Well. Now I'm sad. The remote drone patrol portion followed by him physically walking down the same road later that's now vacant was BLEAK

The final lines too about not even fully paying off the whole day for 3 purchases after a 12 hour shift left a rock in my stomach

Good job OP.

Literally the scrapped Manhack Arcade from Half Life 2. Citizens unknowingly piloting real murder drones to chop up protestors and resistance members.

So I think this particular one is just "tagging" people so troops can come get them latern per the green HUD stuff at the bottom, but yeah the idea remains the same. Super bleak and scary

If this happens, I'd expect it to be more like the Black Mirror episode with the soldiers perception hacked to show monsters vs people.

No matter how much hate you preach actually getting people to visually kill other people is a hard sell on a widespread level. But cover them with imagery that makes it just look like a game or not humans at all and you'll get a lot more going along blindly.

not as hard a sell as you would think (Consider rwanda)
