It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Disclaimer: haven't played the game, just interested since I saw people comparing it to Starship Troopers.

Yes, the CCP and DPRK are just like the war obsessed SEAF whereas the US who has been in some kind of war for its whole existence is just like uhhhh the pacifist Illuminate?

Like the parallel is staring you in the face - China and the US "ostensibly compete for space and resources", but which one is constantly at war to reach those ends?

Not even the most dunk-worthy comment either, this one just annoyed me by drawing me into a wall of text and then pulling out this turd half way through.

Also, it's all but said in the first game that Super Earth attacks the Illuminate because they want to steal their technology

They attack the Cyborgs for ideological reasons and they attack the Terminids because they turn their corpses into a substance called E-710 (Oil) that they use as fuel

With the fact that Super Earthicans are constantly shouting about Freedom and Democracy, they are very clearly USAans
