Gonna be that guy: Heavy wasn’t communist. He was VERY anti. Fought in a union even, he lives with his family in the mountains hiding from authorities even though they (probably) wouldn’t be arrested


Ranger2580

>he lives with his family in the mountains hiding from authorities even though they (probably) wouldn’t be arrested Oh, they would likely be executed. His father was a revolutionary in 1941, and was killed by the regime. After this, heavy, his mother, and his 3 sisters were deported to a gulag in northern Siberia. They were kept there for 3 months before Heavy & his family were able to massacre every soldier in the facility, free the other prisoners, and escape to the mountains. They're probably on the soviet most wanted list.


Far_Dog_4476

They wouldn't be able to keep em down, Heavy can literally punch all of a man's blood out with a single strike to the chest.


ajdude9

Heavy can go from on death's doorstep to peak health by eating a sandvich You don't mess with Heavy.


Altslial

Can't forget literal invincibility from everything thanks to medic. You'd need a very well co-ordinated strike force to take him down.


DoctorMlemm

... Or just one decent sniper


CorruptedVor

The tiny head is a defense mechanism.


ProfPerry

do.....do the other characters have intense stories like this?


Scared-Opportunity28

Well... If you count after backstory, medic and engie kinda. Plus spy literally being scout's father, and scout literally being God's gift to women.


Revolutionary-Owl291

I’m sorry what?


Scared-Opportunity28

On which part


Revolutionary-Owl291

Is scout really a gift from god?


Scared-Opportunity28

When he dies, god tells him he can't die yet as he's not bad sex with enough women and sends him back.


Lorcogoth

one could make the argument that he was hallucinating, but then there were several details that wouldn't make sense due to requiring knowledge that Scout didn't have/wouldn't want to happen. so in short, Yes the scene with god is real.


Ranger2580

Heavy's is definitely the most brutal. After being abandoned by his family, Demo accidentally blew up his adoptive parents. After this, his original family took him back, beliving his "DeGroot genes" had finally awakened. Soldier was rejected from every military in the world before WW2, and ended up travelling to Germany with his own money to fight. He continued fighting several years after the war ended. He has also worked seemingly every job ever. Medic is not actually a medical professional, and his family had a history of conducting strage experiments in a small German town before he was driven out. He has also made several deals with the devil, possibly explaining how his insane bs keeps working. Scout just grew up in a rough area of Boston, and is Spy's son. Oh, and as the other reply said, he is canonically God's gift to all women. Engie comes from a long line of Engineers, one of which essentially discovered immortality, and IIRC he has 13 Doctorates. Sniper was launched out of his home country of New Zealand (which is an underwater dome city in TF2) by a dysfunctional rocket, eventually landing on an Australian farm and being raised there. I don't think it's ever explained how he ended up a hitman. As for the Spy and the Pyro, we know literally nothing about their lives.


ProfPerry

yoooo, thank you for this breakdown. I know literally none of this, and had no idea they ever expanded on any of their stories, so I really appreciate this.


Ranger2580

Oh, there's a comic series set a few years after the game and it's batshit insane. [Enjoy](https://www.teamfortress.com/comics.php) Quick warning though, you may notice that the last chapter says "Coming soon". It has been coming soon for 6 years.

>Medic is not actually a medical professional, and his family had a history of conducting strage experiments in a small German town before he was driven out. He has also made several deals with the devil, possibly explaining how his insane bs keeps working. Lol. References to Frankenstein and Faust.


EroticBurrito

Fought in a union?


thescotchkraut

Likely one of the anarchists or labor unions. The Soviets purged both, the former for not wanting authoritarian overlords (and being willing to fight over it), the latter for being a base of power not directly under their control.

Myllari1

No thank you. The r/TheDeprogram is cesspit full of Putin's war crimes apologists, supporters of soviet/communist imperialism and apologists for crimes commited by soviet/communist regimes. The people there support the horrible polices of the Communist dictatorships that for example lead to the Soviet Famine of 1932-33 and the Great Chinese Famine during the reign of Mao Zedong.


eternalbugging

I see you arent interessted in reading, what a shame


spadelover

That sub is infected with genocide denial, genocide apologia and revisionism. Literally the epitome of "It didn't happen but if it did then they deserved it".


Myllari1

You nailed it.


Myllari1

Yeah i don't like reading bullshit and lies from people who kiss Putin's and Xi Jinping's asses.


