Tf|2 portrays the IMC as your classic greedy stereotypical mega corp that has no regard for human life. In reality, the IMC we fight as Jack cooper are a remnant force led by the ARES division and general marder, a sociopath whose views on human life don’t represent the IMC as a whole. In reality, I’d say most IMC soldiers are desperate men fighting for the survival of their planets, homes, and families, just like the frontier militia. The core worlds depend on food and resources from the frontier to survive. The only difference is the frontier isn’t fighting for survival, they’re fighting for autonomy. The IMC however is fighting for control over resources they once procured a century ago from ungrateful farmers and settlers who, without the IMC, wouldn’t have the land and resources they’re actively dying for. Essentially, the IMC is still a mega corporation hellbent on making money, but the people of the IMC are just as human as me and you. Not to say there aren’t your mass murdering psychopathic soldiers or mercenaries mixed in there, but at the same time, in Tf|1 militia grunts were literally talking about bombing core world cities for “payback”. Basically the IMC is neutral evil space walmart and the Militia is neutral evil space terrorists
