If there's one thing that I love, it's showing the tolerant left who's boss. Tolerate this oil getting stolen again, bozo, which is why I like propaganda. Why build a good argument when you can just portray yourself as the Chad omni benevolent USA and the opposing countries as maniacs with wife Peters? Growing up with Call of Duty, I always thought it tried to spread the idea that war is bad, violence sucks, civilian casualties, who wants it?

But this franchise has proven to be the imperialist JK Rowling of firstperson shooters, which is very scary considering it is one of the bestselling franchises of all time and primarily appeals to young men. Yeah, believe it or not, Call of Duty has frequently and shamelessly rewritten history to deliver an Americentric message. Along with that, Activision has worked with horrible people to spread their right-wing propaganda and unsurprisingly has collaborated with the United States military on numerous occasions for the accuracy of who they write the enemy forces as in their campaigns.

And when I'm done laying out the evidence, it'll become clear why so many Call of Duters are toxic glaze AI and by CP? So, what separates Call of Duty from other violent video games like Grand Theft Auto? Why am I making the claim that Call of Duty is western pro-war propaganda? Propaganda is a form of communication used to push somebody into an agenda and evoke an emotional response rather than a rational one. Propaganda can be found everywhere, but especially entertainment like video games.

Call of Duty is such blatant United States glazaganda, it's almost comical. The villains in Call of Duty mainly feature Russia, the Middle East. Hell, sometimes if they're creative, Russia and the Middle East, like how in COD 4, you find an Arab nuke on a Russian ship. These games go tooth and nail to present every other country as literally Hitler and the United States as Earth's mediator. And when given the opportunity to maybe, just maybe, acknowledge the chaos that the United States of America enacts on the less well-off. >> Nobody likes war.

There's no good guys. We do what we have to. Basically, every opposing country seems to always be plotting against the United States, sometimes even working together to do so. And whenever there is an American who is the antagonist, like in Modern Warfare 2, it always falls under the bad apple trope. like General Shepherd being a small part of the military so it doesn't take away from the players American hero fantasy.

These games are clearly US military shareholder bait and the writers are so obnoxious about it. >> We we want to present the different perspectives. We don't want to say that one of them is correct. >> We don't want to say that one OF THEM IS CORRECT. >> WELCOME TO THE ROOF OF THE >> We don't want to say that one of them is correct. Where do we draw the line? >> You draw the line wherever you need it, soldier. At the end of the day, someone has to make the enemy scared of the dark. >> A we [ __ ] Who the >> Let's take Black Ops 2 for example.

Some people may not know, but that game featured a real ex-American lieutenant where he played himself. Oliver North was a lieutenant colonel who while under the Reagan administration secretly and illegally sold missiles to Iran and then used that money to fund a right-wing rebel group in Nicaragua called the Contras that was going up against its socialist government. He did this because since the Contras were fighting a leftist government, this would help during the Cold War in America's plan to eradicate communism.

Afterwards, he shredded the documentation to cover up the conspiracy yet still got caught. Despite being caught red-handed, accused, and a felon, he was technically fighting against the evil socialists. So, they let him off the hook. Since then, Oliver North was the main host of the Common Sense with Oliver North radio show, where he would discuss right-wing politics and regularly appeared on Fox News. Anyways, Activision decided to use him of all people as a consultant for Black Ops 2 and features him in a cut scene where he is presented as Lechad AMERICAN COLONEL.

WHY HIM, BRO? Even at the time of the game's release, critical reception was taken aback by this development decision. And Call of Duty continues to do stuff like this, that makes you wonder, what are the writers trying to say? Because when the developers claim he helped make the game authentic and then portrays a real competent army as maniacs with wife beers in the first mission of the game, it comes off as, "We want to say that one of them is correct." We are direct.

Pedaling backwards for a second though, remember when I was talking about how America was trying to end the spread of evil, dirty communism? Well, in Black Ops 1, you, the player, directly participate in the Vietnam War for a bit. During these missions, you mow down endless swarms of faceless Vietnamese soldiers. And these people are depicted as ruthless, forcing Mason and Woods, two of the main characters, to play Russian roulette with each other while extracting information from them. >> You no talk play.

Outside of cut scenes though, these people ruthlessly engage with the player, screaming in Vietnamese and desperately charging at the player like animals. This is how Call of Duty to this day presents the opposing forces. In Modern Warfare 2, the game second mission features a woman in a hijab attacking the player unexpectedly out of grief and hatred while the villainous Arab dictator on the screen beside her chants about how they're going to eradicate the West.

And earlier on in that mission, a suicide bomber attempts to kill you. It's not that this stuff doesn't happen in real life, but America certainly is not as noble as Call of Duty presents it. >> I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just going to kill people. We're going to kill them. You know, >> they're going to be like dead. >> Black Ops 1 shows Mason heroically slaughtering those darn lefty communists.

But there is no mention whatsoever of the USA's arguably most impactful dent during the Vietnam War, Agent Orange. Agent Orange was a vicious herbicide and defoilant that the US military sprayed over millions of lush acres in Vietnam. This strategy naturally killed a bajillion crops so that the Vietnamese couldn't use the jungle as cover, but also eradicated primary food resources and caused a plethora of birth defects and health problems for the people of Vietnam.

And unfortunately, the effects of this operation still reign strong to this day. And the US is still pulling disgusting stunts like this in war. Like how this year they missile strike a girl's elementary school in Iran, killing around 170 people, most of which being children. But sure, these are just things that aren't acknowledged. At least Call of Duty doesn't take real US military genocides and frame them as other countries doings, right?

