Far Cry 5 ignores both Montana’s real history of fascism and its victims

They live in compounds deep in the mountains, sharing conspiracies about who really runs things while cleaning their illegal firearms and awaiting the end of the world.

His ex-wife kills “flag burning socialists” from a helicopter with the efficiency of a South American military junta.

They are somehow the best anti-fascist heroes Ubisoft could come up with for Far Cry 5.
