Does anyone know any good games where you kill fascist CIA and US army scum? Ideally as a Marxist-Leninist freedom fighter or as a soldier of a socialist country. Otherwise, games where you fight US puppets like Israel as say a Palestinian freedom fighter are also more than welcome.
It's a text based game from early 2000s, but liberal crime squad is one of my favs and made by bay12games (dwarf fortress). It's operating on several layers of irony but you get to take on cops, soldiers, middle managers, CEOs and kidnap justices and even visit the president. On the highest difficulty you start is a nearly fully fascist America and need to prevent conservative laws being passed via adventurism. Naturally you win when the people the conservatism away
Welcome to Liberal Crime Squad! The Conservatives have taken the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government. Over time, the Liberal laws of this nation will erode and turn the country into a BACKWOODS YET CORPORATE NIGHTMARE. To prevent this from happening, the Liberal Crime Squad was established. The mood of the country is shifting, and we need to turn things around. Go out on the streets and indoctrinate Conservative automatons. That is, let them see their True Liberal Nature. Then arm them and send them forth to Stop Evil. Eventually the public will fall behind us, and we will put more Elite Liberals in government for greater justice.
Spec ops: The Line, though you do also kill civilians sadly, but you kill a bunch of Operators (TM).
Sniper Elite 4 has a skin where you can be an italian partisan woman. Then it's just slo-mo shots of nazi skulls being crushed.
Empire: Total War has the american revolution, which you can handliy crush.
Battlefield 1942 has a nazi campaign, though uhhh, you'd be playing as the nazis so.
Prototype was a sort of spider-man like game, but you could just go murder the army.
The new Wolfenstein games take place in the US.
Modern Warfare 2 has you killing loads of americans.
Red Orchestra 2 is about killing americans I believe.
If you're into strategy games then Command and Conquer.
Red Orchestra 2 is about killing americans I believe.
Red Orchestra 2 is about the Great Patriotic War, where you can play as the Red Army against the Wehrmacht. You are probably thinking about Rising Storm 2, from the same publisher, where you can play as North Vietnam against the US invaders.
I know, I also recommended a game that lets them fight as the nazis - I was just trying to answer their question on games that allowed you to fight americans.
Empire: Total war is rigged weirdly though, so any revolution in the americas will be the USA.
Played as the Iroquis and got it once.
Payday 2. Do all of the heists that don't have a "break stealth and instafail" stipulation as loud as possible, with either Razormind or I Will Give You My All 2017 as the heist BGM, and mulch as many pigs as you can. Yeah, they're cops rather than full-on military; but they DO pull up with enough special units to make one question if the police and the military in PD2 are just fused together.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus and Fursan al-Aqsa. There's also Soldier of Fortune: Platinum Edition, while you do play as a PMC chud, you do get to fill up the morgues of NYC with neo-Nazis in two chapters with two Boers as the main villains. Also from the word go, you do at least get to remove a Nazi's face with a SPAS-12 at point-blank.
And sometimes even Minecraft when some kid builds a definetely not a swastika next to the Ukrainian flag in their base, so you spawncamp them and steal all their diamonds.
Spec Ops: The Line is probably the first example that comes to mind.
They get a bad rap because of the sometimes fascist leaning fanbase, but paradox grand strategy games do let you play whatever side you want. Everytime I tried Hearts of Iron (admittedly my least favourite paradox game), I played as the USSR.
Some of the Metal Gear games, though that's still "the good americans vs the corrupt government" which isn't really ideal either.
Yakuza 3 features CIA as one of the villain factions.
interestingly, Yakuza 3 is also the "wokest" yakuza game in the franchise lol
a part of the main storyline deals with racism, with one of the girls (that kiryu adopted) outright saying she couldn't like this boy (also adopted by kiryu) because he's black, and in typical yakuza fashion, she'd later see the error of her ways.
a substory that essentially boils down to kiryu saying trans rights, though then again rgg studios also included a transphobic quest; but it's since been removed in the re-release. also i heard rumors that it was exclusive to the western release - the original japanese release apparently didn't have it lmao
all this in a game released in 2009. imagine that lmao. if you put any of this in recent games chuddies would hue and cry about "forced diversity and wokeist propaganda being shoved down their throats"
Has a really good mood (RevDCM) that makes the game more dynamic by introducing civil wars, revolutions and the ability of new civilizations to organize out of "barbarians."
Similar mods for other civs always feel less full featured.
Mechanically, I also came to dislike some stuff in later civ games, or at least some stuff "lost it's shine". Like 1 unit per tile.
If you only want to play vanilla or some light workshop mods i prefer Civ 6, communism is OP there and there are some decent USSR mods on steam
if you're into total conversions, nothing can beat Civ 4, some of the mods are incredible, my favourite is the Dune mod which is actually the best Dune game ever made.
Also nostalgia, Civ 4 is the last one with squares and not hexes and the classic looks of map and interface.
It doesn't really focus on killing enemies, but you can build communism somewhere in the world and squash the imperial ambitions of the US while also pushing the empires into decline.