Before I go on to the next chapter, I want people to know that I'm not saying that Call of Duty should include a mission where you spray defoilant on civilians or anything. I just think that it's ridiculous to make an American power fantasy video game where the side that got hit the hardest in real life is portrayed as this savage evil entity while the United States the most powerful military in the world that continues to use that power to force its government's worldview on other nations gets to be represented as neutral heroic and doing what's right even if you have to well let's just say get your hands a little dirty in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 the eighth mission of the game features the highway of death where 20 years prior in the Call of Duty universe a tragedy occurred Russian soldiers were invading the fictional Middle Eastern country Urzakhstan.

And as civilians were fleeing the area out of fear, the Russian military bombed the highway, killing thousands of retreating soldiers and some civilians. Well, interestingly enough, the highway of death actually exists in real life. And the real history of the tragedy was that the Iraqi military under Saddam Hussein took control of Kuwait. And once the US military began liberating the city, the Iraqi military fled down Highway 80.

On Highway 80 were not just soldiers, but civilians, buses, and ambulances. Many of the fleeing soldiers were prepared to surrender as the United States, Canada, and everybody else fighting had mostly won the battle. Well, to win the conflict once and for all, the US and its allied forces bombed the [ __ ] out of the highway, killing around 2,000 civilians and soldiers. Call of Duty could have taken this event as a chance to write a nuanced Middle Eastern character who can't forgive America, but also didn't like the leadership of Saddam Hussein.

But no, they just had to rewrite history and continue [music] their nationalist United States versus the axis of evil narrative. Covering up your side of a massacre to avoid accountability is one thing, but in this same game, they completely rewrite a realworld failure to continue the Chad America fantasy. In 2012, an American outpost in Benghazi was attacked by Ansar al-Sharia, a local militia group. Air support couldn't arrive on time because it was just too far away.

Although, there is a popular right-wing conspiracy that high-ranking officials Hillary Clinton and Obama actively called off air support, but multiple investigations came up with no evidence. Basically, it was just too far away. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, though portrays this event as a victory for America. They defend the embassy. They drone the terrorists that try to suicide bomb them. And the mortars that killed two US soldiers in real life are wiped out by the morally green protagonist, God bless America.

They win every freaking time. Modern Warfare 2019 is just one of the many examples of Activision's sloaganda machine. And the following entry in the series, Black Ops Cold War, has a quote that basically spells out the developers biases. Some of us will cross the line to make sure the line's still there in the morning. Very noble. very noble when the side saying that is portrayed as the good guys who break the law for the greater good.

They care about the people which is why they torture, why they commit war crimes, why they invade. But when the other side does it, it's to take our freedoms. This is unapologetic United States propaganda, especially when the Soviets in that game are portrayed as complete sociopaths. That's only aspiration is to see the United States fall. Sometimes the villains in COD aren't even rational enemies of the USA. Like, okay, I can't even talk about Call of Duty Ghost with a straight face.

So, basically, in this game, Venezuela goes to war with little innocent baby Israel, which the United States obviously defends. Venezuela eradicates the Middle East oil market, which lets Venezuela rise to power from their own oil. And then with that power, they attack the United States. Like betraying Israel and the US as a victim and Venezuela as the bad guys in one [ __ ] game. Thankfully though, the new modern warfare doesn't seem to be villainizing the Middle East or Europe.

They're just, oh, they're going after Korea. Now, in politics, I believe that the worst way to influence people is to manipulate their biases and spread misinformation. I saw a meme on Reddit the other day that appealed to my views, but was so far from being accurate. Palestine has killed thousands of Israelis. That's true. However, Israel has killed over roughly 150,000 Palestinians since the 1940s. That is still a big number.

But saying millions is ridiculous and just unethical because the second we start to inflate our arguments like the conservatives did with Iran having nuclear weapons or how Charlie Kirk's kids were right there, we get disregarded for being misleading. And it's not like 150 plus thousand people is a number to scoff at. Unfortunately though, the right is kind of brain dead and falls for [ __ ] like this all the time. So, you don't need to correct information to influence them.

Do you guys hear about the guy from India who ran an AI generated mega Instagram account that spread anti-immigrant proTrump propaganda and made thousands of dollars a month from Republicans who thought it was real, but he tried the same thing with the left and they instantly recognized it as AI. Now, I could go on and on about the content of these games and how they try to influence the people playing them, but what about the views of the creators?

What about the franchise itself? Call of Duty developers routinely work with the United States military to consult military culture, guns, and the potential future enemies of the United States. The franchise gives back to the military through the Call of Duty Endowment Charity, which donates to veterans getting out of the military in hopes that they can start a new normal civilian life. There's a clear relationship between Call of Duty and the military, which is why there is so much glaze in their campaigns for the US.

And the military actually had multi-million dollar plans on sponsoring Call of Duty Z Sports matches and placing enrollment ads through Call of Duty Mobile, but the plans got cancelled after the infamous sexual harassment bombshell came out of Activision Blizzard. Beyond a direct relationship with the US military, Call of Duty in right-wing fashion also uses a lot of generative AI now. Sure, in the artwork, but also in its algorithm.

Activision has confirmed they use machine learning to track player engagement, among various other things behind the scenes. This franchise is cheeks, bro. And no matter how much inclusivity they include in their games to appeal to a centrist crowd, there is no doubt in my mind that Call of Duty is a right-wing sleeper product meant to push fence sitters into the world of circlejerking the USA. Imagine a Call of Duty where you're playing as the US military.

Realize later that the terrorist you were fighting was actually a militia for a rural community that America was trying to drive out for their oil. And then you and a small group of military rejects group together to assassinate the president of the United States. I I don't know, man. I just they got to do something different, man. What do you guys think about all this? Has Call of Duty convinced you to homeschool your kids and send your welfare checks to Israel?
