Let me just remind everybody that Bioshock is a computer game, its plot is fiction, and it constitutes no evidence whatsoever tht a real-life scenario that start the same way would end the same way.

Sure, it is obvious when spelt out, but it is less obvious when it is a game of implications.

Agreed. It’s become a bit ridiculous when “but the game/movie/Netflix series showed that it can’t work” becomes an argument that is taken seriously.

Plenty of people defer to social parables like Atlas Shrugged or Animal Farm.
