Bioshock 2 Sofia Lamb's Propaganda

[@Kiyoko504]

It would be so cool to bring a Ruined Rapture too life, like have an entire section, with leaks and everything, built, maybe as part of a water park for Adults

[@imonke5303]

YESSS!

[@TheWunWhiteWolf]

These announcements just make me feel more of a badass as Delta. “The enemy is alone” just makes me want to set up some turrets, rev up my drill, and wait for the search parties to arrive.

"This is Doctor Sofia Lamb, with a message for the people. Remember, you are not alone. Think of me not as leader, but as a mother to the Rapture Family." ―In room with Splicers in large pool of water in Adonis Luxury Resort "Remember, Big Sister looks after Little Sister. Interrupt Little Sister's work, and Big Sister will find you." ―(to be completed) "This is Doctor Sofia Lamb, with a message for the people. Remember, Big Sister is always watching. To steal ADAM is to steal from the Rapture family, your family." ―After first fight with a Big Sister in Adonis Luxury Resort "Rapture was to be your Paradise. You grasped the so-called Great Chain of progress and pulled hard in your own interest. But then, the Great Chain snapped. Now Paradise is dying, and you with her. But we are never alone, we shall live on. Join the Rapture Family and be reborn." ―(to be completed) "Look around, my friends: Rapture is a mass grave. Here lies the Holy Self, abiding Mozart's rot beside a girl who might have surpassed Einstein. Those who survived the war still crave the ADAM drug. Locked within ourselves, we were unfit for Utopia." ―(to be completed) "This is Doctor Sofia Lamb. Andrew Ryan is dead, but the Tyrant dwells withing us all. Remember: we reject the Gene; we reject the Self; we reject the Tyrant." ―In Workshop 6A of the Atlantic Express Depot "Citizens of Rapture, this is Subject Delta. Behind that mask hides an enemy of the People, without soul or sympathy. It is a beast apart, and as Family, we must tear off its jaw and drive it back into the sea." ―When meeting Tenenbaum at the ticket booth of the Atlantic Express train station "Each of us has a moral duty to increase the common joy and ease the common pain. Alone, we are nothing, mere engines of self interest. Together, we are the Family, and through unity we transcend the Self." ―In the gift shop of Ryan Amusements "Ryan saw the individual as a hero, a noble survivor. And Rapture was his Paradise; a shrine to the supremacy of the self. The result? Slavery, genocide, chaos. Now that the Tyrant is dead, we are a true collective, a single Family." ―In Ryan Amusements entrance "Ryan was wrong. To hand sufficient power to any individual is to create a tyrant. We must therefore eradicate tyranny at the genetic level. To end sin itself, that is the Family, that is our cause." ―In El Dorado Lounge "Attention: Subject Delta is now trapped in Pauper's Drop. All rail car travel is suspended until he is found. Remember: the enemy is alone, we are the Family." ―Entering Pauper's Drop "Father Simon Wales, can you hear me? I have trapped a devil at your doorstep. And Simon, Daniel is dead. Murdered. Can you hear him crying out for justice?" ―After entering the code of the door to Plaza Hedone "Attention: Subject Delta has drained and infiltrated Dionysus Park. His death is our rebirth. The life of the People's Daughter is in your hands!" ―After entering Dionysus Park and killing the Houdini Splicer "Rapture was a city founded to exult the Self, a society of 'I.' This is a contradiction in terms: the individual naturally subverts the collective, resulting in chaos. And so, Rapture failed." ―(to be completed) "Delta, our conflict to interest seems to be upsetting Eleanor. For her sake, I have made it clear to these men that you are not to suffer. I accept full responsibility for any anger you may experience before you die." ―After finishing saving or harvesting the last Little Sister in Dionysus Park "Subject Delta, I have known for years of Stanley's betrayal here, and have forgiven him. But in compromising Eleanor now, he seals his fate. You see, it was Stanley who turned you in to Ryan. He is responsible for what you have become. The security booth is open now, you may have your revenge." ―When returning to the train station after dealing with all Little Sisters in Dionysus Park. "The Tyrant has no family, no friends, no country; only slaves, chained in his wake. To his fellows he asks, 'of what use are you to me?' Those who love him are his subjects, for the Tyrant accepts only worship or fear." ―In entrance lobby of Fontaine Futuristics "The Tyrant looks upon the world, saying, 'all this is mine.' And by force or guile, he makes it so. To the Tyrant, the whole of creation is held in the relative; sun and moon revolve for him alone. For the Tyrant, even Justice is whimsy. He alone is fit to weigh, to measure, and to cut." ―Entering path to Fontaine Futuristics' fake lab "Ryan's morale impulse was sound; he observed the world and dissented, simply, 'we can do better.' But Utopia cannot precede the Utopian. It will exist the moment we are fit to occupy it. Not a place, but a People." ―(to be completed) "The human animal, like the Gene, serves only the Self. We are born believing that the World turns for us alone, and we die in the futile attempt to make it so. I've treated them all, from career prostitutes to titans of industry. The only constant is dissatisfaction." ―(to be completed) "To the individual, his or her own instincts appear divinely ordained, but our drives are the product of evolved self worship and are, therefore, naturally corrupt. Alone, we are enslaved to our own perspectives. It is a kind of protagonist syndrome, of which we are all afflicted." ―(to be completed) "The individual, with even the least malicious intent, is prone to self-bias, resulting in great agony for those she loves. It is only the collective will that allows us to transcend this inner Tyrant." ―(to be completed) "Free will evolved, my friends. The illusion of control is a trick of the Gene, vanishing in an instant the moment we are sufficiently tempted. The Gene makes a Tyrant of us all." ―(to be completed) "Attention! Augustus Sinclair has been sighted within the facility. He will attempt to reach Subject Delta. All Family duties are hereby suspended until he is found!" ―Outer Persephone, when walking past Sofia as a Little Sister "Attention! Augustus Sinclair has been captured within the facility whilst attempting to reach Subject Delta. He is to be transferred into the Therapy Wing for rehabilitation." ―(to be completed) "This is an emergency: Subject Delta has escaped; Eleanor Lamb has turned her back on her own People. Stand and fight, or the Rapture Family falls together." ―After the security lockdown in Inner Persephone "It was my life's labor to abolish the Self, Delta; to tear down the walls between us. You, I now know, are the Tyrant incarnate. I have fought you for my entire life, and with my last breath, I shall end you." ―(to be completed) "Sofia Lamb is at peace, Tyrant; accepting the sacrifice of this body was her first morale act. In her final thoughts, she will imagine you whaling and gnashing as you fall into the dark." ―(to be completed)

