It’s kind of a shame that the pistol anarchists weren’t really a faction.
All the groups the game marks as ‘official’ factions are all pretty horrible and I’d rather see a london without any of them.
It does make sense though, the anarchists just like they would be in real life are concerned with looking after their own sector and are wise enough to realise than going outside of that would stretch them too thin.
Still, it would be nice to work with perhaps a coallition/federation of anarchist groups who don’t want to control but genuinely improve london which all of the existing groups only want to do through control.
I’d really like an alternative to outright violence for revenge or control in these games. Only using it as a last resort or like a scalpel rather than an army of guns.
And this is why commercial social media and the overarching idea that violence is a good way to solve most problems are both bad ideas.
It says something that folks reach for that instead of learning how to be calm about such things and tend to be supported for such behaviour instead of told it’s not a good idea, even worse that they never take such things down once posted, often.
All part of the patriarchal, oversharing that the internet loves.
