To me it's at the end of MGS snake eater, when the boss explains the purpose of a soldier, and their disposable nature, and how war is nothing but one big crime against humanity that everyone waves away as necessary to complete a selfish goal.
Also that scene in MGS 2 where the A.I psychologically tortures Raiden and essentially predicts where we're at now in 2023 with a.i, the internet, social media, war and propaganda fueled divisions.
For how over the top MGRR is, it's actually quite prophetic how relevant the dialog stays so many years later.
Still makes me sad that we never got an MGS2 release that took Snake's perspective. Obviously not the intention of the game, but still.
