Game Theory: How to Overthrow a Dictator (Far Cry 6)

Special thanks to Ubisoft for sponsoring this episode!
Pre-order your copy of Far Cry 6 NOW!! ► ubi.li/9CPV2
The Far Cry series has a long history of charismatic and not so good leaders in their games. They are games with a deep dive into how bad leaders come into power... and how they stay there. Now, the games generally focus on bringing down these bad leaders - and they do a great job. I've learned a LOT and it follows many of the lessons we've learned throughout our own history on the subject. If we know how a bad leader stays in power, we can figure out how to take that power away. Get ready for a power lesson in Game Theory!

MatPat doesn’t describe revolutionary tactics, he describes REACTIONARY tactics. Even if those are used for good, they are still not meant to do good.

[@hantra17]

There's one piece you forget. The most important piece of them all. The soldiers. They and their officers choose to follow him. If he does not have their support, he has nothing. In my country, something like this is happening. Things are just turned 180 degrees. Here it is the villains who made the protest and are protected by the soldiers. Fun right?

[@NoESanity]

the thing is, that officers follow the same way citizens do. because even if you are a man in charge of a small army of 1,000 men, you are not going to stand up against the 30 other people who each have 1,000 of their own men that you think follow him. this is why dictators often have "turn in the rat rewards" because if one of those officers says the wrong thing around another officer or even one of his solders who really is loyal, his head will be on a pike. so the dictator stops speak through fear, and thus insures loyalty through fear. this is also why heros will often be killed, because if you give the people someone to rally behind, they can support the hero and see each other supporting the hero without directly saying they are against the leader until it's to late.

First, the show of violence from the War on Drugs we had but never even won, only families lost their loved ones. Second, the newly passed anti-terror bill that let's them detain a person from only mere suspicion and no repercussions if proven otherwise. Third, the shutdown of a major channel network that is very keen on questioning the president's action throughout his career, the network was investigated and was proven that they are legally "clean" but was still shut down because the majority of the hearing agrees with the president, or atleast they fear him. As a young teen seeing this monstrosity of a person that relies on feelings rather than statistics and data to rule a country, it devastes me...

[@alexanerose4820]

Meh if something doesn't work try something different. I haven't heard much out of the previous presidents of the country so that means they were rather ineffective or something. Oh well better action then inaction

[@LilVeehive]

Yeah, I thought of the Philippines too while watching this video. On how the "innocent until proven guilty" isn't going to work anymore. And the President just straight on ignoring Article 3 or Human Rights just so he can do his campaign against drugs and not even doing anything to possibly stop the current pandemic from becoming worse but kept on pushing to have ABS-CBN end. He was pretty violent before even becoming a president, publicly shaming people who did crimes and such not caring about their rights as well. As if he was trying to show people that he has power.. huh.. that people shouldn't do any crimes or else they would be publicly shamed for the whole country to see. Then he still became president even doing that.. people believed he has power, and indeed he have.. but he's using it in an inhumane way. Not totally inhumane, just violating human rights. He definitely has an iron fist. P. S. I'm sorry if this is long, I'm just slowly realizing all of this while typing it.

@@transgenderequality979 the president has prioritized other issues like shutting down a media company, passing a law with vague and problematic descriptions, changing the name of an airport, and so much instead of actually solving the issue of the pandemic.

@@SasukeUchiha723 Really, VPNs are kinda not very useful at hiding much... It hides a few things from your ISP, but someone tracking you online has way more available to them to do it than just your IP address... All the things that your device logs about your activity, all the things the web application logs, your user account, and then there's also cookies which tons of websites are using... And if you make it look like you live in Germany going by your IP address, but all your googling is about local places in New York City then it'd be pretty clear to a person looking at it that you probably live in New York City...I'd suggest watching Kitboga's video on it all... And if you ever don't use a VPN to hide your location (i.e. being logged into something on a wifi network on your phone which doesn't have the VPN on it) then you're whole hiding your location thing with a VPN has been totally for nothing...

This option would also fit with the hidden theme that the Far Cry tends to make your victories in games costly. If you survive to the end of a far cry game, you're scarred for life and the game world you have been playing in is usually worse off then when it began. Even the secret endings usually involve selling out to the games enemies before the game even begins. In fact, based on the everything I know about the games, I would say that not only will you play as the son, there will probably be three endings. A secret one where you join your dad and bypass the game altogether, a "good" one where you overthrow your father and the rebels take control, but they will make everything worse, and a bad one where you take control of the country, betray the rebels, and keep the regime in charge.
