I’m normally not one to drink the crazy cool-aid and claim that all of our civil liberties are at stake, or that we’re entering a police state, or that the world is coming to an end, but I was sent the following image via email this morning.
I’ve put up a simple side-by-side comparison for you, and I think you can plainly see that we’re well and truly fucked. Yes, the combine are now riot police, and they’re coming to a town near you.
Even the poor sod on the ground looks like one of those emotionally neutered humans from HL 2 wearing the drab clothing. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear this is elaborate cosplay.

It’s not cosplay o_o
Those are eastern european gas masks (Russian or Polish, I forget).
The Combine masks were based on them.
They’re actually Georgian. Sakaashvilli unleashed them on opposition protests earlier this year to the condemnation of the rest of the world.
That’s what happens when you don’t pick up the can.
The shading on the left is better.
So what’s the context…? Doesn’t anyone use critical thinking anymore..? The Georgian police were reacting to a pro Russian protest staged by Putin just prior to the Russian ” Incursion ” last month..
Kool-Aid with a “K”. Also when they all suicided they had some knock off brand. Fun-Aid or some such.
