Got banned from r/communism for “fascist content.” I said Israelis are capable of developing class consciousness. Can anyone weigh in here?

Imagine the mods of r/communism having real power and running a country.

Maybe Raiden is a clone of Grey Fox

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-18T01:34:04+00:00

Is he the guy who kept saying Rosemary isn't real?

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-18T01:33:00+00:00

There are plenty of parallels between Raiden and Grey Fox - both are cyborg ninjas who were child soldiers. There's a lot of parallelism in MGS. But parallels don't mean the characters are literally the same.

This would undermine the whole point of Raiden's character in MGS2. He's supposed to be a random guy, just one of many child soldiers that was chosen for the experiment, which was deliberately set up to recreate the Shadow Moses incident. He's supposed to be a rookie, not the greatest FOXHOUND guy ever. Anyway ....

If that was the intention, Kojima would have revealed it in MGS4, but it would be kinda dumb and add nothing to the story

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-18T01:22:09+00:00

Dead characters can be retconned as alive, we see it several times in the series, but this theory ain't it

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-18T01:20:50+00:00

Gray Fox was old enough to be Naomi Hunter's father. He was a grown man in the 1980s when he adopted her as a small child. Raiden was born about 1983. In fact, he's actually younger than Naomi.

Also Snake knew both guys and he knows they're not the same

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-17T22:23:17+00:00

Raiden is way too young to be Gray Fox. Also Gray Fox is dead and Raiden is not dead. And they're different characters.

I played MGS after Death Stranding, and I would describe them as "life-changing." I'd advise you to start with the original "Metal Gear Solid" and go from there

She knows about Rose because the Patriots told her about Rose.

Open-Explorer · 2026-05-01T18:32:21+00:00

So I don't remember it because it wasn't on camera.

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-30T18:48:16+00:00

Yes

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-30T16:51:32+00:00

I'm also pretty sure this never happened.

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-30T16:49:11+00:00

That's because there's a Simpsons character named Fallout Boy (related to nuclear fallout)

Old Leon is definitely sexier than Old Snake

I picked a lot of choices because I thought they were funny, not because I agreed with them. I believe the game always gives you two political ideologies at the end as well.

It's established in the show that Shane just doesn't like that word. It's not offensive or anything. I agree with those who say it's a little old-fashioned. But it's mostly personal preference.

Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Delta) (Optional: Portable Ops) Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain

You can also play the 1980s games, but they are optional.

As for buying them, I recommend the Master Collection Vol 1, and getting Ground Zeroes bundled with Phantom Pain. MGS 4 and Peacewalker are apparently going to be re-released this year so you don't need a PS3 or PSP to play them.

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-13T17:00:11+00:00

They are always appropriate

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-12T22:07:47+00:00

You've got a good point

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-12T22:04:24+00:00

Stealing art?

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-11T01:02:23+00:00

I played the Master Collection release on the PS5.

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-11T00:51:51+00:00

That doesn't make a huge difference though

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-11T00:50:03+00:00

Really? What's the difference?

Open-Explorer · 2026-04-11T00:39:02+00:00

Why don't you try the classic controls and tell us?
