I don’t know man, the gnomish conspiracy still wigs me out. The fact that they made antisemitism correct in this game is a choice.

The protocols of the elders of zion are literally true except worse in the game. It’s by no means equal. The gnomes are fully in a conspiracy that fully runs the industrialized world, and to maintain their power they engage in stuff that is right out of an antisemitic pamphlet.

The elves are not a stand in for an ethnic group for which they inhabit all the worst stereotypes. The closest is a read of the orcs as stand ins for exploited ethnic groups under capitalism and colonialism, which given the orcish depiction as stupid but strong is itself racist. But at least the Orcs aren’t universally evil.

The free Drones are explicitly socialist and also explicitly opposed to and by the hive. Which has its own implications.

They’re a big nosed race that run the banks and the government secretly who funds revolution to get rid of the traditional order that threatened them, they subvert other races specifically using lesser races to threaten the otherwise dominant racial group. They’re all, universally, in on it, it’s all planned, it’s all a big conspiracy those who find out are silenced and made to look like fools, those who oppose them are clandestinely gotten rid of.

All of that is 100% canon, it’s in the game, it’s not an interpretation. It’s just there. The most openly antisemitic shit I’ve seen. Now you can say its satire, and I would tend to agree, but I also think the fact that it isn’t even played as a little bit funny sort of undermines that.

That… is nonsense? The surgery part of my local hospital has like three gardens that the patients freely use and nurses sometimes pass through for a shortcut. Unless you’re specifically opposed to plants in the hallways. Which the hospital also has, there’s potted plants all over.

Hospitals are that drab partly as cost cutting not put of pure patient concern.

It was signed into law in 2019.

The National POW/MIA Flag Act ensures that the POW/MIA Flag is displayed whenever the U.S. flag is displayed at certain locations. Those locations include the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, every national cemetery, the buildings containing the official offices of the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, the office of the Director of the Selective Service System, each major military installation (as designated by the Secretary of Defense), each Department of Veterans Affairs medical center, clinics and Veterans Benefits Administration offices and each United States Postal Service post office
