Fallout does not deserve to be the work of fiction that has the best depiction of a US/Canadian conflict, like there’s shitty comedy movies, and maybe a Turtledove book that even deals with it. But all of them treat it as a joke, like the second closet thing I can think of treating it somewhat seriously is maybe infinite jest but it’s like Quebec and French people aren’t real and their struggle was like a a school production with cardboard to like the IRA.

Idk, I’m done ranting.

The Fallout Lore is insane but entirely plausible because it accurately depicts the US, as "we can do this anyway and you can't stop us" prior to the nuclear Armageddon

I love finding the lore of pre-war life like a union busting ring in a former corporation PC
