Not unless you want it to.

You gotta be kidding me. The game might try to reflect yourself through your decisions but it definitely doesn't promote anything especially communism. Tbh I was confused by the dev's gratitude for Marx during TGA until I actually play the game.

having no problems at all with communism i thought of the same as you but after some thinking i kinda get where the fear is coming from. I played this game around 100h mostly as a communist or an ultra liberal preaching that free market. however iam somewhat shy about diving into the facist side of the game. it goes against my personal believe system in such a strong way that i cant bring myself up to try it out even if its only a video game. i have no problems in murdering or stealing in RPG´s but i cant lean into that facist racetheory. guess its the same for the other ppl here on the post.

I don't know, man. This will not turn you into any more of a communist than reading something like harry potter would turn you into a wizard.

[Roshambo]

No but there is a good chance you will be a racist cop within the first hour of playing.

Because entertainment and things like that have much more control over your thoughts and personality than one would think.

A game or any other piece of entertainment isn't going to "turn you into" anything, or "control your thoughts". Not unless you didn't have any thoughts to begin with.

Hmmm I don't know about that. The CIA has already experimented with this plenty using media but I'm sure if I talk about it here I'd get banned lol It's pretty much a given that any entertainment you consume directly does things to your mind whether or not you realize it or not. Take modern rap music and the black community for a small example but I won't go any further than that for the same reason above.

So if a developer of the game goes onto an award show and directly references communism in his speech, that would make me think twice about wanting to play his game because I don't subscribe to the thought that a game developer should be informing how I should think, which would make your theory about me not having any thoughts of my own incorrect because I definitely think for myself. Yes, a lot of people need/have to be told how to think & behave. I am not one because I have my own thoughts obviously.

So use restraint like any other adult when confronted with knowledge, ideas, religious facts, or politics. If you have such a weak character to allow something so simple persuade you then that is a fault of your own ... You have free will, use it.

Same concept for video games making people murder and shoot others. Which has been dis-proven to an extent.

I've played plenty of games that involves killing others. I am not a murderer in real life, and never will be.

Not everyone's IQ level is the same. The fact that you haven't considered you could be being controlled by SOMETHING shows me you don't often think about what you are consuming so that says a lot. No you might not be a murderer BUT it normalizes those things in your mind, so potentially when you are in a conflict with someone your first thoughts could simply be to murder them or be violent towards them in general. Again the CIA knows the ins and outs of the human brain. They know what our triggers are and what is most malleable about the human brain. Look up MK Ultra, it was ceased to exist around the early 70s, but of course they are using the entertainment industry to keep their hooks into growing, and even mature human minds. The CIA still has extremely close ties with Hollywood.

The company BlackRock (arguably the most powerful company in the entire world) has ownership over most of the companies in the world and they definitely have a say in the agendas and messages in most entertainment these days. MK Ultra never ended, they just changed the method in which they use it.

bro this game shows nothing but despair of any kind of ideology: Revachole was monarcho-fascist, then communist, once close to ultra liberal and in game's modern days and nothing brought this city prosperity

[Alprx]

probably not. really...

This game isn't a psy-op, and I assure you that you aren't the CIA's targeted demographic for mind control.

Oh, but you might want to check your walls. They could be listening,

They are in your walls. They are in your walls. They are in your walls. They are in your walls. Scratch them out. Scratch them out. Scratch them out.
