Whew, boy. I bet they're going to get some shit for this.
To me, this looks like pure optics. I bet once you play the game that the story will probably be incredibly sympathetic to the communist ideals, with the twist being that the capitalists were the bad guys all along.
I just can't see it going any other way in our current climate. Maybe I'm just being a pessimist, but I find it unlikely.
A stand-in is too subtle. They might just use the man himself, since Trump was alive during the '60s and '70s. Claim young Trump is a historical figure and therefore it's totes okay to have him as a Russian spy at 18 years old. It only took 53 years and the collapse of the Soviet Union for Drumph to enact his master plan.
Activision suddenly getting red pilled? Yeah right. After they sucked China dick and threw a blanket party for the Pro-Democracy movement in Hong Kong?

I don't think so. In a previous Black ops game they showed a Soviet Gulag and they are generally pretty scathing towards socialist/communist regimes and very pro-west.
That was awesome, but It seems like they're going hard with the Russian angle to appease the globalists, so it isnt quite as based as it could be. If they were calling out China and Soros, then id be amazed.
Do your remember when Medal Of Honor: Warfighter came out and they claimed that they had a bunch of missions that were based on real Special Operations missions, and they were... so much so that the unnamed military advisor/s got in significant trouble because they were leaking real classified operational information to the fucking devs to build levels in the game?
Can you fucking imagine if some crazy Defense Intelligence Agency veteran has been watching China expand it's influence into American institutions, is seeing the Democratic prop up a Communist Insurrection and decided, "Fuck it. I'm gonna do my own blowback. China isn't doing anything different than what the Soviets did in the 60's. What's Call Of Duty up to right now?"
See... this is the thing...
These intelligence agencies have been known to pull shit like this when there's some significant inter-departmental issue at play, or they're trying to catch enemy disinformation... which is undoubtedly happening at the moment with China. The President has been effectively waging an internal war with his own civilian intelligence agencies, but as I understand, the military intelligence agencies are more on his side because they see the threat from China as so great.
And I know they've done shit like that before. An agent at the National Reconnaissance Office secretly contacted Richard Feynman about the fact that NASA was conducting a cover-up for their own bureaucratic failures during the investigation of the Challenger Explosion. Military Intelligence sources may have been slowly leaking real secret information to the UFO community to track how secret military bases were being monitored, and if they were being infiltrated by real foreign spies, (to the point where they may have driven one 'UFO researcher' absolutely fucking mental by making him play the counter-intel game to hard).
If an intel agent were to leak material to a source which is explicitly not credible to the mainstream, like Alex Jones or Infinity Ward, they could leak real information without having to get through the amount of intelligence agency 'advisors' that are operating in the MSM.
We'll have to see, but I just wonder if there's a crazy DIA vet out there going, "I'M NOT GONNA LET THE COMMUNISTS WIN! I DON'T CARE WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO SUBVERT THE SUBVERSION! THE PINKOS MUST BE DESTROYED!"
As interesting as his theory is, let's chill with fantastic theories like that for now. It's so far "just" a clip of an interview that can be added last minute because some people thought it might fit their in game plot.
2017-2018? Yeah, it was pretty bad. Remember those were the lead up to the midterms and full on "Trump is running concentration camps for children and gassing families" along with Kavanaugh derangement syndrome, along with "March For Our Lives" moral panic on guns (the media was pushing and effectively promoting mass shootings), along with the height of the "Women's March" and the #MeToo movement.
In 2016 & 2017 it wasn't at all clear whether or not the Intelligence community was prepared to co-operate with the president considering how many CIA agents were tied to the crazy shit the Obama State Department had been doing. The State Department is effectively still in direct opposition to POTUS.
God, looking back on it, it's hard to even fathom how the media was able to fit 10-20 years of hysterical screaming in just 4.
GamerGate was only 6 years ago. It feels like it was 20.
Idk I think this is great when you consider a lot of the things he said. How can anyone hear the words "big brother government that promises all sorts of things" or however he puts it and not think of the Democrats? Yuri Bezmenov clips are always great things to share, but this is an opportunity to be spreading them around like mad. I mean, he literally namedrops prominent Democrat politician in Walter Mondale.
It's genuinely gotten to the point of being cliche.
...
At the same time, can we point out that the Bezmenov interview was with the same guy who you see as the narrator in those early John Birch Society videos?
I like how old JBS videos are slowly becoming mainstream. I don't think anybody saw that shit coming.
What if CoD is just struggling to maintain relevance and they are looking to appeal to a demographic which they've found out through research is already red pilled?
The left will claim he meant something else entirely. I already read a comment a few seconds into the comment section saying he wasn't talking about the US. His warning was literally to the US because he and people like him had already done it in other places.
I'll pirate first. Any major publisher game I do that anyway.
I pirated Doom 2016 and liked it so much I bought a copy even though I had mostly finished. And I pirated Prey 2017 and liked it so much that I bought both myself and a friend a copy.
If this ends up being real and not with a SJW twist I'll forget I swore off COD a few years ago and buy it. Hell, I'll even pay the $60 and I haven't bought a full price game in a few years now.
That's asking for a miracle though. There's a spin in there somewhere. I can't imagine Activision putting out a true-story cold war game without adding some leftist trickery. Unless hell has in fact frozen over and pigs are flying in a rainstorm of cats and dogs.

