Ha!!! It would be loads of fun.
Here's the description on the box:
"Seattle 2030,
The United States has collapsed and roving gangs prey on the outskirts of the city. The City is rules by a band of weak tyrants called the Council for Social Justice, who send gangs of their "warriors" to exact tribute from the few remaining "normies" who huddle in closed communities.
The injustices become unbearable when the "Warriors" show up at your families compound and demand the young children, whom they intend to groom into likenesses of themselves.
You and your friends portray a band of bold adventurers who attempt to emulate their heroic forefathers, back before they were "cancelled" and sent to the re-education camps, and never heard from again.
Assembling some homemade weapons and various equipment the party ventures forth to recover their lost children.
Will they prevail in their fight against the Warriors of Social Justice, led by Commissar Zir Manning? Only the dice, and your courage can decide..."
Needs a kickstarter NOW. I'd give it some bucks on just Sven's description

That's good stuff right there.
The introductory adventure module would be called: "They're Coming For Your Children".

No way they would allow it on Kickstarter... :)
So....not a FPS?
Wouldn't the Antagonists section of the book just be a circular reference back to character creation? After all, who hunts them better than they hunt themselves?
Exactly, HappyDaze.

WOW. They have nothing left to protest except each other.
This game exists. Social Justice Warrior Turtles. PWYW on drivethrurpg.
Check out "Virtue Signal", the card game. It's quite amusing.
You draw a SJW card to see what kind of SJW you are, with a special rule. Draw 7(?) more for your hand.
Then you set the SJW card down face up, play NPC cards on it like dominoes, until you get 15 followers.
Or, play Microaggression cards on other players to block them.
They may remove those blocks by playing Virtue Signal cards.

Every organisation faces the problem that the bottom people want to be on top, and the top people want to stay on top.
Mature (in the sense of grown up, rather than intelligent) organisations like the military, governments, large corporations and so on have distinct structures, with ranks and career paths - so the ambitious are given direction.
Absent a structure and opportunities for advancement, ambitious individuals will seek advancement in other ways, such as by undermining the current organisation and forming their own sub-organisation - which process repeats until the entire thing falls apart.
In some cases the ambitious individual can simply seek another organisation. Your career is stuck at Apple and you move to Microsoft, or whatever. But to do so you must have transferable skills. Which these people don't. And so they stay and fuck it all up for the rest.
Have reverse X cards where players can force the DM to put one thing in the game per session like a cyborg manatee with an alignment who hates FDR and votes for the GOP sometimes and does sexist rap lyrics.

Don't some narrative games already have something like this? I recall them being called something like "story sheets" or similar.
