  • What bothers me with the Fallout show, is that on the surface it looks like a capitalist critique. It is partly, but it does so in a very anti-materialist comical way that ultimately you can easily discard as fiction.

    Fallout show spoilers

    Vault tec intentionally nuke the planet. Not to secure resources, not to end a war, not even for some vague political end that accidently goes wrong. They nuke the planet so they can deliberately live underground for hundreds of years in a cramped-ass vault.

    You could almost convince me this secret society of corporate interests were legitimately talking out of both sides of their mouth to each other if it wasn’t for the nuke the planet scheme. They simultaneously think competition is good, and also bad and need to end it permanently?