Bingo. This is marketing.
Activision suddenly getting red pilled? Yeah right. After they sucked China dick and threw a blanket party for the Pro-Democracy movement in Hong Kong?
If they're sucking Chinese dick this could just be another play to nurture more internal conflict within the USA.
I don't think so. In a previous Black ops game they showed a Soviet Gulag and they are generally pretty scathing towards socialist/communist regimes and very pro-west.
That was awesome, but It seems like they're going hard with the Russian angle to appease the globalists, so it isnt quite as based as it could be. If they were calling out China and Soros, then id be amazed.
Either way it will make people research Yuri Bezmenov and connect the dots themselves.
I mean honestly Bez is coming from a Russian angle, and its Cold War, so it makes sense.
What will be interesting is to see how many people go look him up after this, and put the pieces together.
You know...
Do your remember when Medal Of Honor: Warfighter came out and they claimed that they had a bunch of missions that were based on real Special Operations missions, and they were... so much so that the unnamed military advisor/s got in significant trouble because they were leaking real classified operational information to the fucking devs to build levels in the game?

Yuri Bezmenov, former KGB propogandist. The video and audio clips are taken from that interview.
Idk I think this is great when you consider a lot of the things he said. How can anyone hear the words "big brother government that promises all sorts of things" or however he puts it and not think of the Democrats? Yuri Bezmenov clips are always great things to share, but this is an opportunity to be spreading them around like mad. I mean, he literally namedrops prominent Democrat politician in Walter Mondale.
I think there was a Times oped a year ago or so that tried to use the Yuri interview to push their Trump/Russia collusion angle.
It's genuinely gotten to the point of being cliche.

Yuri Bezmenov in a CoD trailer.
Holy shit. That's 20 million teenage boys given a red pill right there.
my sister is 16. She only plays shitty walking sim horror games like outlast and Call of Duty.
I'm looking forward to the questions about communism. ?
What if it's the opposite direction?
What if CoD is just struggling to maintain relevance and they are looking to appeal to a demographic which they've found out through research is already red pilled?
The usual rule of "never pre-order" is still in effect.
Oh, abso-fucking-lutely. Ordering it because 'bezminov' would be fucking retarded.
Saying something happened which actually did happen now makes you red-pilled. That's the state we're in.
Well, Matrix' red pill is about seeing the reality for what it is, is it not?
The left will claim he meant something else entirely. I already read a comment a few seconds into the comment section saying he wasn't talking about the US. His warning was literally to the US because he and people like him had already done it in other places.
"Ne mozhet byt, they know! Shut it down!"
No female protagonist. I beg of you.
No way that's unintentional.
Oh shit, am I buying my first COD game?
I'll pirate first. Any major publisher game I do that anyway.
I pirated Doom 2016 and liked it so much I bought a copy even though I had mostly finished. And I pirated Prey 2017 and liked it so much that I bought both myself and a friend a copy.
IDK. I liked COD3.
If this ends up being real and not with a SJW twist I'll forget I swore off COD a few years ago and buy it. Hell, I'll even pay the $60 and I haven't bought a full price game in a few years now.
That's asking for a miracle though. There's a spin in there somewhere. I can't imagine Activision putting out a true-story cold war game without adding some leftist trickery. Unless hell has in fact frozen over and pigs are flying in a rainstorm of cats and dogs.
The makers of CoD know exactly what they are doing.
Redpills for all!
They have been giving hints for quite a few years now.
WHAT DO THE NUMBERS MEAN, MASON?
