Was he a democrat or a republican?
he was a male version of hillary clinton
>>383796758
Libertarian
He sounds like a Lolbertarian so probably Republican.
>>383796758
a big guy
>FUCK THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM, JACK
what did he mean by this?
>>383796758
Trick question, he was Green party.
He was ancap faggot with nanomachines, but unlike ancap faggots he had style and you actually listened to him.
right leaning anti-authoritarian libertarian
>>383796758
Whig
>>383796758
>implying any top democrats/republicans would fight you in a 1 on 1 fist fight.
Not anymore.

>Thinking he got elected as a third party
L O L
He was a darwinist.
>>383797303
his internal politics
not what party he was with
>>383796758
Some weird nanomachine reincarnation hybrid of Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr. and Trump.
>>383796758
Libertarian, but without the non-aggression principle that makes Libertarianism not shit.
Conservative of some sort. Like all conservatives, he's a villain.
Likely he wanted the whole system to be taken down and born anew, so neither.
>>383796758
The nanomachine party
Edgy ancap loser
>>383796856
Naw. Lolbertarians hate the military industrial complex.
>>383796758
The idiots ITT are forgetting that he didn't run as a fucking ancap, he had a "jumpstart the economy with war" front. Who the hell knows how the politics work in a post-Patriots Metal Gear world, but by real world logic he would be a Republican. The whole "born from money, played college ball, and joined the Navy" plays into that too.
>>383796758
he was a true american and a hot blooded La-li-lu-le-lo
>>383796823
Naw. Hillary pretends to be a peacenick while war profiteering. This guy was open about it.
>>383796823
Naw. She was in Vanquish.
>>383796758
>he thought the weak must perish
Legit asking, how could you possibly get democrat from that? At least the extreme side of republicans openly act un-empathetic towards the less fortunate, so I get how that can be an option. But the extreme side of the left is not only known for being "empathetic", they actually use their "empathy" to do horrible fucking things.That's a different kind of villain from Armstrong entirely, not at all comparable.
>>383796941
That even as a member ofbone of them, he knows the two party system is all a Punch & Judy show run by the military industrial complex of The Patriots.
Colorado is typically a blue state, so he was probably a Democrat as a result.
>>383796758
He was evil as shit, so obviously Republican.
>>383801317
He was evil as shit, so obviously Democrat.
>>383796758
doesn't really matter
he was gonna dismantle the whole system afterwards and turn the whole country into a Mad Max like hellhole
>>383796758
He was bat-shit insane.
>>383799578
This
>>383796758
Nigga he was obviously Republican. Lefties can say his shit too but they're always commies.
>>383800847
u wot? The extreme left say similar things (e.g. Stirner and Nietzsche inspired a lot of individualist anarchists).
>>383796758
He's an amalgamation of both parties. He's the deep state.
>>383803192
Armstrong also hates the rich whites
>>383803323
Yeah that would NEVER be a right-wing talking point.
Niche Republican I agree, but barring a weird switch-up like how Dixiecrats were a thing, he's gonna be Republican (if he's one of the two to begin with).
Republican, he's literally Drumpf
At the foreign policy level they are practically the same. There's no real difference between a McCain or a Clinton when it comes to international relations amd war.
>>383803447
Trumptards fucking wish Trump was Armstrong.
>>383803323
>>383803442
Well, can you trust him at that point to tell you the truth?
>>383796758
Red Blooded American
>>383799397
You tried, here's your (You)
>>383803510
ye
nothing in the game contradicts that
he views Raiden as the ideal human being, someone who started from the bottom and clawed his way to the top of the food chain via perseverence and never compromising on his beliefs
his top soldiers consist of
> French-Algerian halfling
> literal Cambodian ex-gangster
> redneck warmonger from poorfag parents
> a spic from a favela
they all agree with his ideals (more or less), and as seen with Sam, he takes the extra effort of beating them just to be able to recruit them
He played ball in college. You think he was some limp wristed, video game playing, liberal beta male?
Naw. He was the alpha male that beta males (raiden, and the player) had to stop. The truth is Alphas always win in real life, so you play a little eacapism game to pretend you can beat an alpha male like armstrong.
>>383799397
Pretty much this.
>>383802378
>not wanting to live in a cyber-apocalyptic mad max land, where you can kill someone if he talks shit bout your waifu

