  • Black Ops zombies was very weird. I understand JFK, Nixon, and Castro because they are all easily identifiable with the Cold War to the teenage audience of 2013. But then they have Robert McNamara? DoD Sec and former Ford Exec as one of the playable characters. Who knows the name McNamara and who else can recognize them by face? Ho Chi Minh would have worked better, but they definitely could not have him fight alongside Americans and retain DoD funding. Were they too cowardly to have Khrushchev? It was about the Cold War and there wasn't a Russian, that's weird, especially since there was so much Space Race stuff in that game. Zhukov they could have gotten away with, it was a game about killing Nazis. Zhukov was the Nazi fighter and in American discourse Soviets get a pass for killing Nazis. Mao would of course be too based as well.

    Consider that the main cast of the Nazi Zombies had a Nazi scientist and an Imperial Japanese soldier.

    Anyways CoD zombies was really fun for the time and I really enjoyed the Soviet space base episode. In hindsight it's very funny that "Soviet Russia" level literally started in black and white, but you could kill zombies with a fucking sickle so that's worth it.











  • Liberals cannot comprehend that their own media institutions are free from bias. They can demonize Fox News and any foreign press, but they never think too critically about their own. I think because if you admit "the news media I consume is ideologically in favor of the status quo and frequently manipulates public opinion," then you admit you've been fooled. They need to believe the smartest people are in charge, otherwise they themselves will feel stupid. And if you have material comfort, then there's no reason to challenge the status quo if you have a constant barrage of media telling you how bad "the other side" is.
