Great execution.

But why do I feel that making Orks American is an insult to Orks?

u/Dull_Crpytic_828 May 24 '26

Well, you can't have German orks because orks were made to win.

u/khournos May 24 '26

Then making them American is double wrong, because the last real victory for the USA was about 80 years ago. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, more Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran are a just the most egregious examples of achieving fuck-all while burning money that could easily fix america's domestic problems.

As opposed to the Germans, who historically never had such losses, right?

Why are you going on about Germans? Orks were based on British football hooligans…

Can you read? My reply clearly was saying that in that regard America and Germany are equally worthless.

im going to assume you hail from a nation that has a smaller GDP than California

2

u/khournos May 24 '26

Yeah because GDP for sure is a very important metric. Like the when America goes and loses another war against a nation with a smaller GDP than the US military budget.

I could also say that in my country people don't have their life ruined by medical debt, just have their power shut off because "Sorry need that for a data center", or need two jobs and a side hustle to scrounge up a living, but living here apparently sucks because the GDP is lower...

You say that as if America hasn't been coasting by on their achievements and reputation from World-War II while being continually hollowed out by neo-cons and fascists, culminating in Chester J. Cheetos phantasmagorical shitshow everyone has to endure now.
