* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Given how completely contrary the government of Super Earth is to the concepts of "Democracy", "Liberty" and even "Freedom" that its citizens fling around so often, it's entirely possible that the average citizen of Super Earth has ''no idea what any of those concepts actually mean'' and are just parroting them as buzzwords designed to instill PatrioticFervor.

* WeHaveReserves: There is a pervasive tendency for Super Earth to pretty much assume that most of its soldiers are going to die in any given operation, and that this has little bearing on the success or failure of their missions. May be justified in that they have a population in the many billions (that they are implied to not even be able to fully support and are trying to use population control on anyway) across multiple planets from which they are able to conscript from with almost no restrictions. This attitude surprisingly does not appear to have any notable effect on morale.

Supported by the many ways the words are used that have no bearing on any existing definition of them.

* TrainingFromHell: Inverted and parodied. Since the SEAF are a gigantic RedshirtArmy, it's stated that tens of millions of Super Earth citizens are conscripted at once and put through a paltry ''72-hour basic training course'', which is still called "[[BlatantLies rigorous]]" by High Command. Given the speed at which a mass mobilization of this size is expected to regularly occur ''and'' taking into account how pathetically lackluster the training that even Super Earth's EliteMooks get is, it probably helps explain why they die in even greater numbers than the Helldivers.

* ForGreatJustice: Just like the Helldivers, he's liable to punctuate the firing of his shuttle's autocannon with lines such "For peace!" or "For liberty!"

* TotalitarianUtilitarian: Let's be honest here: leaving aside the lack of a [[ CultOfPersonality clearly visible cult of the individual ]] , the Super Earth's regime has all the characteristics of a totalitarian state controlling every element of citizens' lives and demanding from them total sacrifices for the good of the state as a whole. Much of their propaganda taps into the idea of servicing the greater good, and the Helldiver recruitment ads especially draw on the concept that "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_isn%27t_free freedom doesn't come free]]" and that citizens can repay their "debt" to the greater populace by enlisting in the military and "helping to keep them safe".
