Done.

Now Bondoc, since I named a lot of stuff for you, it's only fair if you do the same for me.

Here is Operation Sundevil, a 'master plan' designed to get rid of the "degenerates" and their ideologies out of their countries.

You can do whatever you want with this concept, but I'm just giving you some context to this situation.

Well, Operation Sundevil is meant to be an way for nationalists to "resist globalism and the NWO" and the swatting of Jane Cavanagh, the chaotic end of the 'Free Cavanagh' rally, and the National People's Government is an example of their ways to accomplish their goal.

But you did good as always!

Consider that one scary element that has been the fact that we know how to turn commercial drones into weapons:

That would be very useful for the nationalists' goal. Also consider that the 'Alternative Media' will recruit people into nationalism, like Infowars and Breitbart for example.

Why will killer drones make video games get a bad reputation? I think it's more plausible that Silicon Valley (or TTL equivalent) will get the blame for the killer drones.

Consider it's a lot easier to blame an isolated subculture rather than Fortune 500 businesses. Just consider that even members of geek subcultures rarely admit to being isolated subcultures, and think of themselves as part of the mainstream...

Yes, but consider that much like mass shootings in OTL, they can be overwhelmed by the 24-hour news cycle, talking points and social media. Just consider how the Trump lie of "Mexico is sending their rapists and criminals..." has continued to be a talking point since 2016, and certainly by the right-wing since 1994,...

Perhaps all of this censoring and scapegoating by conservatives will lead to gamers thinking that there's a conspiracy to ban video games worldwide and thus will drift off further to the left which will lead to even more scapegoating and calls for censorship by the right-wing until eventually a event happens that makes the nationalists feel justified to purge everyone in the industry who "supports ideas that will advance the NWO".

Also, video games at this point will make more money than Hollywood, which will lead to people who are pissed off by this fact blaming the industry on the killer drone epidemic to shrink their profits.

That could work, but also consider that this is at a time when Spain and Yugoslavia are collapsing into civil war and ethnic cleansing. The Soviet Union and the Ango-French Union are are an utter mess...
 
Consider that most of them were under the Anglo-French Union Commonwealth. They are going to be pissed at the United States for acting as enablers, and are more likely to support Soviet or former Soviet leaders,...

Perhaps 9/11 (or TTL equivalent) will be a prelude to an invasion by China.
