Games can be so much more than an escape: they can inspire you to take action

Your heroics don't need to be limited to the virtual.

  • [Genuine] Can they also teach us how to escape cops, have good opsec and navigate the injustice system?

    • It depends on what you expect. Of course, most games - even with a leftist message - are more entertainment than learning tools, but there are hidden layers that are often dismissed: If you know how to organise a raid guild in an MMO, you have most of the tools to unionise your workplace. And most city builders are essentially "socialism simulators" which can teach you a lot about distribution of resources.

      These may not be the hardest lessons and replace real-life experiences, but they are also not nothing.
