I get the sentiment, but I feel like Caesar’s Legion wasn’t really meant to be like, satirical? The authors of New Vegas clearly intended for him to be the wrong choice, don’t get me wrong, but it does still feel like a serious depiction of fascism rather than purely taking the piss out of it. It’s silly only insofar as fascism itself tends to lead to silliness.
Satirizing fascists is really hard because there are irl fascists who use baby talk to spread their bullshit. If that wasn’t our reality and someone wrote a game about fascists who say “fren let’s make a heckin good Aryan ethno state” the author would be laughed out of the room.
I don’t think they were attempting satire in the first place, is what I’m saying. It feels like they were trying to make something believable - if fascism were to coalesce in the post-nuclear world, this is what it might look like, at least that’s the impression I got. Caesar liking Roman aesthetics doesn’t strike me as any weirder than Hitler being into like runes and shit.
Yeah I agree. Was trying to say that an earnest attempt at portraying fascism is difficult to separate from satire because of how stupid Fascism is irl.
Thats not how fucking dialectics works you stupid cuck. I didn’t study Hegel (plus continental philosophy in general) at Harvard for 7 FUCKING YEARS for some LOW LIFE KNOW IT ALL who’s CLEARLY never fucking read Hegel as he would KNOW that HEGEL has NEVER FUCKING EVER used the terms “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” to start perpetuating these LIES at VERY SINGLE FUCKING OPPORTUNITY. this isn’t Hegel my friend. No no no. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis was thought up by Fichte and it’s clearly inferior to Hegels dialectical method of imminent critique. Yes. It’s called imminent critique. And dialectics is only ONE PART of Hegels full method. Which again is called Imminent critique which you would know if you had ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO READ HEGEL ITS LITERALLY IN THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC YOU DUMB FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. I honestly cannot believe the fucking arrogance to come into the wasteland, spouting that anti Hegel garbage. Where did you get your fucking info on dialectics? Fucking Jason Unruhe? Jesus fucking Christ I cannot deal with this bullshit right now I’m sorry I’m leaving I’m fucking leaving.
I was watching a lot of the Dagoth Ur AI videos for a minute and quickly realized a lot of the comments were getting way too enthusiastic over the fantasy racism.
