“Actually, we got a message from the UN asking if we want to talk, in some form, about psychological defense against manipulation,” added Pilestedt. This might all sound like the game is getting a little too real, but he said the key was in finding the right tone and using the imagery in an almost educational way: “We do it all in fun and good spirits, and we actually try to get people to recognize the science of what is a totalitarian state. If you start wearing the same uniform as everybody else and do salutes constantly, you might be in a totalitarian regime.”
If you recognize it as satire, then I think you have nothing to worry about. If you view it as a goal…
I get the satire, but it’s more like the game is all about “saving democracy” and here we are just sitting around playing a game. We should be really fucking saving democracy right now.
Gimme that sweet 500kg IRL and democracy will be saved in 3 days
I feel you. My job feels pointless, I just want to yell at the whole company that we should stop and go protest or something… But IDK if that would even do anything
Oh in that respect understandable lol
