  • Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here, and here’s one from 2024) so it’s not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.

    There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.

    And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.















  • Metal Gear Solid 2 plays out like this. Spoilers below but it came out in 2001 so whatever

    The bad guy is a former President that knew his job was just as a figurehead, nothing more. He found out the hard way that even his orders came from a cutout.

    He recruited “terrorists” to take the sitting President “hostage” so they could “force him” to detonate an EMP over the east coast. The plan is to dismantle the shadow government (actually AI) running the government/censoring public opinion and hopefully free the country

    You play as the wide eyed idealistic special forces infiltrator, trained heavily through VR and sent to “rescue” the sitting President from the “terrorist leader” and learn that everything you know is wrong and you were given orders by the AI all along
