Just like with Starship Troopers, satire like this goes flying over people's heads so low and fast, it breaks the sound barrier and loosens dentalwork.

    Yeah. I'm waiting on them to show ICE agents as helldivers or something. That IP could not be more clear about it's parody of the far right "freedom" quislings.

    I'm actually starting to think it's on purpose. Just like with spam email with misspellings and the kind of ear-marks that warns off smart people, the only ones left to click on "win a free iphone" are easily duped. Going after people that are drawn in by iconography and optics, but fail to understand nuance and the substance behind them, may be entirely the point.

    I've been saying it for months, but fascists are "stupid" for the same reason Nigerian prince emails are always poorly written, and full of spelling and grammar mistakes....

    Trump's tweets make a lot more sense if you view them in this contey

    I mean there was some guy at a military event (a YouTuber or smthn I think?) that literally did the helldivers recruiting intro but replaced it with marines
