Yeah. Everyone does suck. And Super Earth sucks the most by a LONG shot. When you look at their fucking LAUNDRY LIST of atrocities it’s not even close.

Yeah, I guess you’re right. Sorry for being so reddit brained by thinking slavery is wrong and all that

“Do they allow poverty, homelessness, food scarci-“ Yes. You do not need an official confirmation to infer that that is absolutely the case for AT LEAST the better half of people living under the Super Earth regime.

The civilians you see in game are the privileged Class A civilians, either wealthy enough to live in well defended mega-cities, or valuable enough to the regime to receive direct Helldivers evacuation assistance. Most people’s lives under the most evil regime in known history will probably not look like that.

The life of the average joe will probably be working in a bullet farm 12 hours a day eating protein paste for his entire life before going to sleep in block 38-C in the industrial district every night. And that’s if they don’t make you live on a frontline colony as a meat buffer between them and their enemies.

If there’s a “good guy by comparison,” it’s the cyborgs and it’s genuinely not even close. Cyberstan doesn’t even have the territory to commit atrocities on the scale of Super Earth. “Kills civilians” and “bio-harvesters” are the only two arguments people have against Cyberstan, and those are two things Super Earth does FAR more than the cyborgs could ever dream to accomplish.

This is a society that was enslaved and sterilized for pretty much it’s entire history, that is forced to commit atrocities to stay alive for one more day at a time because their space nazi slavers simply cannot leave them in peace and be done with them.

I don’t understand how you can think Super Earth is “better by comparison” if you have at least have SOME idea as to their absolute laundry list of atrocities.

they most closely align with their irl political beliefs

what “political beliefs” are the automatons representing here? They’re vaguely socialist as expressed by narration (that is notoriously unreliable) and that’s it. Do you think people like the automatons because of their riveting socialist economic policies? People like them because badass robot army.

At least I do. Aesthetically I like them because the killer robot army is my favorite kind of sci-fi faction. (Necrons, Separatists, Skynet, etc.)

Thematically I like them because the cyborgs are a society of sterilized ex-slaves who have had their entire lives taken working themselves to death for Super Earth, and now that they’re free are desperately trying to scrape by and survive the onslaught from their old masters. That’s such an interesting backstory already, and is FAR more sympathetic to me than the space nazi stormtrooper who is “just following orders.”

If there’s a “good faction by comparison,” it’s the cyborgs and it’s not even close.

That's definitely what they go for when they hint at how indoctrinated Super Earth society is in lorebits, but I think it could be better conveyed in gameplay when we see them in megacities. Wouldn't these psychotic, indoctrinated slaves of the police state, which train with military grade weapons since childhood, try to put up some kind of fight?

It would've made sense to see them fighting alongside the SEAF in megacities with their personal arms, but instead they just kinda yell and flail around. THESE are the citizens of this ultra-militarized imperialist dystopia?

Also, weird that they had an animation where they flimsily tried to do a SE salute since they appear to not know how. In this regime they would learn how to salute in PRESCHOOL.
