It's bizarre to see people role-playing enthusiastic fascism with the world the way it is right now.
The fascism in the game is ironic and on the nose in a way that's easy to laugh at, like "what if?"
I'm aware. This isn't the game, though. It's not even in a sub about the game.
The headline, which very likely isn't even real, is also not inherently fascistic. If anything its more a statement on people being so stressed with life, that a fantastical idea of going off to live a sci-fi movie life is appealing.
You're pulling the fascism from the movie, which is inherently satirical. It makes sense something like that, which was already popular, continues to be so when the satire has more real world connections. You're on a platform with a ton of nerds, they're gonna reference sci-fi classics. If anything I'd say that's a healthy sign. Satire is arguably one of the strongest forces pushing back against fascism and the like on a cultural level.
