In classic totalitarian fashion, the Legion is misogynistic by law, prohibiting women from serving in the army and reducing them to a commodity, less than human. All homosexuality is outlawed in the Legion. Fascism is always scared of women and gays, and with good reason. Totalitarianism constructs masculinity as being willing to die for country and very little else. Power matters. There's a utility for fascism in constructing the feminine as weak because that's handy as a diagonal opposite, although, there's a lot more to it than that. Put in the simplest possible terms, the fear of women and homosexuality by authoritarian movements exists because nothing erodes devotion to the state like devotion to another individual. There is nothing more individualistic than love. Love pulls the soldier away from the unit, it disconnects them from their nationalistic obligation, it makes them not want to die so much anymore. It makes them want to live instead. But outlawing homosexuality on top of dehumanizing women, the state criminalizes any opportunity to find love outside the cisgendered binary. And the suffering of the self-repression caused by the Legion's subjects having to closet themselves for survival strengthens what Theodor Adorno called, "the death drive" through spreading despair. Totalitarianism only works if it can keep people lonely and fearful on a pretty much permanent basis. Caesar's Legions is a parody of this push and pull between the fascist death drive and the suffering in fascism's wake, a self-reinforcing wheel of agony and pain that cannot be stopped if it can just keep rolling. At the Hoover Dam though, that wheel has slowed to a stop. Now the situation is volatile, fragile, the fledgling nation a powder keg just waiting for a match. So what we have is satire, wherein the worst dressed army in the Mojave is also the most dangerous and cruel. And that is precisely the joke. Autocrats and fascists never seem to understand how goddamn stupid they look to everybody else.

Getting licked by a bee is strange and adorable

Tantalizing to think we might be getting deeper insight into The Six, but especially the deposed ones though there's a chance that's Grenth and not Dhuum
