I just saw a person in a suit, then read the "mansplaining" comment, then went back and saw the posters name.

It feels so forced or I am just oblivious. I thought the response was an asshole being an "acktuallllllly" response.

I'm old. vCOD, UO, and CoD2 were my shit. Cod4 was the transition, but still good. Blackops lost the theme and killed any competitive scene opportunities for the game, and as you said, it's been Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v ever since, yet also worse every time.

Mercenaries. We have a term for this already and it's Mercenary. Not a private contractor for a security company. Mercenary.

Serious question, what would you do if you were in America? Call your buddies and organize a march? Start offing people by yourself? Stand on a street corner with a sign? Donate money to a contradicting politician?

This game plan is enacted by design, it's what makes fascist regime takeovers work, what makes it difficult to organize and resist. You have a husband, kids, a mortgage, a job, car payments, need to put food on the table.
