Also the only really smart critique in a movie of violent video games which is not that they make kids violent but that the military would use gaming to recruit kids and the intentional blurring of gaming and drone warfare would intentionally blur war. bsky.app/profile/maxkriegervg.bsky.social/post/3mdjyds45us24
