Oh yea i 100% agree. The point i was making mostly was to how effective these things work. Not to deny they do not try to make them work.
We are dealing with a changed generation of people. All of us have grown in world where no major total war conflicts have happened as of this post. Mass media got the word out on how retarded the military is with films, satire and other forms of communication.
We have 40 years of people making shit about how much of a fuck up Nam was. From the personal to the institutional. Never mind the more recent wars.(Jarhead, Iraq war docs)
Military propaganda has to fight against that, not to mention the amount of anti-war message video games there are that are more popular and discussed in major gaming circle's than CoD.
CoD itself has been waning in popularity for years now. Only people i see even mention playing it are fat blacks who the Military could not use even if they tried.
The very idea of a total war ww3 shit is a meme for a reason. There would be mass revolts and 99.9% of the people drafted would be useless even as cannon fodder. It would be DEI for the military where you are going to be defeated from within, when fat Deshawn falls asleep at his post and an enemy wet work team blows up your ammo depot.
Propaganda is not magic. They have done studies that you need willing Soldiers to win on the modern battlefield.
To add to this.
With politics taking over so much of the public spaces online. Abject propaganda posters from WW2 saying we need you to fight the japs. Are completely ineffective now. The average person is now more aware of the world politics than ever before.
Other narratives than the US gov position spread at the same time. If the US gov says muramar al goatfukker is a big do do head and you need to go die in his sand dunes. People today have one question on their mind. Why? I can see what he is saying on the internet. I aint dying for that.
It was a lot more easier to control and execute propaganda, when the average man had to pick up a newspaper or switch to CNN.

"Violent comic books desensitizes people."
"Violent metal music desensitizes people."
"Violent horror movies desensitizes people."
Time is a flat circle and I'm a fucking prisoner of this planet.
Since people have the memory of a fucking house fly, I feel like I need to remind people that violent crime peaked in the 90's and has been dropping every year while video games continue to be more popular and mainstream, now becoming the most profitable entertainment industry. Also, funny that it had a steep drop starting around 2007, considered one of the best years for gaming.

At the basin of these arguments is that children are not all the same. Of all the kids who played that Slenderman game, how many were actually motivated to kill someone? How many actually did anything? How many people played Postal before going on a shooting spree? How about DOOM? DOOM caused Columbine!!!
It's important to remember always that Trauma is not a universal human experience, nor is it a validating one. Trauma is a direct consequence of psychological weakness. This weakness itself perpetuates into Victim Culture, which perpetuates Trauma ad nauseum.
I am not alone in having been allowed to indulge in the internet, video-games and horror movies from a young age. Millions and millions of men and women alive today, in their 30s and 40s exist all over the world, in various religious, social and political circles who all had similar experiences of the same means of entertainment. Whether you watched Transformers or G.I. Joe, played Halo or Call of Duty, Dungeons & Dragons or Football, preferred Star Wars or Lord of The Rings. It didn't matter, really, in the end. Retards & Psychopaths were always going to be Retards & Paychopaths.
The closest I ever got to experiencing this evil lie called "Trauma", which didn't really exist before Modern Man came about in his voluntarily frail form and then went back accused every moment of doubt and despair recorded to be somehow evidence validating his own weakness, was the ending of the first Alien movie. I think I was about 7-8 when I first watched it and I remember crying when the Xenomorph got jettisoned out of the ship. I was really hoping the cool monster would kill everyone. Unfortunately the real world doesn't work like that. It's just one of the lessons you learn when you do this thing called GROWING UP.

The idea soldiers don't shoot each other during battle displays a cataclysmic misunderstanding of the intrinsic nature of combat.
It's from a flawed study that nobody takes seriously anymore.

I think you will find 99.9% of people are just like you. Play video games where you commit war crimes on people and slit people up in various nasty ways. Then are just family men who don't have rap sheets. It has been an on going thing for the US especially to scapegoat media. Satanic panic, D&D, comic books, video games. All this bullshit since the 1970s. It is something to blame bad actions of bad people on. Because they have 0 other way of dealing with a sperg who shoots up his school. They want to think the world is safe from that, that someone can just easily flout the rules and commit a crime. That the only way he got the idea to do it, is because he saw a video game. It is the intellectually lazy way of dealing with the problem.
You see the news of Xi in China banning depictions of time travel in media being reported. You think heh how stupid. Then you look to the west and they are hand wringing crying that saying seeing some low cut tops and side boob will make you rape women.
I refuse bow to both sides on the topic of media influencing real life actions.

