Yeah but their aim was even worse than the other idiot. These nutjobs need to get their shit together; I've been successfully assassinated in political video games for a fraction of what the Orange Idiot's done to real people.

Look up how many attempts Hitler survived, ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The 42 attempts at assassinating Hitler ain't nothing to sneeze at but Fidel Castro would like a word. The CIA attempted to assassinate him 638 times.

How can this NOT mean that all CIA agents are like Mr. Magoo?

How do you fail at a singular task more than 600 times and still have the world think you're some fearsome spy force?

"Well, sure, he was knocked out 638 times, but those 2 decision victories sure were something... Greatest boxer of all-time!"

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

It makes sense if you think of them as extremely well-funded frat boys with a free pass to break laws.

They just kind of do shit, and if it doesn't work they keep trying until something sticks or they run out of steam. They get killed all the time.

It's still scary, but just a lot less cool.

The reason we think of them as hypercompetent masters of espionage is because that makes better movies, and also because the US government funds movies that make them look good.

Ya can do it in Kenshi, assassins creed, and Crusader Kings. Actually in Kenshi and CK ya can go far far worse than simple assassinations, I am the Cuck King all thine babies are mine!

Crusader Kings recently finally got its claws into me. Fun fact: the game DOES have a moral compass of sorts, because eventually, your incestuous off-spring can be too mentally handicapped to have further children with.

So it's not all bad.

Thats why you make a caset branch or four you can pull from.

I might be misremembering but Old Wolrd has something similar too, you can piss off the wrong child and they assassinate you

Did the guy even fire shots? From what I heard he was just in the area and carrying a firearm.
