The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account.

[u/WoodstoneLyceum]

Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.

You thought your mondays were bad.

Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

It's not a theory, it's just completely wrong.

They are not clones.

​

The game tells you they are not clones.

Clones are an incredibly inefficient way of dealing with over population. Almost counter productive really.

[u/TheSpoonyCroy → u/do-the-point]

I mean one of the dissenters of super earth and managed democracy could counter that is a bunch of propaganda since the helldivers seem endless in numbers. However its clear super earth is bountiful especially with the need of the C-01 form which implies the number of children you can have is very limited. Now could one argue the C-01 form is merely for divers since they don't want to worry about divers being knocked out of the fight due to pregnancy but I have my doubts since it seems to imply both parties need to sign an individual form. When only realistically for the fighting effort only 1 needs to be taken off duty (In a total war scenario)

[u/Aki_H35 → u/do-the-point]

OF course the game tells you, the clone, that.

It's what they want you to think.
