There's something interesting in potentially BEING the agent of state terror in post-cyberpunk works like Ghost In The Shell. I don't trust games exploring those concepts though, it'd be a hard needle to thread. I guess Spec Ops The Line managed to, so it isn't impossible. It helped that in Spec Ops you're killing American soldiers AND suffering a mental breakdown AND dropping white phosphorous on citizens all while being profoundly uncool so chuds can presumably not get a fascist rise out of it.
