I swear I’m not a auto sympathizer but how do we know we actually aren’t the bad guys?
QuestionHave you ever tried to use the hug emote on a bot?
I let them hug my laser beam if that counts. They all fall over with glee from what I can tell.
They did attempt commutation.
They said "AH"
Absolutely evil bastards
I don’t know why when I read that part about the bots talking, I heard a shitty auto tuned scream in my head, but that just made it better and I definitely pissed off some of my coworkers trying to get their work done in peace.
Best hidden bot post:
No I swear I’m not one!
Beep boop! I am not a robot! That's all I hear you damn clanker ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Wait no your kill is all!
Only good clanker is a dead clanker!! Have a cup of liber-tea you bolt biting, rust licking, oil monkey🦅🦅🦅🛢🛢🛢🦅🛢➡️➡️⬇️
What can I do to prove my innocence?!
Finish these sentences
My life for...
How bout a nice cup...
You'll never destroy...
Every man, woman, and child over the age of 7...
Everyone knows that bugs...
If you can get 4/5 you can live
Oh yeah? Then click every picture containing a traffic light!
Ok “ click “ “ click “ I messed up on the last one…
➡️➡️➡️
At automaton outposts we see the shattered viscera of SEAF soldiers dumped in corpse piles and we see the torn apart and mutilated remains of fellow helldivers impaled on barbed pikes.
Recently I’ve noticed on the bug front piles of corpses belong to SEAF personnel - the smears of blood on the floor show bodies have clearly been dragged and piled together. I didn’t see these body piles a month ago, but now I see them in every single dive.
Perhaps managed democracy is flawed (it isn’t), perhaps Super Earth is bringing freedom, equality and justice to aliens not capable or not suited for it (everyone can be free). But doubts are pointless: even if we somehow weren’t right, our enemies are clearly evil and depraved and intent on not just exterminating humanity - but making us suffer while doing it. Don’t trust lies, trust your own eyes and more importantly, trust in the Ministry of Truth.
Ok it’s just I feel like the ministry of truth is a little corrupt…
Beep beep.. “ hello?.. yes I would like to report a citizen that is unpatriotic and tell lies”.. “ yes I will keep an eye on him until he can go to the stake for treason..”
I have reported you!!!
W-wait I was just joking fellow hell diver!
Why is your phone out? Are you ordering super hut pizza?
It sounds like you need to speak with your local democracy officer. The reeducation camp will do wonders for getting rid of your doubts.
Yeah good idea
It doesn't matter : either we win this war and preserve our way of life or we lose both. We don't have time for this kind of question. The only question in your mind should : "What am I fighting for?" Personally, it's for my lil' sister so she can have the Cosy life I wish I had.
Find a reason to fight
Respectable
Infiltrator spotted. Eliminate with extreme prejudice.
Bro tip: There are no good guys in space. This should be appointed as No1 rule for traitors.
Thanks for the tip
Remember, its not that super earth hates aliens, it's that aliens hate freedom.
Most definitely
We're not. The Ministry of Truth said so.
Yes, right, sorry
Good, Bad, I’m the guy with the 500kg bomb.
Cool just don’t drop it
We are the bad guys, but we are also the winners. Losers lose, but that would also make a cool sequel. When democracy splinters into peace loving and warmongering
You got caught sympathizer this was a sting operation
bad to the bone plays in the background and I take off my helmet to reveal another helmet with sunglass on underneath whats wrong with being bad
So much
I know I'm not the bad guy because Super Earth tells me I'm not the bad guy! And it sounds like you're sympathizing, sympathizer.
I promise I’m not I’m just saying how do we know we are also the bad guys? What if there is no good side?
Is that a live feed?
I dunno...you tell me 🤨
What that mean?
Reported to democracy officer for re-education
I don’t need re-education through
Democracy officer en route. Please do not flee. Your malfunction will be amended.
Everyone is the bad guy to someone else. All that matters is democracy.
Your wisdom is enlightening
This is my only conclusion here: We can’t be the baddies if we are defending DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY, right?
Agreed just had to make sure
Because we are right
How do we know?
Very simple, they are not us so they are wrong.
They are not human so they are wrong.
Suffer no alien and robot to live, its our galaxy and they are just pests we need to eradicate.
When termites infest your home you don't ask yourself "am I bad guy" no, you destroy all the termites
Thanks for getting my head straight anyway for Freedom
No worries my man, I did report you to democracy officer just in case this automaton sympathizing speech was indeed sympathizing with enemy.
