Fallout Season 2 Episode 7 recap: 'Don't think of them as human beings, think of them as Americans' - PCGamer

https://www.pcgamer.com/movies-tv/fallout-season-2-episode-7-recap-dont-think-of-them-as-human-beings-think-of-them-as-americans/

This quote is from the recent episode of Fallout. I know that it is inflammatory and I'm not endorsing it.

This is a popular show and this episode was intended to be commentary on the current administration, so I feel it is relevant to this community.

Thoughts?

If you don't want to be the bad guys, then don't act like it. This is what soft power fading looks like.

America is in for a hell of a ride the next ten years. If I was American, I'd be out every day, because foreigners only go by what they experience and feel every day, and when you're overseas, well...

Let's just say I wouldn't feel safe leaving the bubble of the ol' Red, White, and Blue.

I'm not at the point of thinking that Americans are non-human. I am at the point of considering them, however, to be a cultural cancer that needs to be rapidly hit with chemotherapy and excised from the body politic of the world.

Yeah, I loved that, why I watched that episode, but really it is not just The USAns*. The 1st World nations are the same. Thinking about the issues hanging over our lives like executioners- just some of the worst ‘Global Warming’, ‘7th Great Extinction’, ‘Nuclear War’ & ‘Nuclear Waste’, yet all 1st World nations do next to nothing to prevent their worse from happening, stop or reverse them. It insanity really

*- Just using Americans groups in all of North America,Central America & South America, they are all Americans or it says USAns are so superior that they are Americans, though it makes no logical sense.
