I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.
I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the "ironic" fascist to actual fash pipeline.
Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck
Happened to me as well. I was like "Holy shit a tank with 2 guns? This I'd the coolest thing I've ever seen."
The communism part came later. But I was sold on tanks from the get-go. I mean, tanks are just battle tractors. Using refurbished farm shit for war is one of the oldest traditions.
