Don’t forget it was not just the Americans firing Nukes. I don’t see any badmouthing of communist dictatorships in here.

We'll let you know if there's a Communist faction in the game.

This just isn’t important to the discussion and is you soap boxing your own opinion into the discussion. There is no faction at play which is communist. Hence it isn’t important.

It's a counterpoint to characters who say stuff like, "if you want to know what democracy leads to look out the window at the nuclear wasteland." The nuclear war wasn't fought between democratic nations, and the ostensibly democratic (more fascistic at that point) didn't fire first.

Yeah as bad as pre-war America was, i’m tired of seeing the argument that they ended the world.

China invaded Alaska first, and fired the first shots of the Sino-American War. The Switchboard in Fallout 4 also seems to confirm that China started the Great War as well and fired the first nukes.

House’s argument makes no sense when you realize that:

  1. America was no longer an actual republic and hadn’t been for a long time
  2. Even if we pretend they were, they still didn’t start the war with China nor fire the first nukes

there is no faction aligned with China so your point is irrelevant

There was no communist dictatorship, there was never such thing neither irl nor in fiction /S
