They started a three front war ,prioritize citizens differently based on a state defined class system, got the earth blown up on at least one occasion, use their soldiers as disposable cannon fodder, and send everyone who disagree with them to reeducation camps. Other than that its a swell place.
Its tiring how bad general media literacy is that I can’t tell if the 4chan post above is a joke.
Where does this lore come from? I’ve never heard of super earth
Helldivers games
“amazing quality of life”
Sure, if you’re the right kind of super citizen.
Yea, when choosing a fictional world to aspire for, it’s useful to consider how most citizens are treated.
Our current world is great too, for some.
Anon is probably the kind of person who also thinks Sparta was great, and just disregards that 90% of the population there were slaves.
let’s use the veil of ignorance for this one - when choosing a model society to aspire for pretend you have no idea where you’ll be placed in it. maybe 80% is doing decently, 5% is doing well, and 15% is doing really bad, are you ready to potentially become a part of the 15%? if not, let’s find a different model
Is this helldivers? The game where half of a planet’s population is forcibly turned into big fuel every few years?
Theres a reoccuring problem with bigly brained thinkers where they omit all the terrible shit and look at only what the propaganda wants them to. Even in a game this remains true.
Most clips from Starship Troopers on YouTube have filled comments’ sections with people waxing about how based the society is and it’s actually a utopia (to your point).

Big “The Imperium of Man are actually the good guys” energy.
wouldnt a superearth have a much higher gravity, which humans cant survive anyways,
they’re talking about Super Earth, a fictional polity, and not a super-Earth, a type of exoplanet
Nonononono, it just produces superstrong superhumans…

I get the feeling that this anon would read A Brave New World and have an issue with it being labeled dystopian fiction.
