He wasn't fundamentally wrong, he just took things too far. He passed his meme onto Jack who now fights only for his own causes as Armstrong would have wanted. He's not dollar store big boss. Big Boss wanted a world for soldiers. Armstrong wanted an end to soldiery. He wanted everyone to be a warrior for his own sake.

Pretty much. His attitude is what people like, not his politics. He and Raiden both want the same thing more or less, to end war as a business, but their solutions are very different because they come from extremely different backgrounds the biggest philosophical difference being Armstrong has no problem stepping on whoever he needs to achieve his ends.
Still absolutely love Armstrong as a character. GOATed af villain for sure.

>All power comes from expensive nanomachines he injected into himself
He uses these nanomachines to even the odds against cybernetically enhanced super soldiers. In fact, he starts off fighting Raiden in a mech before using them, he was holding back.
>Worldview is "dollar store Big Boss"
No. He believes in Might makes Right to an absolute extreme; his ideal world is the one where the strong turn the tables on the weak ruling society and attain true freedom. In his case, the "weak" individuals are those of lacking moral fiber, while the strong have the conviction to stand up for what they believe. He doesn't contradict this line of thought.
>"Based" politics would have turned America into Uganda within a single generation
Maybe.

This guy's flaw is his insanity. He literally harvests children's brains to get his way abd and then goes "can't fret over every egg!". Yet, his beliefs are consistent, he DOES care and attempts to fulfill his promises through means he deems necessary. He's not Trump or Elon, because these guys will never get shit done, while he was close to victory and has to be stopped by a man with stronger convictions.

So? He harvested their brains to train them with super cyborg ninja assassin skills and was going to give them dope ass cyber ninja bodies like Raiden's, with guaranteed employment in their future. It's an objectively better existence than living as a street rat in mexico.

Raiden cuts a kid in half to save him and gets a pass because "we gave him a new body! A better body! He loves it!", but Armstrong can't get the same pass?

Usually those lacking moral fiber are the ones amassing the most might, so I dunno what he was on about. Hell, nanomachines basically confirm that. Do you think your average bergwitzstein wouldn't inject himself with them if it means he has billions now AND can throw tanks like toys?
Creation of Armstrong's "ideal world" would require complete catastrophic upending of current one, and what will follow is current world but shittier in ABSOLUTE BEST CASE. Armstrong is an unhinged lunatic, and worst of all - an idealistic one.

ngl I never really got the finer details of that point 'til now, I just assumed he meant stamping out general weakness as a whole. Opinion of him has been modified.

No the fuck it isn't. They are brains ripped out of their skulls and trapped in a meatgrinder simulator 24/7 and moved into bodies that their employer literally owns when that's done. They don't have "guaranteed employment," nigger, they're slaves with bomb collars.

Yes, because we've gotten really good at outsourcing environmental destruction. But it's not even forests, it's about tanking the nation's IQ, a process that's currently happening at full speed.

That is why Armstrong desired to reset everything and give everyone the tools to pursue their dreams. It would not a perfect plan one bit, but it made sense. >>712468682
This is why Armstrong works as sort of a parody of the "Ultimate American". His faith in his ideals are so unshakable that he's willing to march to the grave for them, yet he's so utterly mad that he's blind to any form of pragmatism. He paid too heavy of a price to get there as well, making you wonder if all the dead people and children would be worth an "ideal" society.

then their social structure will alter to value schooling and select a bit more for intelligence.
