A couple of quips...

Lucio is K’Naan

Hammond is a radical animal activist.

all the robots are post modernists who exclusively read Donna Haraway and east Asian philosophy.

Tracer is definitely a liberal like Winston.

Reaper is the missing radical centrist.

zen's a political quietist, focusing his efforts on individual, rather than collective, advancement
dva's a nationalist

It's about time.
Here's a potential explanation.

quote:

German photojournalists of the early 20th century would frequently stage their photographs (sometimes for propaganda purposes). In their eyes it wasn’t that they were faking, it was just that they wanted to tell a true story in the most visually compelling way.

quote:

The SSNA is the result of many months of hard work and many years of hopeful emulation. In London, in 1991, the Stalin Society-UK was formed as an organization whose stated goal was to refute anti- communist and anti-Stalin libels and slanders through rigorous scholarly research and vigorous debate. Over the years, the Stalin Society-UK has contributed a number of very influential and well-received articles dealing with the Stalin Period of Soviet history, and has conducted and sponsored numerous education events, forums, and symposia. The success of the Stalin Society in Britain made many of us on this side of the Atlantic wish that we had a similar organization on these shores.
