Can we have a serious discussion of the Combine Empire and its government on Earth? As I was replaying HL2 I always found myself wondering what I would've done in the same situation. Breen kinda gets a bad rap imo, seems like he genuinely believes in humanity working with the Combine for self-betterment (or self-preservation)
Breen did (almost) nothing wrong

Stop stealing my quotes gabe.
More like self assimilstion
Breen was deluded and the only thing he wanted to preserve was his own ass, which just so happens to have coinside with the goal of remainders of humanity.

I don't think Breen would've went to the trouble to sell his soul to the Combine and become reviled and hated by all humanity unless he was concerned about more than just himself. Sure, he was trying to save his own skin but I think he genuinely wanted humanity to survive. He saw Freeman's uprising as a suicide mission that would destroy the species for sure.
