ReElection: Who Said it? Metal Gear Solid or The GW Bush Administration?
from The Most Important Election Of Our Lives · host Ghost Coast Radio
Hey folks, this is a Rebroadcast of the Infamous Metal Gear Solid episode. It felt fitting given the inevitable abolition of the DHS. Let's revisit it's beginnings!____________________________________________________________________There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. But there is also. . .Metal Gear. Who said it? A Japanese Video Game Developer or a Conservative American Politician?: More importantly, who gave Hideo Kojima the Lathe of Heaven? We connect the dots between Metal Gear’s critique of American politics and the modern challenges of Living with the reality of those politics.
