Amazing, that is a perfect description of what is happening. Ubisoft are typically super "woke", how did this even make it into the game?

It looks like they're doing a final strike against the remaining libertarians, portraying them as what the authoritarian left actually is doing.

Will the 'opposition' like the Proud Boys get angry and realize they are also pawns?

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

I wasn't trying to disprove an argument, just pointing out that multiple groups are being used.

Which side is getting millions of dollars from Democrats and which side is a rag-tag group of misfits?

Regardless of their funding or organization, multiple parties are being used to further an agenda.

Nope, this whataboutism is bullshit. You support the little guy and attack the powerful.
