So we get a Helldivers release when the fascists are smart enough to hide their imperialist crimes behind a veneer of progressivism? I guess that makes sense with the series lore.

So Helldivers primes idiots to accept fascism and xenophobia? Maybe we should stop romanticizing authoritarianism in our entertainment.
