Idk 100%. But he excommunicated Romero or at least the more radical liberation thoelogians (Romero was a moderate), and in general did whatever he could to signal to the contras and those like them that Rome had their back.

JP2 was a fascist POS.

Fucking lol JP2 approved the hit

Eh CTH itself has flirted with blaming the problems of the left on those pesky Ess Jay Dubyas and their intersectionality. They’re closer to their fellow brooklyn do-nothing political infotainers than they are to what was the subreddit.

Which is why they hated the sub, and why we’d always joke that :citations-needed: was the sub’s official podcast.

Not the analogy I was thinking of but it also fits.

Was more thinking that of course a museum of policing would have a lot of Nazi shit

The memorabilia will be stored in Rio de Janeiro police museum for the time being.

Lol

That’s a very good point. We’re even closer to collapse than I thought if the NSA or similar has true-believer fash on payroll.

*This comment kinda reads laughably naive if you think about Operation Paperclip or w/e, but those fash had handlers, were targeted at labor/red scare/whatever, etc. This seems different.

The news outlet that first broke her identity reported that she was a ‘high level security official’.

In case you’re not aware, 3 letter agencies pretty routinely deputize troops for intel work. I’ve known enlisted troops who worked for the NSA when they were active duty, so a ‘high level security official’ would almost certainly be one of those (haven’t been able to find her rank but I’m kinda over digging any deeper considering it’s all tabloid trash and lib rags doing the reporting). I saw some other tweets claiming she was a cop but those seemed dubious at best.

Are there authentically Q-pilled troops? Absolutely. Are there authentically Q-pilled cops? Absolutely. My argument is that the authentically Q-pilled troops doing intel work are outnumbered by agent provocateurs. The FBI’s got folks on the ‘kidnap Gretchen Whitmer’ and ‘bomb the Hoover Dam’ plots but they don’t have anyone on the ground yesterday? Seems far-fetched.

She got pumped full of hateful propoganda and charged in believing she was doing something good, and died for it.

Given her career it’s far more likely she was an agent provocateur than a true believer.

Maybe I just didn’t play far enough in the story, but I got a distinct liberal bothsides vibe with ‘unrestricted capitalism bad’, but leftists are terrorists.

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing there’s no deus ex twist at the end where the terrorists are false flags.

Too bad I won’t find out, I was enjoying it until the le epic keanu moment has soured me on AAA games entirely.

Also their ussr ain’t even socdem. It’s a neoliberal trade cartel exactly like the eu is today.

I read it. The UK has the NHS that doesn’t mean they’re still not a neoliberal shithole.

That lore entry was designed to be absolutely devoured by left twitter but the actual lore is lib shit. Especially in the context of the genre, it’s thoroughly reactionary.

Lol yep that’s exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning

Playing the original deus ex now instead

My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.

Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that’s how they usually flow.

The le epic keanu moment got me to put it down. I had low expectations and it was worse than that

Once again commenting to point out that cyberpunk’s ‘USSR’ is an EU-style capital cartel that formed after the soviet union.
