This is a joke right? Okay so let's say in this hypothetical Eric Nylund falls into this content farm of CIA anti communism by pushing American individuality and materialism (it doesn't).
Then why are the ideals of the book exactly opposite of what's described in your article?
Halo's biggest characteristic especially in The Fall of Reach is fuck your individuality; you work as a team , no matter what. You are not special , you do your job.It's literally the first lesson John learns at 6 years old and the entire point of the Spartan program / book. The materialism aspect in Fall of Reach is made clear by John's mentor Mendez teaching him to trust his instincts because "Machines break , eyes dont" . The Spartans living an egalitarian, simple life where they all exist in the same armor and are virtually unidentifiable between them to outsiders only strays further from both the individualism and materialism.
I'm more than a little disappointed you even bring this argument to me.

Okay , atleast I understand you have some understanding of the universe , happy to talk about it. You can absolutely make that argument and I agree. However, mentioning terrorism without mentioning the terrorist acts the Inserrectionists themselves has caused is disingenuous. In 2511 they killed more than 2 million alone with a nuclear device at Arcology. The information is still scarce about their size, inner working of their multiple hierchies , logistics. It's also wildly naive to assume that the prevailing Inserrectionist government that forms wouldn't end up repeating the exact same patterns of the UNSC itself, further colonizing for additional resources, etc.
Are you trying to say Halo the actual franchise itself is CIA propaganda? That's truly lazy shit at this point. You truly think the CIA is special? It's as applicable to the KGB , SVR , Mossad, Ministry of Security, British Intelligence, any clandestine agency. They're all running / have run similar operations.

Are you unintentionally coming off like an uninformed asshole or am I dealing with actual mental illness? I don't know what is being argued or why. I made a reference/ joke about the Halo Universe and you're trying to make this lazy, fucking freshmen philosophy major argument about politics, for reasons...

I don't see Halo the Fall of Reach on that shelf, rookie mistake. Looks good though.

Used to love this quote, but my God it has created and justified a lot of dumb people believing they're intelligent when in reality they're fuck ups who didn't graduate highschool , didn't go to college , etc. It's very much in the same vein of that fake Elon quote.

More pseudo feel good bullshit. If you're old enough to already read this and be on Reddit, I am sorry , but a not insignificant part of your life is already over and is never coming back.
I hope you enjoy the time you have
