I'm genuinely impressed with their balls. Libs probably won't notice it but they've done this both on twitter and in-game.
Unlimited genocide on super earth, Cyberstan will be free
Whyesseff is amazing how do we already have a super earth flag?!
lol no, its the UN flag, super earth flag its like the UN flag in logo with Nato flag colors 
Nice to finally have a game without politics
OP I'm not sure what you're talking about? This game doesn't have politics, it's not some Disney woke nonsense. Not sure if you're thinking of another game.
Not true, there's a woman on your space ship. Not even Heckdivers is safe from Woke these days.
Nono that's fine, she's serving you. But you can play as a woman and THATS woke
I've changed the in-game options to randomize whether I spawn in as a man or woke, and I'm keeping an excel spreadsheet to determine the percentage of SJW propaganda being forced on us. I've been invited onto the Joe Rogan Experience to discuss my findings.
Really wish you could randomize body type as well
its not my kind of game, but im LOVING how the devs are using the games online capabilities. i read somewhere that they essentially have a tabletop rpg style DM who manages the events like this and its such a cool idea.
The post before that was amazing too
Oh my god, the "the fight continues" banner in the op poster is just pasted over the mission accomplished text 
The last thing I want to do is play an online game with all the people who wanted to be the troopers in starship troopers.
Yeah but friendly fire is always on.
Oh shit really? Maybe I will jump in for a bit
Merc your CO, online!!
It feels like a leap to me that they're specifically satirizing Ukraine.
Why? Google "unprovoked invasion" and it's page after page of Ukraine shit, this language has practically been a meme surrounding the ukraine war, and the left has criticised it very heavily: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/11/gfgh-m11.html
If the devs are socialist-leaning then it tracks. Put it this way they also satirise the use of "authoritarian" to describe socialists in the game, which means they're definitely left of lib.
The devs absolutely are left-leaning, the whole thing started as an in-joke in their office. They even make it explicit that super-earth doesn't develop any tech of it's own, they just steal it.
also the "authoritarian light: used for tyrrany" is such a good bit i doubt a lib could come up with it
I was gonna say I think OP called down the jump pack stratagem
They're satirizing the language of political propaganda in general. There's no reason to think they're commenting on Ukraine specifically.
They're satirizing American imperial language and there are definitely enough people in that studio to have chuckled about Ukraine, or October 7th, etc.
Yes this is my read
The game is pretty explicitly about NATO imperialism and isn't subtle with it. It tracks.
Its the most recent version of this. It would be weirder if Ukraine wasn't at least on some minds.
Egh, it's subtle enough for them libs to not notice... see the flag... looks more UN than NATO-ish so I suppose the least someone can think of is the U.S-led "U.N" campaign in the Korean War...
As far as I can tell the average helldiver lib hasn't put together that Super Earth is a satire of 21st century western imperialism at all. Asking them "which fascist power is super earth satirizing?" Breaks their brains.

And why would they? Let them sink into the marsh, as Lenin would've said...
If they want to rebound back, we can accept them back.. until then.... 
I contend that this is the correct interpretation.
Feels more like satirizing Zionists around 10/7
That would definitely be a safer bit of satire but I'm convinced there's a ukraine element going on here.
I was looking at Sweden's Left Party and they have seats and an anti-nato position, so it tracks that there could be a whole studio with this mindset.
Even the anti-nato people tend to be pro-Ukraine.
Bit of both really
Libs will no doubt take it at face value
Either we're making this all up in our head or we've got comrades in Sweden.
I'm quite certain these people are very left of lib.
I need to replay Magicka with the benefit of several years of de-brainworming. Wonder if there were any hints back then.
You've lost me at "this game has politics"
A lot of games do. It's a storytelling device.
Someone explain
Helldivers is a game about being a disposable soldier for a fashest empire. They pretty much copy American propaganda directly. Libs do not get the joke.
Awooooooooooooooo
They'll use "full-scale invasion" next
I believe it more now with Macron pushing to actualy put troops in Ukraine. It would have been questionable before but its impossible to think the devs haven't noticed, this is the closest NATO is getting to directly fighting the latest "unprovoked invasion".
Damn, y'all are finally gonna get me to play this game...
The game won't be for everyone. It's a PVE horde fighter that mimicks starship troopers in the sense that you mercilessly die a lot. Fun if accurately recreating Starship Troopers sounds fun to you. Devs are cool though.
