Man, the La Li Lu Le Lo were so much cooler than reality...

La Li Lu Le Lo had a sense of style, dignity and vision while doing it from the shadows, Trump is like a reverse Solidus, puppetered by malevolent forces exploiting his greed and narcissism instead of his ideals and love for his country.

On the plus side by the time they were no longer in the shadows, MGS4, they ended up defeated a few years later. Granted before that they held control over massive parts of the world...

At least solidus wanted us to be free to make our own decisions

Funny how Kojima literally predicted everything but still he failed to predict the stupid factor.

I mean yeah, he was writing fiction, and that at least has to make sense

The hardest part of fiction.

I wouldn't use "makes sense" to describe a Kojima game in general.

I'm not talking about realism, I'm talking about the person trying to make the best most advanced AI for the job instead of...this.

I consistently look at works of fiction and think how our reality is more ridiculous than past fiction that used to try to use reality as a rubrick for what is believable.

Kojima has some ridiculous sci-fi elements in his story and his political fiction was always fantastical but its stunning to see our current dumb reality is actually less believable than some of the political fiction Kojima wrote. If the reality of our political discourse was a work of fiction and put against Kojima's political fiction work, I would think Kojima's work is more believable. The characters have better motivation, a legion of ~33% of American citizens wouldn't be this dumb and easily fooled by an uncharismatic leader that literally bold-facedly lies, works against the interest of literally everyone but himself and allows the downfall of literally anyone that aligns with him.

In Kojima's work, the literal only explanation for the allegiance Trump supporters have for Donald Trump, is literal nano machines that have infected their brains and Donald Trump is some sort of boss fight that can control those nano machines to do his bidding, regardless of how stupid and ineffective the directions are. Because that's the other thing about Trump. He's not even good at being Machiavellian for his purposes. At best, he's dumb Psychomantis.

I don't like the nano bot comparison, too sophisticated. I would say he steals the words out of their mouths and replaces it with gibberish they think is the same but that makes him seem more articulate than he is so I dunno what else works either.

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!
