But they already do prison labor here. So much thst it supports like every states economy

I remember being worried while playing that the story would go in that direction. But there’s a scene where Rain Falls explicitly says that he doesn’t want his son to fight, not because he thinks its wrong, but that its futile and he wants his son to live. All of his other sons have died fighting and he’s decided that even though fighting the gov is right, he’d rather have a living son. Its been a long time, but i remember it being a really moving scene that clarified it for me.

It seems they were making a statement on what heroism is in an unwinnable situation - Dying in a fight you can’t win even though its right, versus shouldering the pain of living through injustice you can’t defeat and doing what you can for those still living. I don’t think they pull it off perfectly at all, but that’s my best guess of what they were going for.

I don’t think the game says this is a good thing, just inevitable.

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

How can something that isn’t an organization be a terrorist organization?

Jesus Christ stop with this great man theory

this is no different then what was already happening, which was no different in terms of policy than its been for decades.

Liberals desperately need to exceptionalize Trump. All the talk of the “MAGA Republicans” as if they aren’t just Republicans. For libs it has to be exceptional. They want to go back to something that never actually existed just as much as the fascists at this point. Fash want some combination of 50’s Americana, 30’s Germany, and the Roman Empire, and libs just want 90’s End of History where both parties could show some civility and enact welfare cuts and build the modern Jim Crow.

The imagination of reactionaries is a strange place.

I’ve been noticing an inordinate amount of reactionaries around here recently. Was their some sort of influx to lemmy recently?

Niether Moscow or Washington, but somehow Washington actually
