No, you don't understand, he is now parading his youngest kid everywhere (while neglecting all his other children), so he's totally relatable and also totally not using a human being as a prop!
Not OP, but it's a very good game that gets better the longer you play it. It more like Mass Effect than Dragon Age in many ways though, but the final stretch especially was almost on the same level as the suicide mission of ME2 IMO.
Characters and gameplay are great, dialogue and level design could have been better and the only element that really sucked for me are the godawful outfits and weapons and lack of variation thereof.
China is already the next superpower, but now the US will actively turn its back towards the rest of the world. Instead of China needed to fight its way to the top, the US will now give it a high five on the way down.
Also fits Galadriel and her decision to rather remain Galadriel and go into the west instead of become the "Dark Queen". She's literally the oldest living being besides Sauron itself residing on Middle Earth by that point.
He's probably doing his best to grow a beard. He looks suspciously clean-shaven on the pictures and a beard (and glasses instead of contacts) might be enough to fool facial recognition.
They also don't seem to know or tend to forget that it only needs a relatively small percentage of the population to flat out resist for society to stop working. Only a few hundreds of thousands of protesters in East Germany brought the country to its knees and effectively ended the Cold War.
Also, I call bullshit on this. No way a commercially available skin dye would do something like this and it also wouldn't dye more than the uppermost layer of the epidermis, which should renew itself fairly quickly. A few peelings should take care of it. Humans shed a lot of skin cells. That's basically what dust is (and what dust mites eat) and why even the cleanest bed has tens of thousands of dust mites on it.
Facsism was always only a net-positive for the already rich. It's the logical endpoint of unbridled capitalism.