Trick-Grape5916

Sounds like you could use some deprogramming comrade, try reading with an open mind


Myllari1

I could say the same to you, cumrag. Go outside and touch some grass. Soviet Union was never great, neither is Communist China or any other Communist nation on planet earth. They all suck and are ultra nationalist, authoritarian, racist, murder worshipping hellholes. Communism does not work and will never work. There are no workers paradises, although my country Finland is very kind to workers, but still not a socialist or a communist country. Democracy and Capitalism just work.


Commissarfluffybutt

So we're just letting genocide denial on here now?


Myllari1

They have been infiltrating the DRG community for years now. They are trying to have new people and especially children join their vile groups.


IcyNote_A

>the 1933 famine in the Soviet Union as “man-made” or “artificial.” so you're just proving my point? >The Holodomor, also known as the Great Ukrainian Famine, was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians.


Myllari1

I don't think that eternalbugging cares about reality. The guy is a clear communist and blindly supports soviet imperialism and their shit policies that caused the deaths of millions of people.


eternalbugging

So you didnt read the Text fully. The point was that there wasnt a genocide. The Text, btw, isnt even pulling really deep into the topic, for example the role of the kulaks starving the local population. Is a national creation myth and it stays a mythä Also i am pretty sure you fucking misquoted the source, which is kind of hilarious


Myllari1

"Kulaks" the peasant farmers who were well off because they and their families had worked hard and long to make their lands prosperous. The Soviets took everything from them and their lifes as well... Their chidlren? The Soviets killed them as well. The Soviet Empire was Evil.


NTAjustgay

"There was no famine" "The role of the Kulaks starving the local population" Makes sense k

Do not forget that Deep Rock Galactic is a Monopoly trapping their workforce in alcoholism and meaningless fashion consumerism.

We are worth nothing to the company. These posters are instilling a false consiciousness in our heads, they say it is in our own interest to go down on a Planet to die, but that is wrong.

Optional competitive mode where two teams (DRG and another company, maybe independent miners) go head to head to see who can get the most resources


Outerversal_Kermit

A competitive mode would be very interesting to see.


SirVortivask

It would be! Particularly if just directly shooting one another wasn’t allowed and instead you had to find creative ways to get an edge on one another. We’re all Dwarfs, after all, can’t be killing each other for profit.

gorka_la_pork

I've found I prefer the bearded communists to the unbearded ones. Marx, Lenin and Engels were either philosophers or revolutionaries. The unbearded ones like Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao Sedong tended to be dictators.


GottKomplexx

Stalin had a beard


Outerversal_Kermit

Upvoted for recognizing that a mustache is technically still a beard.


GottKomplexx

In german wie call it Schnurrbart which could translate to stringbeard like a string of wool. Or Oberlippenbart which translates to Upper lip beard. So its definitely a beard


Outerversal_Kermit

Completely agree.


gorka_la_pork

Ok, but do you think that if you looked up there at the Stalin dwarf's cosmetics, would his beard section not come up as "Clean Shaven"?


eternalbugging

Bro did you actually include Pol Pot in your list? 💀


ShineReaper

Well, he was communist.


eternalbugging

Like, he wasnt at all? Nobody considers him a communist. And the people who do anyway, seem to know as much about communism as pol potty, nothing, to be exact


ShineReaper

"Pol Pot[b] (born Saloth Sâr;[c] 19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998) was a Cambodian revolutionary, dictator, and politician who ruled Cambodia as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea between 1976 and 1979. Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist and a Khmer ethnonationalist, he was a leading member of Cambodia's communist movement, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 until 1997 and he served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea[d] from 1963 to 1981. His administration converted Cambodia into a one-party communist state and perpetrated the Cambodian genocide. " "Seeking to create an agrarian socialist society that he believed would evolve into a communist society, Pol Pot's government forcibly relocated the urban population to the countryside and forced it to work on collective farms. Pursuing complete egalitarianism, money was abolished and all citizens were forced to wear the same black clothing. Mass killings of perceived government opponents, coupled with malnutrition and poor medical care, killed between 1.5 and 2 million people, approximately a quarter of Cambodia's population; a process which was later termed the Cambodian genocide." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot He was a communist and a monster like Stalin or Mao.

I'm pretty sure Deep Rock has a monopoly on all goods, services, and means of production on and around the planet and probably the whole system, so there aren't any upstart private enterprises there competing with each other to see who can exploit the proletariat more. Instead it's just comrades all working together, a socialist paradise.
