It's violence desensitizing training. You will never get a boomer to hate, you will never get a boomer to kill. A gamer on the other hand, they already think that killing to fix things is pretty ok.

Either cope or ignorance.
As the other commenter said, firearms training and especially combat sports are more effective at conditioning a man to real violence than video games could ever be. You seem to be describing one's *willingness to enact* violence in the abstract, which should be a function of ideology first.
I guarantee you that a Spartan boy was more willing and able to enact violence in practice than any modern right wing gamer today.
Who am I attacking? This *is* the recruitment campaign.
Get off the do-nothing dopamine carousel and engage in activity that will meaningfully enhance your ability to fight rather than just fantasize about it. Anyone who won't even entertain that idea isn't worth recruiting anyways.
> Boomers
The boomers who *were* capable of violence were the ones who practiced real skills related to it. Combat veterans and the like. Gamers are analogous to boomers who watched UFC and war documentaries but never actually got off their asses.
I agree, but let’s not pretend that pound for pound gaming isn’t one of the easiest, and cheapest hobbies to get into. Shooting in comparison is very expensive. Shit, shooting, especially now, is very expensive. Even just shooting 22 is more expensive than gaming. You have to remember, that most young people, and people in general are poor as fuck in mOOdern times.
