I think that this article brings up many points that should be brought to public attention.

This is exactly what is wrong with our youth. Mark Zuckerberg is turning everyone into commies with his electronic doo-dads and videogames.

Interesting article, thought I’d share a few thoughts:
1) “it’s not too difficult to make the jump from socialism to full-on communism”. This statement is false. These are different systems entirely.
2) “which all have strikingly un-American appearances” suggests that being American is the default state of being and deviating from that is making a statement – from the contents of the article it’s easy to infer the writer sees this as a negative. This is all just false.
3) The article moves on to the Soviet Union specifically. Kip rants and raves about the horrible atrocities committed in the USSR as if it has any relevance to the game. Somehow they conflate “voting out” and “gulags” as if bean astronauts have anything to do with them. Would they complain about murder in, say, Call of Duty, where pro-America, pro-military slogans are everywhere? I wonder…
4) Ultimately this is a piece of propaganda. It begins with a question, complains about the increasingly socialist youth and ends with a call to action – “vote off communism”. In the process it uses Among Us (a game that has nothing to do with anything else in the article) as a vehicle to compare well-intentioned socialism to oppressive communism in the USSR.
