Yeah, the jokes about your choices are a little contradictory. But the point is, even if you're not an active user, follower, luddite, whatever -- you still carry the meme. You recognize it. It is in your thoughts. They have you. And you don't even know it.
I recognized Che Guevara, and failed to recognize the symbol for anarchy. A guy at work was the reverse. It doesn't matter exactly what politics you hold -- just that a certain black outline was obvious. I don't think we have to stop careing, like the game suggests.
Many of the symbols were "Oh, that was on Star Trek" Purely ficticious organizations, yet I recognize their icon better than some real national flags.
Not that that's a bad thing, just shows how symbols propagate though a society, despite your best efforts to control your own mind.
Imperator, if don't copy any games, you will be happier at the end of the day. Or some other day. Or not. YMMV.
