I've seen too much of this. No, the nazis and the Soviets were not equivalent.

Do. Better.

          Somehow worse awareness of the series' message than Beth-era Fallout itself

          I had to go look it up and found an /r/outoftheloop thread about it.

          Someone commented about the episode of the Twilight Zone, "He's alive", having to do with a neonazi seeing the ghost of Hitler. He included the closing remarks from sterling, which is just too good not to share.

          Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare – Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because through these things we keep him alive.

      Think about where that quote came from. It's a giant death robot in a world that's been nuked so hard that everything's a barren wasteland full of zombies and mutants. They did receive death instead of communism. You want to live in a irradiated wasteland?

      That robot is supposed to be ironic

      You are taking pride in the thought of fighting to the death against your own interests while parroting a line that was making fun of the sentiment you are expressing.

      I can prove otherwise but it's quite a lot of text so I'm adding a spoiler

      Well that's a self-negating thing to say, do you own capital or do you live on a wage? Be honest Fallout boy, you're unironically quoting video game lines so I assume you're pretty young

      I get you probably grew up in a environment that fosters such behavior, but you shouldn't base your politics entirely on media consumption and online posturing, it's childish and nihilistic

        you shouldn't base your politics entirely on media consumption

        And if you do, you should probably try to pay attention enough to at least understand it.

      If you're a wealth hording capitalism, those are synonymous. Otherwise this is plain stupid
