Just feels very iffy… Seems to imply the Wapiti should just surrender, lay down their arms and let themselves be genocided. The writers seem to think the Wapiti should just let themselves face attack after attack and not do anything. Also, very weird that they try to portray US soldiers as victims. Arthur picks up the ID of a soldier and said something alongside the lines of “he’s just a kid!”. Imagine this kind of shit in a WWII game. Oh no, we just killed this poor, poor, poor boy from Hamburg! He liked puppies and flowers!
I think about that plotline a lot.
I think our inclination is to side with violent resistance to the settler state, but ultimately the stance that the game takes is the one that was vindicated by history.
Armed resistance would not have solved the problem. It would be impossible to overcome the settler state. The route of just trying to survive and outlast the state is what we see happening today. I don’t think the game says this is a good thing, just inevitable.
Yeah I don’t think the father or son (I can’t remember which is which) are wrong, the father has lost so much and just wants his son and people to survive, and the son has seen his people brought low and is full of rage. It’s a sad story that dutch manipulates.
Yes. Rain Falls has seen all hus other sons die fighting the government. He wants his last son to stay alive - not because he thinks its wrong to fight the gov and not because he thinks not fighting is right, he just wants a live son a not a dead one.
Its been a while but i remember a moment where Rain Falls is pterty explicit that its not about him thinking not fighting is good, he just feels iys become futile and he wants his last remaining son to stay alive
