So, I was reading up on different forms of Government earlier today (no reason in particular). I came upon Totalitarianism, which I already knew about. However, today, my mind suddenly linked Runescape (which I played when I was a lot younger) with it. Then I thought of every other MMORPG. They're all a virtual world where Totalitarianism is in charge, right? So what if they were created to prepare the younger generations for a real-world scenario where a Totalitarian government is in control?
I'm going to use Runescape/Jagex as an example because it's the one I know the most about.
- They control and censor every piece of reading material
- They silence (Mute or Ban) every person who doesn't abide by 'The Rules'
- No advertising any websites, No offensive langauge, No talking about Macro software etc.
- They have the beginnings of their own religion. The three Gods, Zamorak, Guthix and Saradomin. They have started to write something heavily disguised as a story, which could easily be turned into a bible of sorts for the games very own religion.
Anyway, some people might say "stfu its just a game".. Well, as I've said, What I'm actually saying is that it's been created to get people used to the idea. What if it's just being planned to slowly phase in a Totalitarian government?
Well, this is my first post in this forum, and I've never actually had an idea for a conspiracy theory before. If this just seems completely ridiculous, please structure your arguments properly.