But I believe you are clean and will not he sent into bio-processing facility
Thank you fellow freedom fighter
Who you calling?
The Ministery of Truth is in the know of your current position, Simpathyzer.
We are sending a security team to terminate you.
The Ministery of Truth thanks very kindly for not using a VPN while browsing!
The Ministery of Truth also thanks everyone that reported this traitor to the authorities!
For Super Earth, Democracy and Freedom!
Haha your joking r-right I have my ID with me for proof that I’m clear
Your data has been collected and will be used against the others of your kind.
Thank you for your cooperation!
In treason, you still served Democracy.
They aren't called defend missions for no reason.
Hahahah
Because we're humans
Great point
Whoever wins are the good guys, because there's nobody left to say otherwise.
I love your logic your a true citizen, of super earth
Sounds like someone just got in line for reeducation 🤔
Uhhh
We know we are the good guys because we fight for Managed Democracy!
Now quit your yap and get back in line, helldiver, or I'll report you to the Ministry of Truth myself!
YES SIR
Yes think about it! Based on the report of the bots we started the war with them because we struck first
Who are you calling? Is it super Hut pizza?
Democracy Hut. They will be at your place in less than 30 min!
(completely oblivious) Ohh really I’ve never heard of democracy hut their pizza must be good if it’s going to be here in 30m
It’s not good guy bad guy, it’s kill or be killed
Why though? Can’t we all be friends- I mean can’t we at least keep the stragglers around for research?
I can extract samples on the dead easier than the live ones. And if we want to observe their behaviors, we can do that from afar. Democracy must not fall.
Agreed
Straight to jail
But why?
The ministry of truth might be interested in what you have to say. Why don’t you talk to them about it?
Ohh I did, they sorta chased me off, I can’t tell if I’m a fugitive now
Yeah! The bugs are the real bad guys!! Leave the bots alone!!
You walk straight into it, this is a sting operation
What do you mean?! I'm just a regular freedom democracy loving bot-err Human.
Hands up
How about dicks out for democracy? 😁
You tell me
Your the 6 person to have ratted me out
Super Earth over ALL!!!!
Thank goodness
Treason!
No no no!!!
Back to the re-democratizing center with you. :)
Noooo
Aah Ah ah. No whining. Now get on the freedom bus
But I am a free human with managed democracy
Of course you are!!! And in order to stay free you need to be re-democratized!!!
Why are you staring at me like that
You know exactly why I'm staring at you... 😒
Hahahahaha good question helldiver! I got your answer right here ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
“ gulp “
We are the bad guys. Now stfu and GET BACK OUT THERE
Y-yes sir!!!
Because bots are bad and Termanids are terrific!
Music to my ears
History is written by the Victor's.
Super earth is hiding something. The automatons are not in the wrong!
Buddy you walked into this trap, this was a sting operation your under arrest for treason
Buddy you walked into this trap, this was a sting operation your under arrest for treason
because, managed democracy...
Agreed soldier
I know what OP is saying. Makes a good point. The United Kingdom did this spreading “values” and “order” in the 19th century and the US in the 20th.
Now theres a game to hint on imperialism! Helldivers 2 is a dope game, but read between the lines. They are using us as sheep.
Hm
:0
insert ones and zeroes noises
Is that live feed?
Greating democracy am I in trouble?
Because you- I mean WE are NOT the good guys. We are evil and eat robot children and kill butterflies for fun! If you don't like that, you can defect to our- I MEAN the automatons side! Glory for Cyber- I mean super earth!
Are we sure this guy isn’t a bot?
No I am 100% made of human and I enjoy normal human activities like eating [Berg0r] and [$al@d] as well as taking my [d0me$ti€at£d mamaL¿] to the [p?rk]. I [removed for anti revolutionary speech] and appreciate my [I??ivi?u?lit?]. Please do not accuse me of such offensive things, fellow citizen.
Because we are the humans and they are aliens that will not stop until we are destroyed. Any logic that makes us the bad guys in this game is bad logic.
Remain at your current location, we will send a Democracy Officer to speak with you about these concerns loyal citizen.
Ok sir should I order pizza while I wait?
There will be plenty of pizza at the freedom camp.
Even if we are, They're worse.
Yeah
Nice try I canceled the call
Our theme song
Hmmm yes
It's alright buddy, everyone gets a little tired sometimes. Maybe a nice vacation to democracy camp will help get you into shape!
