It's not actually necessary if you use a lot of it, but yes, a lot of people do in America. It got caught up in some health scare or another and people said "it's dairy, right?"
Turkey has halted all trade with Israel, citing the “worsening humanitarian tragedy” in the Palestinian territories, which prompted strong criticism from the Israeli foreign minister....
It's been a while but I don't recall him even ordering a mass execution of "Darkfriends," much less a genocide. Even at his most paranoid he deals with people on an individual level.
Oh, there's definitely a ton of communist propaganda, did you block .ml?
Do you consider anarchism/democratic socialism to not be communist at a certain level, ie, consider "communist" thought only to include authoritarian Marxism?
I mean, it's just literally what they call themselves. Sure, they lie or don't know what the fuck they're talking about, but that's kind of their whole deal.
Describe what you consider the "third way" that isn't capitalists owning the means of production, workers owning the means, or the state owning the means.
Mr House is the reality of anarchocapitalism. The corporate owners become a government, and the freedom they allow extends only when it is convenient for them, and their quest to sit on a larger and larger pile of money.
As you go deeper and deeper, you find out that perhaps that goal has other purposes, but those purposes turn out to be as insane as the people they claim to be against most of the time.
House's endgoal was actually to build a rocket and leave Earth, btw. Fallout fans might recognize this goal as being the same as Vault Tec's, aka the Enclave's, aka the prewar American government and oligarchy.
Which House was a part of, as the owner of RobCo.
Don't pay attention to how he shortened Robot, btw. That was just a convenient way to name it, and has no deeper meaning.
The NCR is a direct metaphor for Westward Expansion era America, complete with democratic ideals and a reality of rampant corruption, conquest of territory and the genocide of the natives, and a brewing slavery/"sharecropping" crisis. They even have a belief equivalent to Manifest Destiny, as they consider themselves the rightful inheritors of America, sea to shining sea.
The only question is whether that means the Legion is their metaphorical Confederacy, if their Slaveholder Rebellion is coming, or if maybe it's silly to take the metaphor any deeper.
The issue is that they didn't have FTL and House was literally delusional lol (like Howard Hughes)
That or he was planning on hitching a ride with the Zetans, but that's a deep deep lore dive that includes a lot of the phrase "according to datamined files" or "in this deleted content"
The actual Vault Tec program was designed to learn how to make a slow-drive generation ship and survive the trip, but there's no indications he was gathering Vault data or actually making something on that scale.
On the other hand, it's entirely possible he didn't look for the data because it was sent directly to him.

I don't know if this is something people say in other countries, but in my country, there's this common cliché or "wisdom" where adults will assure you that the people who picked on you in environments like school will universally develop lives of hardship later on, one way or another getting into mayhem....
It's estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area....
It's got a lot more history than that, but yeah, it's important to remember that all fascist thought is ultimately based on fear, feelings of insecurity, and projection.
