Far Cry 6 - Anton Castillo on the Hypocrisy of American Imperialism

[@johnsymons5887]

The best part about this cutscene was at the end when Diego offers her the box of Viviro and the reporter, knowing full well it is obtained through unethical means, took it immediately and without hesitation. Thus proving Anton's point that noone will care where it comes from, just what it can do.

[@michaelmanherz7918]

I feel like both Castillo and the reporter were correct here. Castillo is right about how America benefited off of slavery for years and yes people all over the world are willing to reap the benefits produced by those in sweatshops and factories if it helps them. At the same time the reporter does sort of back him into a corner and gets him to a point where he has to admit he’s doing terrible things and that he and his country will make use of the rewards just like he was accusing and blaming other counties for doing. He himself seems pretty hypocritical to me.

[@TPDManiacXC626]

TV Trope of the Day: Both Sides Have a Point

[@NtoTheM]

He's not hypocritical, because he aknowledges his faults. The reporter however tried to defend herself whenever Castillo brought up america's own financial foundation from slaves work and abuse of ressources they stole. That is hypocrisy. Knowing full well you do some fucked up shit and in turn eventually make the country great in the future is evil as fuck, always has been and always will be, but it's not hypocritical if you stand by it proudly.

It made you re-think of your motive, is he/she really a bad person, are you? Are we sure we do this for just cause? All i see Libertad also full of people who could be corrupted any moment, justifying their work as "revolution for the good of the masses" they're bunch of undisciplined rebels, they're rebels who also kill with no remorse hiding behind the ideals of "freedom". I like it, no black and white, you just swimming in murky water of something called "morality".

[@andezong9565]

The problem with Castillo’s logic is that if I was a racist dictator who wanted to get rid of “undesirables” in my impoverished 3rd world country and I murdered 12 million of them in a disturbingly industrialized and creepily efficient genocide based purely off of stupid racist ethno-nationalist rhetoric, would it be ok for me to tell the American reporter interviewing me “you see, the Nazis did it and look at Germany today so why can’t I do it?”? Castillo doesn’t have a point, he’s trying to make excuses for his fucked up regime and relies on the far too overused method of simply passing the buck over and placing blame on Big Bad America to justify his tyrannical actions and beliefs.

[@somewhatunbiasedtalks]

@@andezong9565 his point was super true lmao. When he said nobody cares about what’s happening when they have results is very true.

[@karlmoore9422]

The fact that Anton is aware of all of this just makes his crimes against his own people more abhorrent. Talia said he didn't see the Irony, he does and chooses to ignore it. Criticizing America for its past and present sins is ubiquitous around the world, hell I do it all the time, But when It's used by tyrants in a thinly veiled attempt to excuse their own crimes That's not a criticism, it's gaslighting on an international scale. It should never be mistaken for anything else and should be called out and firmly opposed, especially by countries like America, because failing to do so leads inexorably to people dying.

This entire scene has got to be the most intense one in gaming in a while. No action, just pure ideology and will in Anton's words. He got his point across so masterfully, and ironically proved his point to the reporter by her accepting Diego's gift for her father. That one sequence where Diego is giving her the Viviro and she accepting it, knowing it was produced by slave labor, was the crème de la crème in this game. Humanity in a nutshell.

[@noahharrison2322]

In a frightening and poetic way, he’s right. I mean, his point was proven as soon as she took that box of Viviro Diego gave her. Nobody cares how it’s made, where it’s made or who made it. If the product works even for just a short time, people will trust it.

[@E_Bailey]

​@@ElBandito Except slavery and serfdom was common throughout the world when America was practicing it. Why then did countries like Brazil not get rich? It was the American creation of private property rights that allowed it to receive overseas investment and attract tens of millions of immigrants from war-torn Europe. In addition, the Federal system of government and "separation of Powers" meant that power and influence were decentralized compared to the other governments of the time. This allowed America to exploit its vast natural resources in a much more efficient and effective manner, while other potential rivals were either colonized by Europeans or had overbearing centralized power structures that concentrated wealth too much, stifling innovation and growth.

Anton Castillo made a lot of valid points. Many villains no matter how bad they are, they can have valid points too.

[@chrisahearn789]

The one thing I absolutely hate about the far cry games since 4 is that they place you in scenarios where the best outcome is to not play them. If AJ didn't kill pagan ming and/or turn over kyrat to the golden path, then the country wouldn't have become either a theocracy or a drug state that uses child labor and you or pagan would have ruled the country, with Ajay likely being more even handed then pagan In 5 not playing the game literally prevents the apocalypse and ensures that your character isn't psychologically tortured into becoming a hollowed out manservant And in this game fleeing to America prevents the death of Diego and the obvious devolution of yara into a warzone amongst the factions of revolutionaries who are just as suspect as the golden path in 4 Hell, considering Anton's terminal illness, not playing the game means that Anton dies and Diego, someone shown to be alot more kind and compassionate than his father, takes over and potentially reshapes the island for the better TL/DR: I hate far cry because they make you bring about the worst case scenario

[@Spicypuff]

Even though Farcry 5 is still my favorite, it has one of the most bullshit endings ever. I don't care if we get closure in new dawn, the way they just slap the player across the face in an effort to prove us wrong is so infuriating and essentially legitimize Joseph's actions. It makes more sense that the cult would detonate the nukes in an effort to prove that they were right but nope. I honestly can't bring myself to finish the game. Once I at a point where I have to face Joseph I just start a new game because I don't want to get a headache. I don't know why they could just have had us take out Joseph and given us a basic ending. Heck I wouldn't mind Rook sacrificing themselves if it meant hope county survive. Either way I'm disappointed.

I mean, with FC4 there is a silver lining. You can kill both Amita and Sabal, and its implied Ajay then become's king himself. Wether he'll be a good king is up to anyone's headcanon. Its arguably the best option. Under Pagan things are pretty terrible and not much changes when Amita takes over (Kyrat will still be a drug state with shady labor), while Sabal installs a theocracy. So I headcanon that Ajay probably does better. Agreed on FC5 though. While I enjoy FC5 gameplaywise, I hate the story.

Update 4/25/2022: I realize now that Mrs. Tily and her other American colleagues or associates would’ve been speaking Spanish for diplomacy.

Also for the other American ambassador, he would also be speaking Spanish for diplomacy as well. However, when they return to the American embassy then it’s all English language when not on diplomatic missions. Heyo I’ve got a question.

Too bad he was literally as wrong as could be seeing as its already been long confirmed that US slavery was actually an economic drain on the country rather than a boon. It was only after the Civil War that the US skyrocketed in wealth as a country. As for why Castillo is wrong? Is that a serious question? The point of history is to NOT make the same mistakes as those int eh past; when people did it before they didn't know any better, now we do. And Castillo hides behind history to just do the same thing we shouldn't be repeating, and that makes him a monster to crush, not someone to argue against.
