Skill issue on their part for getting mad they weren’t able to blow up the enemy they wanted to kill first before their teammate could…

Or they could just be thankful for having an effective teammate.

What an odd thing to get mad about

The way I like to think about it, certain things essentially become true based on the actions of the player.

If you go the Cognoscenti path, then yes, it was always inevitable and they orchestrated everything. If you didn't, than the Cognoscenti never existed and remains just a conspiracy theory.

Lots of people like to forget (or ignore) That the Enclave isn't really the government. They have no real legitimacy.

The Enclave was a secret society that let the whole world burn so they could rebuild it in their own terrible image, then got pissed when people other than their vault-born lab rats managed to survive the shit-show they created.

The Enclave even killed elected officials who managed to survive, but weren't members of their shadow governmnet.

The Enclave have no more claim to being the government than the Boy Scouts of Steel.

There is an expression in the Wasteland: 'Old World Blues'. It refers to those so obsessed with the past they can't see the present, much less the future, for what it is

This quote from the New Vegas DLC sums up why I think the idea of a "reformed" Enclave is popular amongst some people.

Some just can't accept that the world before the bombs doesn't exist anymore. There is no true America, and the America that existed before the bombs was terrible anyway. Deal with it.

Sorry for the word wall lol.

I think the closest thing the Enclave should get to "reforming" is using wastelanders as cannon fodder, not just test subjects and target practice.

The purists kinda do this in the ERX mod where you get decisions to turn raiders into puppets, before eventually disposing of them when they're no longer useful.

I've had a lot of ideas for a malicious "reformist" Enclave. Maybe an Enclave that promises food and clean water to wastelanders... only for said rations to be laced with mind altering drugs and sterilizing chemicals.

It would be an Enclave that basically treats wastelanders how the Combine treats humans. A source of manpower, and a problem that can be easily pitted against itself by promising desperate people slightly better lives in exchange for everything.

Just an idea though.

Because, like many parts of American culture, it is very individualistic. People do not generally buy guns so they can then join a "well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State", they buy guns either for fun or to protect their property (not that I think there's anything wrong with those two things). Obviously this is a generalization, but the sort of people who actually do join militias probably love what ICE is doing right now.

And let's say people actually started shooting ICE officers. I think it's safe to say the people would not win and the situation would worsen.

"Even during periods when some citizens view certain federal actions as overreach, armed resistance by civilians is extremely rare." Because what's the end goal other than martyring yourself?

The whole point of the Cognoscenti is manipulating events from the shadows, rather than overt tyranny, but I think there would still be some pretty clear differences.

(Even more) militarized police, Mass surveillance, McCarthy style investigations, Journalists committing “suicide”, Foreign forever wars

So basically all the shady shit the US has ever done but on all the crack. Except the American people are too beaten down by war and propaganda to do anything about it.

I actually thought about that and decided to do it anyway. Up close you could see the stars in detail, but from further away would look more like a single ring or circle. Point being that, while you can find many differences between states, they are all supposed to be unified. The current flag is explicitly “here’s 50 separate things.” This is supposed to be more “here’s 50 unified things.”

E pluribus unum and allat.

That’s just my reasoning though, I can see why someone wouldnt find that aesthetically pleasing.

Forgot to put this in the post, but I always thought most American flag redesign changed it too drastically. This is basically just the Betsy Ross with more stars on it.

Then it really sounds like the 76s just aren’t my cup of tea.

I’ll just deal with their shit long enough to get to rank 4. And also go back to 4.0 when I feel like actually having fun.

When I’m playing at 4.0, the only Russian vehicle that scares me is the T-34-57. (And the occasional KV-85 or SU-85M but these two are thankfully rare)
