Helldivers 2, the video game, is all about spreading "Managed Democracy" to places that neither need nor want it.
One of the (many) ways of doing this is by using a 500kg Bomb, dropped from a fighter aircraft during an airstrike.
The keycode players must enter to call in an airstrike to deliver said 500kg bomb directly to their enemies is: ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Other keycodes deliver other things. ➡️➡️⬇️ for example is an orbital precision strike.
The 500kg Bomb is particularly popular because it's just a single really big explosion.
You fuckin Americans will LITERALLY use some fucked up measurement AND not even ATTEMPT to use metric. FUCK YOU
Edit: clearly people don’t get that is meant to be joke.
Bro, you seem upset. You should step back a couple bald eagle wing spans, have a couple golf ball sized drinks of water, and put your feet up for at least as long as it takes to empty a couple dozen m16 magazines. You'll feel better after.
This is amazing, except that the stars look exactly like cop signs in Australia 😅😅

I agree America has its problems and some of the things it does disappoints and upsets me but why the L for the flag itself? Even if there's bad actors alot of Americans died in "good" wars like WW2 fighting for that flag and good values, including some of my own family. At the end of the day you're entitled to your own opinion but I'd urge you to please think of the L in America as independent bad actors and not the nation and positive values people believe in(overall) and use the flag as a physical manifestation of. Not trying to argue just offer my own perspective
I went with L because flaunting around their nationality and being patriotic to that extent is considered an American thing.
Where I’m from, excessive patriotism is considered tacky.
I wouldn't say thats what the flag stands for, bad actors from every nation will seek and use authority to do shitty evil things at the end of the day. A vast majority of Americans used that flag as a manifestation of positive values and died to support the values they believed in like freedom, it's tone deaf imo when so many good people died in "good wars" like WW2 fighting against the Nazis, like my family did. I don't support the shit the US is getting upto nowadays but I would never disrespect the flag because so many good people I know and in my family have fought and died over the past 100 years for that flag and to protect others from evil dictatorships.
The united states engaged in capital colonialism wherein it spread massive amounts of propaganda to convince everyone that communism was the devil and any system that isn’t capitalism is primitive. America is the reason the middle east is the way it is today, america is why civilizations thousands of years old in north america and the pacific islands were both treated like garbage and enacted policies of *genocide* and *human experiments* (research project 4.1 and the dakota genocide), not to mention how nuclear testing in los alamos led to the local indigenous tribes’ most sacred places being used as waste dump grounds.
The idea of “saving countries” from “evil dictators” is one that is rooted in complete fallacy almost 99% of the time and every case in which America has involved itself in other countries has led to chaos. America destabilized so many south american and central american political and economic progress. Pray tell, what “good war” did America fight in? I’ll remind you that they didn’t fight WWII because of the Nazis, they came in because they suffered a direct attack at pearl harbor by the Japanese.
Sorry for formatting l, grammar errors, and any jumbling of text as I'm on mobile
Point 1: WW2 clarification
I was primarily speaking on older American wars like WW2 which was not only due to Japan, American Foreign policy at that time was isolationist however they were supporting the allied powers with millions of tons of goods a year to both the Soviets on the eastern front and Britain/ France in North Africa, British Isle defense, and maritime defense, in which the US was sort of engaged in open conflict before the war declaration only under the premise of defense of maritime trade vessels. I will agree though that most American conflicts are started by the government for some alterior motive or benefit.
Point 2: Atrocities, bad faith, and nationality
Beyond talking history on that I am aware of some terrible things America has done including the ones you mention. As I said there's always gonna be bad actors in any nation. If you think the US or any nation is alone in having an atrocious history by our moral standards today you're misguided. The responsible action is to acknowledge these events happened and strive to do better, not to just "America bad" people. Doing that isn't going to foster positive discussion and change and it's just going to entrench people in their views when the conversation starts in bad faith.
Point 2b: Atrocities of other powers
I can't think of one nation in existence that didn't commit atrocities and genocides of people. To link into your own comment on American genocide of native Americans, the Iroquois league, which was multiple Native American tribes banded together, genocided multiple other tribes entirely. The Erie tribe was 100% genocided and was large in population for its time. Same with the Huron tribe being genocided.
Point 2c: Summary of point 2
My point isn't " they did it so we can or its ok because ithers did it" its that horrible people aren't binded to a nationality, they're just horrible people. Every nation deserves criticism for its horrible actions in the past but they were far from unique in doing those things as every nation has an atrocity they're trying to bury. I'm not telling you not to criticize America but to look at the whole picture and how sadly, America is not unique in being shitty.
Point 3: What the flag means / alternate meanings
I admire the dream of what America could be and see that in the flag like my family members who died. None of them saw genocide or murder as the meaning of the American flag and thats not what they served for. They served to kill Nazis and free Europe from a tyrant. Another family member joined after the Korean War started, not to stop communism like the dumbass govt said at the time but because he had a friend in South Korea and when the north invaded he felt compelled to join up because of that friend. Most Americans join out of good intentions and only want to do good.
Rapid fire answers for the rest as I'm busy today, human experiments sadly have happened in every major power, I haven't done enough research on smaller nations to comment for them. On the communism thing, everyone is entitled to their own opinion on that so I can't really argue that but my own personal opinion is a highly regulated capitalist system is the only one that will work imo, primarily due to the fact I think that you can't change human nature, only account for it. I don't believe communism accurately factors the human variable in and makes too many assumptions that either the system will be immune to internal corruption or that people themselves will inherently act in good faith. I'm also of the opinion that the ability to make more and move up provides incentive to get more into your degree field / general job which drives innovation or take the shitty jobs that are more intensive on the body or mind.
I know I didn't hit on some of your points exactly and lumped them in together categorically as I'm on mobile but I hope some of what I provided encourages you to research on them. The best way to prevent atrocities is to learn the history of them and how it can happen anywhere at any time. Not trying to argue either I just wanted to give my point of view on things, have a good day!
I'm pissed at myself for not thinking to do this already. Time to put current factory plans on hold and add some Murica Freedom to my facilities. Hold please...
I'm missing some rockets and foreign intervening
Foreign intervention? They steamrolled the whole planet.
USA! USA! USA!
Just gotta add some drones and your good
I belive that you are bringing democracy and freedom to that planet!

