Yeah, I get the vibe it's absolutely meant to be people going through the motions of suburban life as the world is visibly fraying around them, nuclear war is treated as a given inevitability, they're surrounded by increasingly shrill and aggressive jingo and basic necessities are getting more and more out of reach while fancy toys are dangled as distractions. The shallow facade is the point.

Wouldn't know anything about that...

No, it's been implied that the US government assumed it must have been China, but there have been clues heavily implicating Vault-Tec for a long time.

I think it's safe to say this was always the canon interpretation, just hidden behind layers of in-game propaganda and historical revisionism.

Edit: A valid interpretation anyway.

And going by the hints China would be entirely justified in that there were literally American boots on the ground in Beijing.

No, I would call ftv the moment the establishment successfully broke AOC and the squad. I don’t know what was offered or threatened, but ever since then they have have shown nothing but fealty to the establishment Dems.

I think you're misremembering the FTV stuff, because AOC never supported it (and I think most other Squad people ignored it). Her opposition to it was actually the main reason it blew up into something people talked about for a while in the first place.

So all the FTV situation did was force them to show their true colors, since they were presented with a situation where they had leverage, but they never had any desire to actually use it.

necroing this discussion (sorry) but it would be such an amazing gag if Bethesda visits China in a future game and in the centuries since the nuclear exchange they rebuilt completely into a functional semi-industrial society just without easy access to oil but with the most advanced fusion tech in existence to compensate.

Tim Cain (in the membrane) has stated that the nukes were launched by China as a response to America’s biological weapons program creating and using the FTV virus.

FTV did work, it forced the fraud squad to go on record as being against Medicare for all. Everyone else in congress was already a known hard no, the only question was the incoming hot shots pretending to be progressives.

ftv wasn't the squad's idea. rather, it put them on the spot because it was something they could do right then and there if they really were who they claimed to be. shocker, they were not.

Incredibly funny that they all immediately signaled they were clowns ready to succ by making their first act as congressmembers a vote to make Pelosi speaker again for 0 concessions after her disastrous failures the previous session. Right out the gate showing their whole asses.

third party didn’t really matter. what lost it for Hillary is in democratic strongholds like Milwaukee County tens of thousands of people who voted for Barry in 2012 didn’t bother voting at all in 2016. she received 40,000 fewer votes in that county alone.

they voted. the votes were thrown out due to scott walker’s new law

I get it now, I never did 1 or 2. It seemed like they were pointing in all directions during F3, NV made it seem like a state did it since House missed his timing but then F4 Sells you pretty hard that Vault Tec top to bottom knew the timing, not the Enclave.
