"Major Video Game Studio Depicts Right-Wing Militias As Terrorists (VIDEO)"
Ever since the 1990s, during Bill Clinton’s presidency, it has been common knowledge that the militia movement in America is a time bomb waiting to go off. It’s also common knowledge that everyone is supposed to pretend that it isn’t. The media is complicit in this in that every act of violence stemming from right-wing extremists is labeled an ISOLATED INCIDENT. Any suggestion that the atmosphere of hate and fear the right specializes in contributed in any way at all is met with howls of protest. Even when the person carrying out the violence specifies he picked his target because of right-wing rhetoric, it’s taboo to actually blame the right for it. Still, the vast majority of political violence and violent rhetoric emanates from the right. We all know it. We’re just not supposed to say it.
Well, Ubisoft, one of the top video game companies in the world, has decided to just go ahead and say it anyway.
Due out next year, Rainbow 6 Patriots is poised to set off a firestorm on the right. In it, you head Rainbow 6, an elite multinational team of soldiers tasked with fighting terrorism across the globe. Previous games had players fighting Russian splinter cells and Islamic Fundamentalists. This time, however, the target is an anti-government right-wing militia calling itself the True Patriots. Alex Jones’ head will most likely explode when confronted with such a scenario, even if it’s only a video game.
