Tonight we riot is propaganda and its not trying to hide it

Propaganda meant to discredit libertarianism. What do you expect for someone named Levine?

Political Animals is underrated (although it kinda sucks that the only voting system is popular vote. It would be more fun to play with different voting systems.)

That's absolute nonsense, you don't know what you're talking about. Bioshock 1 is specifically a criticism of Ayn Rand's Objectivism, not fucking libertarianism. Everyone knows this you just need to pay attention to the game.
By contrast, Bioshock 2 is a criticism of totalitarianism and the devs have said openly that the antagonist directly took influence from Karl Marx. So if you're claiming the game has some kind of political agenda against libertarianism in particular, then you're just a fucking moron.

Libertarianism has a lot in common with objectivism you fag. The first game demonizes anarchies-capitalism. They made it look like something outta Mad Max

Can it really be called slavery if they consent?

Nier: Automata, but it's really big-brain and if you don't have a great understanding of philosophy and conflict theory you're probably not going to understand it.

You must be a weed-smoking faggot.

Levine said in an interview that BioShock is about being Jewish and is somewhat of an analogy for Israel.

Reddit was libertarian in maybe 2011-2012. They’re corporate leftists now.

You're right, it's much worse. You can always breed more people but once the truth is lost, it's lost forever.

Indeed, libertarianism is a common theme of objectivism. However, by saying that the game is just propaganda against libertarianism, you really aren't doing it justice, and this is obviously a statement that is motivated by identity politics and bias. Like I said, Bioshock is a SPECIFIC criticism of Rand's political philosophy and not of libertarianism itself. You must remember that Rand's political philosophy is rather unique.
In any case, your retarded statement makes no sense, as Bioshock 2 exists as a scathing critique of authoritarianism. It serves as an effective counter-point to the radical individualism of Bioshock 1, and explores the oppressive regime of a police state that mascarades as a utilitarian, altruistic protector of the common needs of the many.
But I'm guessing you didn't play that game, because you were so assmad about the first game's criticism of Rand. Even if you did, it's obvious you totally missed the point of Bioshock 2 and totally ignored it's themes. What a fucking idiot.

They are liberals. Actual leftists are opposed to capitalism. Liberals are fence sitting centrists that only really help the right.
