It was already happening in japland. You think it was prophetic but it was contemporary. He just extrapolated it to the west

>>713185460 (OP)
He wrote a bunch of non-sense and it happened to become true

>>713185736
it made too much sense to be just random non-sense
it can be reductionized to just being a derivitive of 1984 anyways. kojima was retreading what has already been done before but he did it in a way that actually turned out to be more genuine and a stepping stone into what 1984 could be if fully realized.
essentially he showed the preliminary stages

>You exercise your right to "freedom" and this is the result. All rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and value systems.
>Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large.
>The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is invalidated, but nobody is right.
>Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in "truth."
>And this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

If you think this is nonsense then I don’t know what else to say to you

It wasn't actually Kojima but Fukushima and then eventually Kojima had Fukushima sunk to the bottom of Tokyo bay to bury the truth

>>713185460 (OP)
He lifted the idea from somewhere else like most of his stuff. I don't exactly remember where tho, but I'm sure some anon knows.

>it can be reductionized to just being a derivitive of 1984 anyways
Absolutely not. 1984 was exactly the kind of controlling of content that JD denies. Creating context is not 1984. There is no preservation in being able to say we were always at war with eastasia, it is fundamentally opposite to 1984, for fuck's sake you niggers who compare EVERY FUCKING DYSTOPIAN NOTION TO 1984 HAVE NEVER FUCKING READ 1984

>>713186920
its two sides of the same coin you poptart

Kojima isn't a prophet he's just well read unlike most retards who play video games

>>713189240
being well read in this era is genuinely prophet like
no one reads anymore, the general population is arguably dumber and dumber as the generations come

my gf said this was embarrassingly midwit and I agree

ENJOY GENERATING YOUR AI WAIFUS RAIDEN
ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS

people that are seen as soothsayers aren't predicting the future. they're just talking about current issues and retards 15 years down the line don't realize that it's always been this bad.

>>713185460 (OP)
Maybe you should start paying attention you dumb retard

theres no "past" or "future", its the same slave system since forever. I can predict 1000 into the future, everyones gonna be poor, depressed and lonely.

>>713185460 (OP)
>so accurately
missing a ton of details. it was a half-baked prediction
>he didn't even envision deplatforming
>he didn't mention the tyranny of (((KYC))) and (((AML))) (aka excuses to dox absolutely everyone who trades online)
>he didn't predict internet filters for (((harmful and extremist content))) (aka what the guvmint doesn't like)
>he didn't even touch on (((copyright law))) being one of the biggest cancers in history
>he didn't predict geoblocking
>he didn't predict echo chambers and hugboxes (completely missed the draconian (((ToS))) and (((CoC))) bullshit, and how anything considered wrongthink may get you banned)

whar mgs2 warns for has been happening for a few years now irl

Fake people discussing bullshit topics with false information all to have power over information flow.

You do not want to know how many bots are already on 4chan and only few notice it, especially on /pol/

>>713189427
your gf is a man

>>713185460 (OP)
That's not hard to do. I'm retarded (I think) and I could think it up. Literally just look at how the world works and take technological, and informational realities to their logical conclusion. Maybe use a dash of schizophrenia. It's not on the level of prophesy, it's not *shocking*.
>>713189668
He's a mason?

>he didn't predict echo chambers and hugboxes
"Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking whatever "truth" suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large. "
I'll concede on everything else but that sounds like an echo chamber to me

>>713190925
read the shit in the parentheses you skim-reading faggot

>>713185460 (OP)
They were happening for decades hell someone who just has a passing interest in world foreign policy would have been able to “predict” that in the 90s

>>713185594
It was happening in the west too, hell it had been happening ever since the first usenet groups.

>>713190687
> hey, is the guy that

> a freemason?

And those are only the tip of the iceberg. Once you Analyse his games, they are filled with occult and free masonic shit.

He read pynchon

>>713185460 (OP)
Everything happening today is written in Mein kampf, don't ask me i didn't read it

>>713185460 (OP)
He had an cynicism towards technology and new media that was largely alien during the late nineties (But fairly normal nowadays). Combined that with him having at least a working knowledge of the concept of memes and it's not that hard to see how he managed to call it.

>>713185460 (OP)
Do you think the Internet came out after MGS2?

The secret is if you leave it vague enough people can shoehorn it into anything. Nothing he said was profound for the time and was just a mix match of already popular topics going around

>>713191887
I wonder if he's played any of the games or if its just his son who clued him in.

>>713185460 (OP)
This is Paul Eiding's best role. It's actually funny how hard this scene blew up some years ago.

>>713187807
If you're going to compare this to a dystopian novel that your average layman is aware of, then at least use Brave New World
>Everyone is sedated on pharma drugs and barely resembles a functional human
>Just cogs of a social machine who will happily accept anything they're told by the companies that control their lives
>Any dissidence is met with apathy or social shunning
>The only crime met with serious punishment is regressing back to the "savage native" by rejecting the modern establishment

>>713189240
This. And it wasn't only Kojima writing all this shit ffs, that's just reddit who thinks that.

>>713189427
No, this is the type of thing midwits hate because they saw their favorite youtuber change their opinion about the game

>>713185460 (OP)
Maynard James Keenan predicted the Covid pandemic and antivax retards. Totally ignore the fact he’s been linked to the CIA and West Point.

this shit's been standing on the horizon and in our midst since the 50s at the least.
With Marshall McLuhan's works as a good entry point.

>>713195353
That's the thing about calling certain things being aimed for midwits. Midwits are just normalfags, and the whole point is that they adhere to a status quo and don't actually formulate ideas or opinions, they could both dislike or like something

>>713185460 (OP)
his vision was beneign compared to this dystopian shit we live in
