propaganda is fun like that....
i still would like to ask, why do you know the resistance are out for the good? cuz your told by the 'locals'? there poor and have nothing. maybe they are sick of having nothing and want to take what the authority have? (like resources??) its like if you woke from a coma and bank robbers convinced you they were good and the cops were evil, and then used you to help fight for their freedom.
think of the authority as lets say' america' and the resistance as lets say 'iran'. authority is technically advance with resources and the resistance are just rebels. who knows who's up to what really, its left 'in the air' really.
I would ask you what makes you think the Authority is America: in our scenario.
I aill point out one last time that in the town of wellsprings, the authority straight up tells that city's population that they are only alive because the authority allows them to be, so they had better turn over the protagonist.
Sorry, but that's not America, that's an oppressive totalitarian pseudo-government.
and it isnt just the resistance that tells you the Authority is up to no good.
Pretty much every NPC points that out. Iw ill trust what is in game over random internet speculation any day of the week.
point blank, if you want to prove that the authority are somehow misunderstood good guys, the burden of proof is upon you to do so. good luck with it.
I know some on these forums like to romance the enclave from the fallout series as patriots... they at least have a leg to stand on in their argument. there is no such luxury here.
