Liberal Hyporcisy
« on: December 13, 2008, 11:22:07 am »

Something that bothers me about the LCS.

For an organization that claims to support free speech, its killings of Conservative civilians such as janitors and Lab Techs and its tactic of brainwashing people to be sleepers, doesn't that seem to interefere with the Freedom of Speech?

Being coereced to believe in Liberalism, either due to fears of being starved to death or being shot to death, doesn't sound like 'freedom' to me.

EDIT: Of course, if this was intended, I salute you.

You're forgetting what's happening during all those interrogations. The lead interrogator reveals the truth to them. They merely resist.

Conservatives don't believe in free speech. So killing them promotes it.

That's the joke.  That's also why they carry guns while fighting to ban them.  It's a pastiche of real liberal terrorist and ecoterrorist groups like ALF and PeTA, who are quite given to hypocrisy and "it's only acceptable if we do it," justifications.

I heard about a group somewhere that puts railroad spikes in trees that are to be cut down, and when the trees are being cut up at the sawmill, the blades hit them and blow apart, killing people.

But man, those trees.  Gotta save them.

It's a satire game. You expected it to make sense? :D

This game should exclaim you're playing a TERRORIST organization. Not a liberal political party.

It's just a mega-satire, both of actual liberal activists and of how conservatives perceive them.

Oh... It couldn't be a NORMAL satire that would be too mundane...

No it had to be a MEGA satire.  >:(

What? I thought this was all real.
Are you telling me I shouldn't have just gone out and killed 3 people because they were conservative, indicated by their red clothing?

Well the training program we've been using has shown that people dressed in white are moderate, green is liberal, and red is conservative.
Other colors seem to be glitches.

This game should exclaim you're playing a TERRORIST organization. Not a liberal political party.

As a player, you might think of the LCS as a terrorist organization.  However, there are two reasons they are shown in the game as they are:

1) The game is from the standpoint of the LCS, which doesn't see itself as a terrorist organization, no matter how many terrorist acts they commit.  No, they're freedom fighters!  Remember, history is written by the victors.

2) The game allows many ways of playing.  If you'd like, feel free to play as a group that never does more than civil disturbances, freeing caged animals, destoying liberal equipment, and publish a newspaper.  If the LCS is a terrorist organization, it's only because YOU are playing them as such.  They're your organization, and they kill on your orders.  Feel free to rename your squad "Evil Liberal Terrorists".  Or whatever you feel is fun.

EDIT: I just wanted to clairfy, I'm not trying to attack anyone, just enlighten them.

Do you expect EVERYTHING to explain itself to you? It's satire. The fact that the game claims it's a liberal political movement instead of a sociopathic terrorist group is half the point.
