They always see themselves as part of the surviving 10% instead of one of the corpses that died first.
It's like when you see people fantasizing about the Fallout setting too.
A few weeks back some bazinga brains were talking about the necessary human casualties to get people to Mars with Elon Musk. Disgusting because it was them justifying the exploitation of the global south and stupid because they failed to realize that Musk and people like him see that user and everyone else as equally expendable. You'd think covid would show them that.
Well, for a long time they openly condoned blatant racism, idiot went so far as to say
On Reddit, the way in which we think about speech is to separate behavior from beliefs. This means on Reddit there will be people with beliefs different from your own, sometimes extremely so. When users actions conflict with our content policies, we take action. Our approach to governance is that communities can set appropriate standards around language for themselves. Many communities have rules around speech that are more restrictive than our own, and we fully support those rules.
I think in the wake of summer 2020 they started getting more restrictive when they realized that policy was going to hurt them more than it would help.
Reddit also, years back, had a sub called r/jailbait which was creepshots of women/girls of uncertain age. The guy who founded that sub got an award for helping drive site traffic, before they tossed him under the bus when major media got wind of this.
Guy's also a libertarian techbro, which basically explains all of it
I avoided 76 like the plague after reading about it, so I'm not surprised the playerbase is that bad. But yeah, warping the themes so badly about nuclear war was such a disappointing move.
And the :reddit-logo: CEO is just as depraved as I thought. LMAO good luck when people just shit in his air vents.
It's so fucking bizarre. They play these games where they don't have to answer to anyone and then turn around and think that means being a grunt for Musk or whatever. What zero theory does to a motherfucker.
It's such sad, delusional fanfiction. The highest they can aspire towards is a faceless gunman and even then, you'd think they would listen to a single person who works for musk at any level.
The fact that fascism is a death cult that eventually destroys itself makes it no less terrifying. It's why we have to stomp it out where we can. I'm just glad we have a community here that's actually anti-fascist.
Lol in reality HARD DECISIONS would b whether to plant potatoes or squash this season and GETTING SHIT DONE would be digging the rubble out the reclaimed field without use of heavy machinery.
Picturing Musk's private paramilitary having to piss in bottles because they don't get paid to take real bathroom breaks. And then half of them die of a mysterious Martian dick fungus, because they also don't get paid to wash their hands after pissing in bottles.
TVTropes of all places had a good thing to say about this, in its article on Threads:
After all the nukes drop, there won't even be the violent glamor of Fallout or Mad Max style adventures; we'll all just die. And it wouldn't be a quick death either.
I genuinely think that watching Threads as a child - while probably somewhat traumatic - helped me avoid the worst of the 'I'd be an awesome badass in the apocalypse' brainworms lmao (even though I do still play post apocalypse videogames and the like). Being generally a bit of a pessimist and having a bunch of chronic conditions/illnesses probably contributed, too.

Love watching him get ratio’d on his own platform
Not familiar with him outside of his job and this "yeah i'd be a warlord" bit. How so?

Genius: "I will hire mercenaries to protect me in the event of an apocalypse who will be capable of keeping me safe via force"
Also genius: "I will ensure their loyalty to me by forcing them to wear explosive collars"
Who will be forcing who to wear them in this scenario bro lmao

True, but prob significantly fewer and fewer after the first winter

We'll just have the bad future of Chrono Trigger at best.
