I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
"No," says the man in Washington, "it belongs to the poor."
"No," says the man in the Vatican, "it belongs to God."
"No," says the man in Moscow, "it belongs to everyone."
I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture.
Fuck off Ryan.
In 1919, I fled a country that had traded in despotism for insanity. The Marxist revolution simply traded one lie for another. Instead of one man, the tsar, owning the work of all the people, *all* the people owned the work of all of the people.

Sorry, I meant would you kindly fuck off.
andrew ryan = trump
So, I came to America: where a man could own his own work, where a man could benefit from the brilliance of his own mind, the strength of his own muscles, the *might* of his own will.
I had thought I had left the parasites of Moscow behind me. I had thought I had left the Marxist altruists to their collective farms and their five-year plans.
But as the German fools threw themselves on Hitler's sword "for the good of the Reich",
the Americans drank deeper and deeper of the Bolshevik poison, spoon-fed to them by Roosevelt and his New Dealists.

I don't get this, wasn't 50's murrica super ANTI socialist?
Bravo Ken.
What is the greatest lie every created? What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind?
Slavery?
The Holocaust?
Dictatorship?
No. It's the tool with which all that wickedness is built: altruism. Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their altruism. Never mind your own needs, they say, think of the needs of... of whoever. The state. The poor. Of the army, of the king, of God! The list goes on and on.
How many catastrophes were launched with the words "think of yourself"?
It's the "king and country" crowd who light the torch of destruction. It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.

This was roosevelt and the new deal, long before the 1950s

No, they were anti-communist, not the same thing.

true
Infinite had a much more credible ideological backdrop for Columbia than Bioshock had for Rapture.
I'm sorry, but you can't run a civilized society without taxation and public services. We have a name for privatized basic public services: Mafia.
Is it just that I am european and saw abaolutely no credibility in ANYTHING Andrew Ryan was saying? Because Rapture's collapse, to me, wasn't tragic or mysterious or unexpected: it was that society's logical outcome.
By contrast, the kind of thinking Columbia was built on is in full force to this day.
Funny: of the two, Infinite isn't a horror game, and yet that's the scary one.
(Gameplay in Bioahock sucked balls too, took until Infinite to fix it (Bioshock 2 is hot garbage)).

OK, your post was good until this point.
>>339518146
He's right, Bioshock 2 is garbage that is liked on /v/ because is the less liked one everywhere else.
>>339518292
It's a pale imitation of the original Bioshock but it's not garbage.
I just find the idea of Infinite "fixing" anything laughable.
>>339517843
That's the point of the game, anon.

horrendous bad taste, bioshock and especially 2 shit over infinites gameplay
>>339518292
it has the best gameplay of all three, lamb might piss you off but that is about it. Her desire to destroy genetic tyranny is pretty terrifying actually, to engineer a post human
>>339517843
From what I remember everything in Rapture was privately owned, and the government run by Ryan had their own business ventures and they charged people for public services. Real governments kinda work like this, but you are usually charged based on your income instead of based on the services you use. Bioshock was almost completely implausible because there would so many problems with a flying city.
Most Pretentious game ever

It was literally all fontaine's doing that caused the downfall
