Down with imperialism! Video games are sold as training to defend Earth from alien attack, but does that stand up? These games have one player mowing down hordes of wimpy aliens. Think about it. Real aliens will come from far away and can’t afford to bring along cannon fodder, and they have interstellar travel so what little they do bring will be advanced. The roles are exactly reversed! This is training for future interstellar imperialists!
