For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.
Y'all are sleeping on copaganda games. Obviously you have stuff like the SWAT series, basically reinforcing action-movie copaganda of "If they weren't there the crazy lunatics would kill us all" where you fight multiple highly organized terror cells and crime syndicates. I do like it a little because it still expects you to go for nonlethal force and arrests and stuff, it at least gets around the usual "Well I had to shoot that guy because he mighta had a gun", and it is a very neat game ignoring all that. Probably the weirdest copaganda I've seen, at least based on the trailers, is Rebel Cops, which is about a mafia boss taking over a small town. Basically a rag-tag group of "real, honorable hero" cops do a guerrilla warfare against all the criminals and also the other cops who the mafia boss enlisted. Essentially the "bad apple" thing but as an entire game premise.
Swat is way better than one would expect. The focus on non lethal weapons and strict adherence to the law (rules of engagement) makes the game feel like fantasy. You essentially fail rounds on harder difficulties if you shoot someone with a gun that hasn't actually threatened you or a hostage. I head canon the games in that they take place after a communist revolution just based on you loosing if you kill a civilian.
Yeah I can definitely appreciate that. Also appreciate how all the terrorists end up being right wing, like one of the terrorist leaders you arrest canonically is wanted for bombing abortion clinics.
