It hooks them up to a VR simulation of 1950’s america and they’re the abusive husband to a hot wife and two kids. Racism is alive and well and the USA and white people by extension run the world.

They can never leave, much like the matrix they’re locked into the simulation for life but it’s more humane than wholesale genocide because let’s face it, a lot of people in the USA deserve it.

    What if we’re already in that simulation and it’s been 70 years so the chuds are still trapped? What if it really is the Immortal Science so the virtual simulation children turned out to be commies anyway?

        Yeah memes aside, the “NPC” shit is cover for fascism and justifying the murder of the out-group. Reactionaries are creatively bankrupt, so all they can do is appropriate. In this case, they took stuff from The Matrix (red pill, simulation, etc.) that was an allegory of capitalism and observations of social constructs (gender especially).

        It’s ironic how they view others as “NPCs” when they’re so easily programmed by outrage while being incapable of producing meaningful art.