Thanks my man
Sure thing Helldiver!
If ypu dont feel it in your heart, you are a traitor. The ministry of truth has been noted!
No!!!!!! I’m not a traitor-
Then stop questioning and commence your orders, soldier! In the name of democracy!
We know we aren't the bad guys because the winner of every war is always the good guys.
Mostly
because we’re on 1 plannet. and defending the planets that are moving in on us. if home base was just a ship. and we had no tie to a planet like super earth maybe
Reported.
Plez nO…
Uhhhh
The automatons are children of a cyborg faction from the first that deemed human kind as not necessary and in the way. When they tried to eradicate we responded and defended super earth. I also think the illuminate had a hand in that. I may be wrong on my lore but. As a diver that question really isn’t becoming of a skull admiral. Spill oil!
There really isn't a good or bad side to any of it. The "good side" in war is whatever your side is. Super Earth started most of it though. Idk about the automatons because they're supposedly not related to the cyborgs but we started the cyborg war in the 1st game so who knows
Now that is good wisdom
The bugs weren't attacking us. They were attacking the TCS towers....
To your enemy, you are the bad guy. Whether we're bad or not doesn't matter. Theyre the enemy, and we're the Helldivers, so they get stomped, and we wave flags and spread democracy
Yup spread democracy
Reported.
But why what did I specifically say to be reported to super earth?
Winners write history thats why we aren't the bad ones, we are going to win
Yup and look good while doing it
This post makes me sick, you should end your blood line today. You are not a soldier!!!
I hear treason. I’m calling the democratic officer.
No no why not sit down and discuss this with liber-tea
Sorry but I hear treason eagle 500kg bomb
Up down left right right up left down
everyone says we are the bad guys cause we killed them all off and enslaved the survivors but conveniently leave out the parts that the cyborgs committed terrible acts of terrorism against super earths citizens when they declared that machine is better than flesh, the illuminate had literal WMDs capable of destroying whole planets and the Terminids are sentient bugs that colonize without a care in the world that they are slaughtering innocent civilians in the process.
but i mean we did what any smart civilization would do, we fought back and WON.
we are only the "bad guys" cause we won. Now everything is returning to wipe us out once more and we cannot sit by and let these horrible civilizations have their way with humanity. The Automatons wont stop untill they've destroyed humanity and freed their creators. The Terminids wont stop until they've colonized every world and the illuminate wont stop until They conquer the galaxy.
Super Earth and the Hell Divers are the ONLY option to saving Humanity and if our enemies want to play dirty, so can we.
Agreed
Traitor
No you are a traitor!
We must purge this treachery before it spreads through our ranks
Agreed! Wait we aren’t talking about me are we?
👀
“Skepticism is treason. Treason is bad”
Do you hear treason? Because I hear treason. Pumps shotgun
Umm no it’s not treason “ slowly reaches for flame thrower “
You guys are the bad guys
We don’t
Secular Humanists (such as Robert Heinlein) will tell you that anything that promotes your nation is moral, while anything antagonistic to the prosperity of your nation he would call immoral.
Heinlein would not support genocide nor unprovoked expansionism, but at the same time, if provoked, his position would support a nation taking over a hostile neighbor for the purpose of furthering the prosperity of the peoples who would then make up the expanded borders of said nation (for example, how America acquired Florida.)
If you accept his general premise as it related to this fictional world, than the hostility of the automatons combined with the securing of prosperity for Super Earth makes the fighting moral.
(As a fictional framework, I find his position interesting; and like all frameworks, I suspect even he would argue against a black&white application of it to real world events.)
squints and loads shotgun
Also as an enjoyer of the game we are the badguys. Like the reason so many poeple love Helldivers is likely the same reason why so many people like playing as a storm trooper.
Its just fun to be bad
Too true
Ten lashes, then straight to re-education for you, Cadet.
At least it’s not 2015 this time
I'm a fair officer. That's ten lashes and re-education for anyone who up voted.
Dear god
We aren’t because they’re not going to stop, and they’re not distinguishing between Helldivers (aka their enemy combatants) and civilians. Take a look at a few of their medium outposts and they put heads on pikes, mutilate bodies, and appear to convert victims into bots. Sometimes I don’t think that’s oil spraying from them, but coagulated blood from what’s left of the poor person encased in metal.
Only good bot is a dead bot, and they have not proven to be peaceful by any means.
