You people are fucking losers.
Besides this ludicrously bad attempt at propaganda, let’s look at what’s being said here. Having been a Halo fan for the majority of my life, I think I can speak on this a bit.
“Fight the Flood” is referring to the alien parasite, the Flood, that is a central, potentially galaxy ending, parasitic threat in the mainline Halo games up to Halo 3.
The Flood are a species of parasite that take over a life forms body, violently, and then spread rapidly as to control all of the life on any given planet. That’s right folks, to ICE, DHS, & the WH, your neighbors, workers, and friends are equivalent to drooling, slimy, world ending, violent parasites whose only goal in consumption.
Of course that means that ICE, and they hope you, are the Master Chief. Here to stop the Flood outbreak before it consumes us all.
Holy Goebbels Batman, this is some fucked shit.
The whole thing is ironic too as the majority of the Halo series focuses on fighting the Covenant, a radical, religious, hegemony that brands those who don’t fall in line as heretics. Those heretics are, of course, killed or otherwise made state martyrs through suicide missions.
If we’re going to make comparisons with religious nationalism, then I can’t actually think of a better example in my country than the current administration. But instead of starships capable of planetary glassing and energy shielded warriors, we have some fuckass losers in vests whose only success in life is to bully, terrorize, and attack their fellow countrymen.
Anyway. Here’s Don’s post this morning.
This is your HW assignment. See if you can tell, based on my above reading, what the image of Donny as Master Cheeks may imply given the viewpoint of immigrants as The Flood. +10 bonus points towards this week’s assignment.
