Everything GW is saying describe our society as a whole. As a kid I truly never understand this because i was a kid but then after 10 years later after the game release on HD remaster that I slowly understand it but now another 10 years and i see the picture Kojima was trying to say, MGS3 is a great game but this right here is something of premonition, revelation, we need to give this game more praise than it should, this game has truly stand with the tides of time itself. I feel like that switch was needed to help people to understand the story that much deeper If you still don't want to see the full picture and still upset about Raiden switch to Snake then you are truly lost and shows how small minded you truly are.

I recall when Qanon came onto the scene back in 2017. As soon as the term 'the patriots' started being thrown around, MGS was the first thing I thought of - at first it really took me back & couldn't believe what I was seeing with my own eyes. I'm 34 now & still remember using dial up internet to get cheat codes for my Nintendo 64 games with AOL instant messenger being the only way to talk to friends outside of school etc.. Gen Z is too young to see what the internet has become, while our parents are too old. Take that a step further and x>75% of millennials are too ignorant to see what the internet has become & they are the ones who had the best chance at doing so. But, to say the least, it's fascinating watching this play out. Shout out to those who are watching the insanity of the world being live-streamed, while also keeping their emotions grounded & not being compromised. Thanks for making this video.

[@HakunonMatata]

It's quite tragic in a sense. Millennials were around when the internet culture was at it's infancy and arguably mostly 'innocent'. But much like many things human beings acquire for generations, we found a way to turn it into a tool and a weapon and none of us did anything to stop it or rather we were to ignorant to know what was happening under our noses. The internet in the mid 2000s and earlier 2010s is infinitely different from what it is now. And the more time goes on, the better MGS2 ages.

Kojima was at his creative peak for this game. Nothing held back. He hatched with Metal Gear, and then spread his wings with Metal Gear 2, and with Metal Gear Solid he began to fly. But with Metal Gear Solid 2 he reached new heights, heights of which that haven’t been reached since.

[@i_used_adblock_to_watch_this]

Well said. I totally agree! He kept adding to MGS2 also. We got substance with the VR missions, the exclusive PlayStation 2 skateboarding mini game, they making of documentary and also the document of metal gear solid 2 which allowed us to free roam anywhere in the map and inspect the 3D models using the game along with tons of other game assets. No other metal gear game got that treatment, and for good reason. Metal gear solid 3 was complete and utter disappointment of a video game. Can't stand it in fact.

The same goes for American Psycho and any similar media that has something insightful to show. This is all because people decide what to take with them, what they like, they will choose. It all depends on the eyes of our souls. If our eyes are dirty, then even the most holy phenomenon, will be considered dirty from us. Of course, there is always some funny moments to remember by but the most important thing is to remember the insightful and live by it. By taking what you like to take from conversations, people, topics, you prove that you completely miss the point and only want to make your life, by your own set of rules. It also references the concept of always blaming others and not taking responsibility, we don't want our little mask to crumble and show our true self.

This is a perfect edit adapted to it. The original name of this, is called Ideological Subversion, it's how context is created. First part of it is Demoralization, second is Destabilization, Third is Crisis, and lastly: Normalization. “What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.” "“They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.” "“As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fat-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.” - Yuri Bezmenov kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2q3p5x_qr2Diac

That happened before. This is nothing 'new'

[@ArgentWolf95]

@@troywright359 that's what i'm saying. Communists have been doing this for a long time. Current subversions are new advances in the philosophies and methods though, partly because of technology.

Can someone send this to Nina Jankowicz ? We literally have a Disinformation Governance Board.

Sounds like some kind of ministry.

My god, this game's script was written in 1999. Before social media, before smartphones, before the internet even became mainstream.

Okay don't take me as an apologist guys. But technically the patriots had the least kills and unnecessary deaths in the game. Thats what made me stop and wonder if they weren't just gaslighting us.

Got chills down my spine multiple times, even though I've heard this speech so many times. Adding some real-life footage and commonly used social media apps as talking images dramatically intensified the gravity of what the AI was trying to prevent; an eerie, contextless dystopia governed by "truth". Kojima and his team literally prophesized the future on a 2001 video game. Visionaries, all of them.

[@elloowu6293]

The game purposely featured snake in places where you play as Raiden in its trailers to add to the "propaganda" and "fake news" themes of the game. Absolutely genius

[@RedStar441]

We're in the flashpoint now boys.

[@socialexperimentable]

Convince me this scene wasn't just footage from mk ultra.

[@NeoMoonSevin]

Kojima scares me he was right all along even back then isn't til now these truths ain't so sci fi anymore

[@pmgrogersanderson9426]

I agree with the AI more. Context is needed more than concept.

[@Gunnumn]

Its crazy to think that this game franchise also has bipedal tanks and a woman giving birth during d-day.

So, everything Solidus feared, has actually come to pass?
