WW1, how fun!

I can't imagine President Moldy Apple Core issuing even a SINGLE bad EO. That's just how good Mr. President would be.

Next you'll tell me this isn't real either.

FFT does have a lot of dialogue that deals with classism and philosophy, it's really good, and part of why edits like this use FFT so often.

They who hinder the path of the mighty get trampled. It's no different for nobles than for commoners, except nobles have numbskulls like yourself blindly swearing loyalty and all that rubbish!

What have you done that did not rely on the labours of others? From birth you have wanted for nothing! You can not know what it is to live the meager life we do.

Iran was Western-aligned during the Cold War. When the Shah's authoritarian regime was overthrown in 1979, Iran kept the military hardware that the US supplied the Shah with.

I believe that's an old joke from the period, though the Romanian Securitate did monitor people and phonecalls to an even greater degree than the German Stasi did.
