From what I remember from the Fallout games, the charters don't talk about or criticize the old world that much. The characters would criticize and react to the factions in their world like the Brotherhood of Steel or Enclave or whoever
I have not played the game in a long time but I don't remember anyone in game reacting to Liberty Prime speaking at all . The information about the pre-war world is there for the player as world building to show what ruined the world ( or comment on our own world)
I'm sure the satire is missed my most people, myself included. I played Fallout 3 when I was a little kid before I knew what the Cold War was lol. The audience of the original Fallout PC games in the 90s were not like that
New Vegas more directly comments on the idea of building new societies from the ashes of the old world. How each those new societies model themselves on old world views and how they all absolutely suck ass.
Rare to see a game rip into the 'Liberal Democracy' faction with actual systematic criticism rather than just "secret internal evil". The NCR are expansionist, colonial, and ultimately unsustainable and the game repeatedly points that out to they player as criticism of both the NCR and the old world system it's based on.

That's a great point! Man I've really got to visit this game. So much probably flew over my head the first time I played
