    The Far Cry series has a long history of charismatic and not so good leaders in their games. They are games with a deep dive into how bad leaders come into power... and how they stay there. Now, the games generally focus on bringing down these bad leaders - and they do a great job. I've learned a LOT and it follows many of the lessons we've learned throughout our own history on the subject. If we know how a bad leader stays in power, we can figure out how to take that power away. Get ready for a power lesson in Game Theory!

      MatPat is such a bourgeoisie sucker... I stopped watching the video exactly when he called “Radio Free Europe” a beacon of truth.
      This whole video is just CIA bullshit.
      TL:DR If we want to crush the oppressors, we have to educate the proletariat until the revolutionary spirit “clicks in” and people start disobeying the system to the point it collapses.
      MatPat doesn’t describe revolutionary tactics, he describes REACTIONARY tactics. Even if those are used for good, they are still not meant to do good.

    • @NoESanity
      @NoESanity 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      the thing is, that officers follow the same way citizens do. because even if you are a man in charge of a small army of 1,000 men, you are not going to stand up against the 30 other people who each have 1,000 of their own men that you think follow him. this is why dictators often have "turn in the rat rewards" because if one of those officers says the wrong thing around another officer or even one of his solders who really is loyal, his head will be on a pike. so the dictator stops speak through fear, and thus insures loyalty through fear.
      this is also why heros will often be killed, because if you give the people someone to rally behind, they can support the hero and see each other supporting the hero without directly saying they are against the leader until it's to late.

      This option would also fit with the hidden theme that the Far Cry tends to make your victories in games costly. If you survive to the end of a far cry game, you're scarred for life and the game world you have been playing in is usually worse off then when it began. Even the secret endings usually involve selling out to the games enemies before the game even begins. In fact, based on the everything I know about the games, I would say that not only will you play as the son, there will probably be three endings. A secret one where you join your dad and bypass the game altogether, a "good" one where you overthrow your father and the rebels take control, but they will make everything worse, and a bad one where you take control of the country, betray the rebels, and keep the regime in charge.

It hides a few things from your ISP, but someone tracking you online has way more available to them to do it than just your IP address... All the things that your device logs about your activity, all the things the web application logs, your user account, and then there's also cookies which tons of websites are using... And if you make it look like you live in Germany going by your IP address, but all your googling is about local places in New York City then it'd be pretty clear to a person looking at it that you probably live in New York City...I'd suggest watching Kitboga's video on it all... And if you ever don't use a VPN to hide your location (i.e. being logged into something on a wifi network on your phone which doesn't have the VPN on it) then you're whole hiding your location thing with a VPN has been totally for nothing...

    There was a massive overlooked elephant in the room that was missing in all of this. in FarCry 4, you aren't part of the resistance - you are tricked into doing the work for them. You were playing as an outsider that had no stake in how the rest of the place was ran. At the end, did you really overthrow an evil dictator, or did you just replaced who was dictating?