>he fell for the party flipping meme
None of the democrat and republican politicians switched parties. KKK democrats like Robert Byrd stayed democrat until they died. Bill Clinton even admits to appealing to racist democrats to get elected.
>>383796758
He's AnCap
>>383804237
Do you not know what the dixiecrats were.
>>383803442
the party is entirely meaningless
Armstrong was willing to act like a more psychotic version of Dick Cheney to get elected, eventhough he hates PMCs and profit oriented war waging and he aimed to undo them.
he would've run as any party's nominate, if it meant getting better chances at the election, since he hates them all equally
>>383804287
Sure but given his persona it seems he'd be Republican.
>>383796823
>male hillary clinton
>when he literally says "make america great again."
>>383796758
>muh two party system
>muh world is black and white
Why are americans so fucking retarded?
>>383804894
2 party state with a tiny overton window yet still black n white makes 'em dumber
vicious cycle
>>383804894
Because they are retarded and cannot question their own fucking government.
>>383803939
Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
>game could have ended with Raiden and Armstrong hugging
They should have made it like a hidden QTE or some shit for fuck sakes
>>383803939
>He was the alpha male
Alpha machine*, a codec call with Doktor states that Armstrong is pure nanomachines imitating a homo sapiens
And wanna know the best part?The machine actually believes it
>>383803939
but I like Steve
I find it funny that Solid, and even fucking Armstrong, were more able to come to the same understanding the Boss did, despite never being influenced by her in any capacity, whereas Big Boss died still not understanding what the fuck the Boss was trying to accomplish
Bravo BB
>>383800847
>they actually use their "empathy" to do horrible fucking things
such as what?
>>383804237
This is true. My grandma is 86 and she voted for Obama twice and still constantly bitches about "niggers ruining everything."
>>383796758
Judging by the pain on his suit I would guess republican.
Well, if he was a senator for Texas than probably definitely a Republican. Honestly? Probably still better than Ted Cruz.
>>383803939
football players are literal faggots, fuck are you on about
>>383803939
>>383806313
>ball
This. >>383803939
"Hurr, b-but you're insane! :( P-protect the weak, durr!"
Fuck off, Raiden.

>inb4 triggered flyover faggots get mad
>>383798161

So 100% libertarian
>>383806298
Texans are republicans.
>>383804231
it's hard to play video games in lawless society anon.
>>383805589
That is so fucking eerie. At that point, I wonder if Armstrong's consciousness / thought patterns were replicated 1:1, or if the machine sort of picked up from his last biological train of thought and ran with it. Would human Armstrong have gone as far as his nanomachine replacement took it? Maybe he would have been even worse? Damn, what a cool concept.
>>383807728
Who?
>>383806272
>>383806656
t. Califag mad over Texas being the GOAT
>>383808840
You have either never been into or out of Texas.

Does California have different welfare laws?
t. ignorant Brit
>>383806272
Feels good to live in the United States of America, but sorry sir, I still voted Trump.
>>383809082
Fuck Donald trump
>>383796758
he was An-Cap
>>383809425
I agree. Not the point.
>>383809175
How is it fake? Are you saying it was staged? That it's literally fabricated and never happened?
Should I say that about every piece of news that I see and don't like?
>>383804231
>Implying your fat antisocial ass wouldnt die first
Kek
>>383809678
It never happened, fabricated, bogus, staged.
>>383809678
You should question everything.
>>383809225
California literally does not stop handouts if people should stop receive them due to misconduct, they give handouts if people have jobs, they give unemployment money even if you skip job interviews like its the plague.
Basically commiefornia babysits leeches and creates a society of dependent people because it would be evil/racist/whatever not to do so.
Its the liberal retard capital of the nation. hence the "smelling your own farts" part.
>>383810235
And yet it's one of the few places contributing to this century? Huh...
>>383797587
He says himself there's a difference between his campaign platform and his real goals.
>>383810325
well, it has a "no-child left behind" policy on handouts. the problem is that scumbag parents often take advantage of that. all you need is to have children.
>my job is low and pays badly? well im gonna have more children since the government will pay for it
>going for job interview? nah, no need. I have kids.
I understand its good to support children, but there definitely needs to be some changes to this system, the state is growing in population because people take advantage of GIBSMEDAT, not because its best state
>>383796758
He's evil, so definitely a Republican
>>383810325
Independence is an illusion because we're social animals.
