CNET Australia - Anders Breivik, video games and the militarisation of society.
Both critics and supporters of games and gaming, it seems, are unable or unwilling to address the big picture: that Western societies are undergoing a process of militarisation.

Militarisation is the social process through which societies are organised in ways that allow for the production of violence. According to the feminist writer Cynthia Enloe, militarisation describes a process through which individuals come to view militaristic ideas and military needs as being significant and the norm.

mandatory service needs a mandatory benefit and also mandatory agreement with govt policies

it may work for small countries, but not for large ones completely enmeshed in the bullshit rape and pillage economy

its basically a pipe dream, like most utopian ideas

the real problem is people - they cant hack.. they are not really much different from apes when it comes to big picture thinking, long term planning, objective reasoning, etc. .. still way too concerned with eating, sleeping, fucking, territory, etc - thats really all it boils down to




Go forth, and kill!
