The America of the Past is an interview in Death Stranding.

Oh boy. You want to hear about America? Well, you asked for it. But if you're looking for some rose-tinted bullshit, you've come to the wrong place.
I'm an immigrant, you see. Nothing special about that—whole country was built by immigrants. Right off the bat I could see it wasn't quite the land o' the free I'd been led to believe, but for a while there, it wasn't so bad. Even bought into the American Dream for a minute. I mean hell, they let a black guy and a woman take a shot at the presidency, you know?
Didn't last, though. Somewhere along the line, people became so damned...intolerant. All of a sudden, there wasn't any room for other opinions—or other people, for that matter. We even elected a guy right before the Death Stranding that wanted to build a wall along the whole border—stop anyone like me from coming in. Once that talk started I reckoned that was that. How could I expect a goddamn thing from a country that didn't want me? How could I hope to get by in land where the weak and needy got fucked over for profit and peace of mind?
So yeah, I figured holing up in a shelter was the way to go. Didn't know how bad it would get—no one did—but i tell you, if it hadn't been for that single decision, I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. Just goes to show that the only person anybody can rely on is his own damn self. UCA? Gimme a break. You're just pushing the same ol' bullshit, repackaged for a brave new world.
