The bugs (Terminids) were ACTUALLY super peaceful during first contact and even managed to make a basic way to communicate. It was when humans started to get scared of the gigantic bugs was when all the fighting started, and AFTER when they learned of the bugs fossil fuel property, did it get ALOT worse...

      It's actually the same now. Your soldiers harass and rob entire populations. Theft and rape are common. In real war zones like the Donbass and Palestine you're outright genocidal.

      ​@@declicitous1763 nope its kinda confirmed that automatons are an AI of cyborgs, when cyborgs got caged they managed to send this AI out, so now automatons have a directive to get the cyborg leaders out of their prison on super earth.
      Thers a whole theory going around that we gonna get cyborgs or something similar after automatons capture super earth (the first game was a cycle, sonetimes helldivers won and sane systems were kept, sonetimes they lost and super earth had to be left behind and new one was formed, I think its posible this game could have a similar thing.
      Additionally it could be an interesting way to add a new faction, as when the devs are ready they could start a special event, like a large scale atack (similar to the defense even we have now but times 10) so automatons whould push us all the way to super earth, then if we as a comunity manage to somehow hold the onslought and protect it, they could easily say that during the fighting automatons relised the cyborgs or if we lose then just that the automatons victory alowed a new enemy to rise.
      That whould be a great even and overall thing, as if they gave players a posibility to influence the history and lore of the game then even more people whould be interested in the game, althou I'm preatty sure the servers are suffering enought as it is hahaha

Warhammer 40K is a great example of how dissent inside an empire, even a small amount, can lead to an absolute fracture of leadership and unity, leading to trillions of deaths. A unified Imperium would be far stronger, the galaxy wouldn't stand a chance. The Imperium would be able to handle everything because half of their time is spent chasing down traitors. If we had the same issue on Super Earth, Helldivers would be dispatched to kill off dissidents too much to be able to spread Democracy to the bots and the bugs.

      Yeah they don’t suffer and rarely if ever does a normal citizen have anything to worry about.
      Except if they are one of those worlds that are taken over. that’s pretty much the worse they can suffer

    To be fucking honest, I would prefer to live with all those bugs being woken every fucking day by another stomping titan right over my window or hearing every 30 seconds same automaton march out of my bedroom again that living a second in a world where you get "another doctors visit a year" or "get enough citizenship points to get my children goldfish". My god in christ, this isn't a fucking satire anymore. That's straight saying living in slimy bug conditions is better.

    "It's so silly how they believe they're fascists but they've been tricked into thinking they're democratic heroes spreading freedom" muses the 36-year-old American IT guy on his lunch break. He closes the video and goes back to his desk, coffee mug in hand, and gets back to work on a flight control program for drones that will be used by his military to drop bombs on people on the other side of the world.

      "B-but it's the Palestinians, Russians and Chinese that are fascist! Everyone knows that! I know propaganda when I see it. Now I haven't actually heard a word any of them have said or what they're shown on TV but I know it's fascist propaganda!"

      yeah no shiet, the woke is the continuation of the western imperial moral system not its antithesis.

      The 36 year old guy (if he knows it's being done for the military) damn well knows what that drone will be used for. There is no pretentious notions like that anymore for most military folk, it's more a "it's my life or theirs" attitude.