Play as Britain, stop the US from expanding West while slowly guiding the UK towards a proletarian revolution.
hopefully it continues to be and they don't wuss out with the amount of fascists/reich-wingers that have started coming out
the amount of people who screeched at wolf2 being "woke" and flirting with communism (despite BJ, who comes off as a liberal to me, outright admonishing the commies in wolf2 for being against usania and not joining in "their fight" against the nazis during ww2... lmfao)
But didn't the game at one point was like "rAiDEn baD because these cops have a family" or am I misremembering? I haven't played this game in at least 6 years.
It does. Its accompanied by the worst segment of gameplay as he has something resembling a panic attack. At least at the end he decides violence is in fact necessary.
rising storm 2 lets you play in multiplayer matches as the people's army of vietnam/national liberation front fighting against american imperialist invaders. you can use traps on them, blow their helicopters out of the sky, etc.
guy doesn't support LGBT **as a muslim**, insinuating that being muslim must mean you have to be anti-LGBT; also has called LGBT a "lifestyle" he doesn't want democracy (hopefully by that he means western bougie democracy, ugh); wants sharia and an islamic caliphate thinks "islamic" monarchies are better than western style democracy (even though both are bad)
lmfao, reminds me of people going "capitalism may be ruining and destroying our lives but it's still a good, working ideology"
more anti-lgbt nonsense, about how gay things are admonished by ALL religions in the world and is somehow against muh human natoor (living in concrete, eating modern food, playing video games+making them is also against human natoor, you dipshit), using reich-wing language like "pro-LGBT propaganda", implying LGBT is le western culture even though historically every place in the world had their own unique queer culture that the western world has violently destroyed because "it's against human natoor and a crime committed against nature"
though tbf even i felt the pro-lgbt message in qatar felt a bit forced
this guy is anything but a comrade imo, especially with him expressing his wishes for a religious caliphate with religious laws.
I’ll never understand the anti-gay argument that it’s against human nature. You can’t say other animals aren’t gay, Sea Lions and Giraffes and Bonobos have plenty of gay sex, Rams too, why is the line drawn at humans? Like it goes beyond HUMAN nature, it’s literally just nature
A reasonable objection. Many Muslims have associated LGBT and women's rights with US meddling and influence, so they resolutely refuse to consider them.
I think a lot of this stems from the US history of screwing with Iran. Iran was somewhat open to women's rights before the US couped their government in 1953 when their prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh tried to nationalize oil.
Under US puppet rule, Iran did implement some socially progressive policies.
After the Iranians revolted and took back control in 1979, they massively overcompensated and became extremely socially reactionary. Because of Iran's significant influence in Islam, these views also propagated across many Muslims in the world.
Since Iran has been constantly under attack from the US, they haven't really had any space to reconsider this view. I do think that once Israel is destroyed, and once the West loses its iron grip on the world, that Muslims and Iran will be able to reconsider their views.
I don't disagree that individual Muslims can be gay or be down with LGBT rights, and obvs I'm down for Islam as a historically changing, concretely existing religion to become more positive towards LGBT peeps as well but imo it aint gonna happen.
The Qur'an and the Hadith are explicitly not down for LGBT activity.
And ˹remember˺ when Lot scolded ˹the men of˺ his people, ˹saying,˺ “Do you commit a shameful deed that no man has ever done before? You lust after men instead of women! You are certainly transgressors.” But his people’s only response was to say, “Expel them from your land! They are a people who wish to remain chaste!” So We saved him and his family except his wife, who was one of the doomed. We poured upon them a rain ˹of brimstone˺. See what was the end of the wicked!
— Surah Al-A'raf 7:80-84
From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, the Prophet states that: "If a woman comes upon a woman, they are both adulteresses, if a man comes upon a man, then they are both adulterers."
— Al-Tabarani in al-Mu‘jam al-Awat: 4157, Al-Bayhaqi, Su‘ab al-Iman: 5075
And I could go on. The only people who think that Mohammad never explicitly forbade LGBT relationships as such are modern Western liberals scholars, as far as I'm aware. I'm not aware of any in the Islamic world over most of its history who have tried to claim that, though I'm happy to be proved wrong. But honestly this just seems like such a weird and unconvincing technicality.
Rising storm Vietnam might be what you're referring to.
The only shooter I really played as an adult anyway. The chat there is noxious to a whole different level.
Once there was a guy in their bragging he was more of a fan of the iron brigade, so Nazi the Nazis didn't like him.
I used to do that; but it gets REALLY old shuffling server-after-server-after-server-after-server to find one server where T-side isn't full up; then you get into the match to hear some hard-r'ing kyle hotmic for 20 minutes.
Cold Waters, if you're into submarine game. The base game itself is centered around commanding US nuclear submarine, and thus feature only US campaigns. However, several mods exist that let players use Soviet submarine and take part in a Soviet campaign against US, so you could have fun blasting entire US carrier battlegroup with a 949 "Granit" SSGN.
If you're into milsim games, there is Project Reality (completely free) that lets you fight as Palestinians against Israel for instance. There are a lot of other maps and scenarios based on actual or probable conflicts as well where you can play as insurgents or China or Russian Federation for example.
