space communism, and even the illuminates which is arguably the most evil enemy faction only become that way because they lost billions of lives after Super Earth genocided them for "WMDs"

And their WMD's was literally just futuristic space technology they used for travel. Super Earth wanted to make them into WMD and the Illuminate were like "uh no thank you"

how would you know? are you having debates on vc?

My screen name is an obvious ML reference, so anyone who shit talks gets executed and kicked. Met a suprising number of comrades, and most people with voice chat seem to be in on the joke. Still probably libs at best, but very very few outright fascists.
