Call of Duty in far right conspiracy controversy
 

Gives rather too much attention to Yuri Bezmenov

Activision is in hot water over its Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s debut trailer which gives rather a lot of airtime to Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov and become a rallying cry for far right conspiracy theories and the morons who peddle them.

According to Kotaku, the teaser mixes stock footage of major world events with a 1984 interview of Bezmenov, who claimed to have been an informant for the KGB before defecting to the United States.

During the interview, he describes the Soviet Union’s alleged use of “active measures” that, in theory, are meant to destabilize opponents without direct military conflict by way of changing a society’s power structure and economy.
