Yes... Helldivers 2 actually added this as a joke

This is Helldivers 2 gameplay

The ending legit made me laugh at work for a bit. And the forklift! Hilarious, as usual from Arrowhead.

[afunkymonke]

"Foot soldiers of a despotic regime" man the irony in this game is top fucking notch.

“Captured ‘voteless’ deemed impossible to rehabilitate after failing to stand for the national anthem” - rolling headlines under the broadcast

Pure comedy gold.

[camcrock]

@0:56 the voteless on the left side of the road that loses it's head starts to begin the salute animation we can see when we headshot the voteless but the camera cuts away just as they begin to raise their arm...Peak irony when seconds before the news is telling us that there is zero trace of their former personality's

[GiusePooP]

the opposite! the forklift had the higher peak in neuron activation, they still recognize them and probably could even drive them

[Orangeninja-vvfh]

I love how high command saw our citizen being mind controlled and immediately went “yep nothing we can do for em start shooting”

[theraidenmgr]

"No longer Forklift certifide"😂😂😂
Gimme a stim I'm dying 😂😂☠️💀💀

0:06 Strohmann news. Literally means "Strawman news" but just in German. Right on the nose, and I absolutely love it

[maxwell_edison]

No you don't understand, the EKG is showing MORE activity on the forklift indicator. They may infact still have Forklift Certification in there! We must fight harder!

[CaptainFordoAlpha-]

To be fair, the brain scan did show extreme activity in connection to the forklift. Meaning that they showed more recognition of the forklift than their own family.

"the voteless are beyond saving"

but when you electrocute them, some of them do the super earth salute or look down at their body in horror.

[freighttrainjohnson]

When slain they do seem to have retained some form of themselves as a few will salute super earth in their final moments. Don't let that give you any empathy to the enemies, this is what they want. Be sympathetic to the lost and the Voteless by liberating their bodies from an unwanted host and let their suffering come to an end.

[Claymireko]

Above the Forklift there is the gold fish (posibly a picture only) that got executed sometime ago.

[YomamaYodaddyYobjtchassGranny]

Forklift having the biggest spike for the brain is hilarious 😂

[ElSchatzo]

Fuck, as a non native English speaker, I never realised until now the obvious pun with the name "Strohmann News", LMAO 🤣

[SamWinters]

"As footsoldiers of a despotic regime" my entire team just cracked up at the writing for this report. Honestly, so much of the writing in this game is priceless. LIke, they really went "the Starship Troopers movie was too subtle. We can do better!" XD

[BlissBatch]

Who are these Class A Citizens who can afford calamari? My 7-year-old son would have to work half a year in the mines to afford that stuff. Gotta be mind control.

[Ewafingmyth]

"Strohmann" as in Strawman Argument, that's quite clever

[Red_]

Remember, any deviation in attention will be considered treason.

[FireLordJohn]

I’m the only one who thinks the zombie at 0:33 looks like movie Eggman/Robotnik with the mustache?
