    A good example of the system turning the message on its head while making a good profit. Students of history will easily recognize this e.g., with similar twisted films made about the movement in the 60's (not withstanding some fictional and real fringe examples e.g., the unibomber, the weather underground, RAF, etc.). Accordingly, I would not be surprised to see the bigger capitalist create some fictitious incidents similar to the video game in order to crush the movement, nor some real frustrated fringe individuals carry out similar acts as the politicoeconomic crisis of capitalism spins further out of control. That is the danger of wanting or trying to beat the capitalists at their own game - i.e., playing politics.