"Each of us has a moral duty to increase the common joy and ease the common pain." - I actually have this chalked on my wall.

[@harrisonbetker2271]

After all her posturing, all her little speeches, Sofia lamb turned out to be no better than Andrew Ryan.

[@Novazi74]

Am I wrong to say Sofia Lamb's ideology is something like a religious version of communism? That's what I've been getting anyway.... It's cringeworthy, but an interesting matter

[@igorsantos6229]

Novazi74 yes, it's like an extremist socialism plus religion

[@Anchorheads]

I'd honestly say Lamb is more fascist than anything. One of the most notable characteristics of fascism is the perversion of socialist rhetoric: the "people," the "common good," etc. Lamb uses "the family" interest here where historically fascists have used "the nation"

[@GraySheep1717]

I know this was four years ago, but what did you mean by cringeworthy?

[@SlavKar]

In general, socialism/communism and religion have a lot in common.

[@dominickstewart433]

Now if Ryan was real...

[@EmptyMan000]

@@dominickstewart433 There are plenty of "Ryans" in the world. They're the elitist upper crust who ruin lives while claiming that they earned all they have. They help nothing and make the world terribly contradictory.

[@adamnsliceofcake6371]

Can't we all just acknowledge that Ryan and Lamb are both right in some ways but wrong in so many more ways? Just because they're ideologies line up more with yours doesn't mean they're good people or that you have to like them. They're both fantastic characters in my opinion, but I don't like them as people.
