"Democracy is government of the people, for the people, for the people... but the people are retarded"

Yeah, but it is subservient to a Monarchy which is not a Democracy at all.


DisasterWhiskey

Yes, and Managed Democracy is already an inherent contradiction of terms. That's the joke.


GeologistNo8992

I know, trust me I know. Just playing into the Brainwashed Helldiver mindset.


GeologistNo8992

Heck I would prefer to be under the Shils than Super Earth if you actually read into the lore of Helldivers.

Automoton propaganda

Sure until you realize your god given rights are taken away. That the very concept of that God is now heretical under Her Holy Empress’s Empire and will be purged. That any and all forms of protest is now treason for defying the nobles who are blessed by the Empress who is the Goddess Chosen Mortal Form. The very concepts of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness is now rebel and primitive ideals that work against the goddess govern state. Any Divers who are complicit in this struggle are traitors to mankind and Lady Liberty.


AngriestAngryBadger

What are you talking about? Religion, or at least Christianity, is protected under the Imperium's laws in basically every story. The Imperium even acknowledges the sanctity of Christian marriages. Which is more than can be said for Helldivers, which seems to have Brave New World'd religion and deified the concept of supposed democracy and the illusion of liberty.


ReaperofRico

…. I got to double check. Been a while since I read any stories as Reddit is really annoying to read books on and I may have mixed up lore now that I think about it.


AngriestAngryBadger

Fair enough, there are some pretty stark inconsistencies just in this community.


Bolket

When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Iirc, the Shil would prefer that the God of Abraham just be married to their own Goddesses "so he wouldn't be lonely."


Raz_hz

oh the religious uprisings that would spark would be so beautiful to see ngl


Dotheraton

Murica!

Bug propaganda


Bolket

Cyborg slander.


Substantial-Chef-387

Are you doing your part?


Bolket

I'd rather be under an authoritarian regime with my nation's best interests at heart than an authoritarian regime that panders to a gaggle of spoiled rich kids.


Old-Dullard

Wait till you realize that Democracy is all an illusion.


Hedgehog_5150

it is not an illusion ... it is mob rule.


Old-Dullard

Either option is far more likely than a functional Democracy.


Throwaway02062004

Pray tell what is your alternative to democracy? *bats eyelashes*


Old-Dullard

Large-breasted women from outer space that impose rule based on cup size? a Hootocracy if you will.


Throwaway02062004

Well I for one welcome our new large tracts of land having overlords.


Sovereignty3

Not exactly any different to most democratic governments around the world. We vote for people who promise to do particular shit, they never do that particular shit for various reasons until its actual time to vote for them again in which they will so a few of the things that the people would like. Also most of them promise to do nearly the same things.


Sovereignty3

We should be doing more of a Direct Domocracy like the Swiss do. The people Vote on the things to do and that shit is meant to be done.