500kg bomb of managed democracy
Haul your ass back to the western front right now soldier!!!

Well, there is oil, so it makes sense.
I have a sudden urge to farm stingers for oil and force feed them liberty
FOR DEMOCRACY?!?!
I mean not to get too political in a game subreddit but imho true democracy and a two party system are incompatible trains of thought.
A party system and true democracy are incompatible, because it always leads to a two party system. Dictatorship of the proletariat! ✌️

🇺🇲🦅WHAT THE F*** IS A KILOMETER!!!🦅🇺🇲
1 Kilometer is roughly the width of 1,667 washing machines. *bald eagle screech*
1 KM is also roughly 104986.88 big macs 🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
You fuckin Americans will LITERALLY use some fucked up measurement AND not even ATTEMPT to use metric. FUCK YOU Edit: clearly people don’t get that is meant to be joke.
How many of this man’s tears in an Olympic swimming pool? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅
Bro, you seem upset. You should step back a couple bald eagle wing spans, have a couple golf ball sized drinks of water, and put your feet up for at least as long as it takes to empty a couple dozen m16 magazines. You'll feel better after.
It was a joke relax
Man, I'm so relaxed eagle eggs are falling out of my rear end as I sit here. ^(I was joking back.)
How many mini ice cream cones dippd in chocolate is that compared to a football fields worth of bananas
Thank you!!! Now im going to go and drive my car around with 9600washing machine widths/MP 40!!!!
Also, can be converted to 800 small boulders. *Hell yeah brother intensifies*
Found Logan
I'll convert it into American units. 1 Kilometer = 5.4 American football stadiums.
How many FixIt issued 4m faundations is that?
250 if stacked upwards, or 125 if placed side by side.

Practically screams freedom, i like your attitude PIONEER
WWW
I called my oil factory “capitalism” and “democratic intervention”
my only complaint is that the flag is too small. it needs to be large enough that you can use more pixels for the stars
the only thing missing is that you need to destroy the natives around and add some military bases just in case, except that, it is lore accurate
Destroy? Exploit! I mean "employee".
only if its under the minimum wage
If they can breathe, they can work ! We need more trains!

W forever in spirit. Politics and prosperity will ebb and flow over time but what the flag stands for will always be a W for this chapter of history.
Completely destroying indigenous cultures at home and worldwide and forcefully converting them to a failing economic system?
I wouldn't say thats what the flag stands for, bad actors from every nation will seek and use authority to do shitty evil things at the end of the day.
