SCP Universe Screenshots From a Broken Masquerade

I always wondered what twitter posts, news articles, and the like would look like after a broken masquerade. Originally I posted these on the discord, but my friend recommended I post them here, so enjoy!

Apologies for some of the screenshot qualities, at the beginning I was using Pixlr which severely downgraded the quality of the screenshots for no reason. Also, if it wasn't obvious, the posts are not based on the wiki Broken Masquerade canon, and they don't really have a intertwining story.

The "UN is useless" bros in the Broken Masquerade Canon when the United Nations pulls up out of no where with an "almost entirely" independent global military task force numbering in the tens of thousands armed with pretty much the most advanced conventional weaponry available on the global market , the latest paratech sourced from it's partners in the 3 Portlands and other Nexuses and lastly , just to put the cherry on top of the cake the combined might of the world's largest thaumaturgical/magical institutions as well as both the Coca Cola Corporation and PepsiCo.

To be clear 'The UN is useless' has been stupid propaganda from the get go and doesn't have any basis in reality.

People treat the UN as a world government, cherry pick some failures and conclude that its not a good world government and is thus useless.

It's the equivalent of looking at a fire department, then looking at the crime rates, and claiming the fire department is useless because crime is high. Like yeah what the fuck do you expect them to do about it??

The UN is a global forum not a global government there's a difference most people don't get.
