You're acting like the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany never existed and had no militaries, or even if there were such a thing as propaganda.

You know why Russian soldiers fought for the Soviet Union, even if they didn't want to? It was either fight and maybe win or turn back and get sent to a Gulag. There is such a thing as fear. That's seems like a TR thing to me, you fight and die or you just die. Plus the TR are pretty harsh and strict, so its not a reach to say that the populace/military is basically brainwashed (or genuinely believes) into thinking that they're restoring peace.

The Vanu? Man, I don't know. You can see all over the world religious wackos and cray cray hardcore religious stuff (cough ISIS bastards cough), but I'm not comparing that to the VS. I'm saying a reason that people fight for VS? All kinds of reasons. You got these super cool gadgets, a promise of "enlightenment" and "survival." Look at history, and see radical ideas. Many spread, and some were even right. Radical ideas can get followers for many reasons. Maybe they were desperate? Maybe they were pissed? Maybe they just needed something that the VS could deliver?

The NC? You've got it wrong mate. Most of the NC soldiers aren't truly fighting for political freedoms or civil rights (but all three factions are diverse, so the only rascism here seems to be anti Vanu). You know what the NC usually fight for? A paycheck. Pure and simple, mercenaries and bounty hunters, people looking for money.

And tbh, the NC is probably the most honest to itself but not to others. The NC label themselves as freedom fighters, but inside they just straight up say "I'm Donald J.P. Morgan Capitalism FTW Trump mofos, Idc about that, just need my profits."

Also, the NC wouldn't be a real fascist state, but a corporate police state, really.
