Nihilists usually want to destroy everything. My courier was of the ideology that all life on earth would need to be destroyed eventually including himself. Basically he was on an impossible doom quest.
The House doesn't just see a fried speck of dirt, he sees the potential for society reformed, his system needs some sorting out, personally I would have exterminated the Omertas and replaced them with the Khans. But yes, I was surprised to find his vision of the wastes to be the best option, thought he'd g9 full dictator but it turns out he doesn't give a shit what people do in their spare time, like a proper Libertarian. Independence for a Free Mohave, now free of Fiends, Black Mountain, Poweder Gangers and interfering outsiders. NCR is too much like current politicians and Caesar is just, no, go away. Clearly me with my Doom Lazer and Army of Securitrons is the best leader of the Mohave.
Ewww. I think the main problem with todays politics is we've basically legalized bribery via campaign contributions. I think its a bad idea to formally join the two as its bound to make it all about the dollar signs.
That's a completely different thing entirely. Politicians aren't getting the money, even if you lose. The other people who bet on it, and won, do.
