    I’ve been a fan of Halo since CE, so many memories and custom games, I got legendary editions and autographs from chief and cortanas va’s, in no way are the white house’ shit posts diminishing all of that, after all this is just the churned SLOP of some intern. I sure as shit won’t be buying anything Halo or XBOX, spineless corporation…I saw this one post DHS about Destroying the Flood??

    The DHS equating people being arrest &OR deported to fighting the flood was surreal. I had to do a double take.

      Man. I’m sorry you are experiencing reality. But like, maybe you should be aware of what is happening?

      The fact that you are more mad about reading an article from PC gamer than that hundreds of thousands of people are being abducted says a lot about you.

        Some of us used to care and the endless exhaustion is too much. I simply am a person trying to exist, and I only continue to shrink how much bullshit I consume more and more and more since it infects everything.

        Not wanting to see horrible shit constantly doesnt equate to not caring.

        Get fucked.

          Dont worry. I’m getting fucked hard. By my government that hates me and by people like you who think they don’t need to even be informed of current events.

          The apathy and inaction from you and your ilk is fucking me hard, and has killed many.

      Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they’ve said.

      You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.

      Come to think of it, the Covenant have a lot in common with American brand millennial Evangelists. Leaning really hard on immanentising the eschaton.

        I don’t think so. It’s unlikely, but not implausible. I don’t think ICE have a list of “don’t arrest” people, and not everyone knows what every CEO looks like. They might run into him randomly and just act on it.

        I don’t think Satya Nadal is going out in public like regular people, but it could still happen.

    Microsoft declines to comment

    More like ‘Microsoft approves of this imagery’

    Silence is consent, be it from approval or cowardice, the outcome is the same.

      I understand your outrage but silence is not consent. It is fear. Apply that phrase to any other situation where consent is required and that would be considered victim blaming.

      Now M$ COULD be fine with this, we truly don’t know, but they could also be afraid of how the administration would retaliate against them if they spoke up. I do agree with you when you say these companies are cowardly.

        Lol, they willingly work with this fascist regime and others around the globe. Their silence is implicit consent, because a multi billion dollar company doesn’t get to cry fear in the face of the governments they willingly work with.

        Stop defending corpos, they’ll gladly sell you to the government and tell your family they’re suuuuuper sorry you got nabbed but there’s nothing they can do.

          They provided some insight to why they think MS didn’t comment. Then agreed with you. I don’t think they were defending MS.

    Confused, it was a reply to celebrating Halo on PS5, where does the ‘destroy immigration’ part come in?

      Several hours after the White House post, the Department of Homeland Security put up its own Halo image with the message “Destroy the Flood,” and a link to the ICE recruitment page.

      Comparing immigrants in the US to a parasitic alien life form that infects and annihilates advanced societies is not deeply offensive, it’s also rooted in the worst of human history: As seen in the untermenschen of the Holocaust and “cockroaches” in Rwanda, to name a couple recent examples, dehumanizing the “other” so you can more easily inflict cruelty, injustice, and horrors upon them is hardly a new technique, and the US government’s messaging was not subtle.