Not sure why Canadians would be opposed. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Americans should be opposed at anything but making it a territory

Videogames are the weakest aspect of liberal/ uni party propaganda for more then a few reasons, but my top picks are:
1 They make all the women ugly as shit.
2 They have to hold the audiences attention for more then two hours
3 The world has to make sense and the narrative has to accommodate the player. (When they insert stupid crap it takes people out of the experience and makes it glaringly obvious as propaganda.)
4 it has to be fun.
It sounds cliche but gamers really do smell bullshit ideology and lack of talent
MILEs away
I remember I used to get scared of minor shit too. The sensation of being alone made playing something as vanilla as metal of honor ( at 5 or 7 years? Shit I'm old) really scary.
My recommendation is you dont want kids playing stuff in first person. Something like the early WW2 call of duty games are ok, because you got a bunch of AI buddies on screen, but don't make your kids play shit like doom until they get to middle school.

Horror games stay with you when your little. You literally have no frame of reference for anything and the fear is just overwhelming. you don't even have to be playing for it to be traumatizing. Watching someone else play is enough to stick with you.

Also, the pretentious Hollywood elite spent over a decade telling gamers that all the games they loved weren’t art and shouldn’t be taken seriously, but now are telling us that the shit games nobody actually wants to play are the artist ones we need to care about. There’s no way to kill credibility fast enough than to say the Sony third person narrative games are better than the games with actual gameplay

Video games do not desensitize people to violence because if they did I think my thousands of hours in call of duty as a kid would've desensitized me to my first bodycam footage.

I, for one, am glad I became a world class golfer after playing that silly anime game with the thermonuclear golf balls 15 years ago.

The only reason it's lower now is because they want it to look lower on paper. It's what happens when you don't pursue criminals or prosecute them when you do catch them. It's a Democrat trick so you can deny your lying eyes.

I have a growing disdain for the "trauma" narrative that's becoming an annoying staple in online discourse. Every time something comes up involving children someone has to come on and say "oh but trauma and it's a sign your child has been raped". I think this shit comes from people who have had "traumatic" or abnormal in life that don't understand that 99% of children get up to and experience some pretty weird shit.. And that's normal.
Like okay yes. If you shove a "child" (what age are we talking about here?) into a reality simulator before they're capable of properly discerning reality and make believe, inject mind bending terror into it and force them to participate they'll more than likely have a fucked experience that stays with them. But so fucking what? When is the normal person doing this shit ever? It's a scenario that's so specific that it only exists because negligent parents are a thing and scientists need data to sell you vr headsets.
I have a 3 and 5 year old and they have no issues watching horror on TV with us. My daughter just asks questions about what she's seeing because she has zero basis to conceptualize what she's seeing. She doesn't know what a chainsaw is or why the guy is chasing the girl. She just giggles and goes "Daddy, why is that man chasing her? She fell and he got her." It's not real to her and she understands that she's watching it on a TV and what that means. We're not putting horror shit on for them, but if we're watching a clip or a video, or watching a game, our kids don't see that and wake up at night crying about it.
Violence specifically is something that isn't traumatic or formative until experienced in reality, either personally or through direct recordings. Unlike sex it's not something that can be properly simulated in a visual format, unless you have some serious issues or "trauma". It's like a weird version of the uncanny valley. I think our brains just understand when it's fake and when it's real, and if it's not real there's nothing for your brain to respond to. For me I watched the christ church shooting on here and that's always stayed with me. When I was young I accidentally downloaded a torrent of some dude having his head sawed off with a knife. The feelings I got from that I have never experienced from a game or a movie.
Sex/porn is on the opposite side of that spectrum. Just the visual alone is enough to stimulate and make you feel how you would during actual sex. I think that's why it's much more harmful or addicting to children, because they can see sex, not understand it and still be aroused.

"um actually the numbers are all lies because they don't agree with my world view and everyone is lying unless I agree with it in which case it's true and real"
I swear to god, if it were up to some people, the world would be covered in bubble wrapped and graham crackers wouldn't have corners.
