    isn’t the jingoism act the gta equivalent of the patriot act? i guess rockstar foresaw that it would be taken further.

    fun fact: Nooses ICE equivalent is called &quot;PIA&quot;, this was a satirical way to say ice was a &quot;pain in the ass&quot; (PIA)

    It&apos;s a very interesting take on noose but the thing that gets me is how accurate the satire was in GTA 4 I thought with satire you&apos;re supposed to make fun of something by creating a caricature of it not scarily hit the nail on the head two decades in advance 😂

    It just occurred to me that the constant fight against terrorism but complete lack of actual terrorists or news reports about terroists may be a jab at security agencies constantly claiming terroists is more prevalent than it actually is.
