I know it is stand in the Patriots, but is it just something for the view/player to notice. Or are people literally saying that in the game world.

Its origin is the code word for Snakes contacts to identify each other in MGS3

To think you actually believe you have security clearance to know that, CE cracks me up sometimes

they're saying that in the world.

iirc, if you're an agent of the Patriots, if you don't have the clearance, you say "La Li Lu Le Lo" instead of "Patriots" so that you can't intentionally or inadvertently share information about them with others.

it even works on people who don't know they're somehow working for the Patriots, like we've seen in MGS4 with Meryl & her Rat Patrol

That's the dumbest fucking codename I've ever heard in my life

Why would it be more suspicious to use a vague and already widely-used term like "Patriots" that could have multiple applications or explanations if you were overheard, instead of sounding like you're warming up to break into song

Yup. The game was fun to play for it's time, but holy shit has it not aged well in story and game design. Kojima needs to mostly remake it.

I think it's supposed to sound like nonsense so that people don't take you seriously when you try to talk about them.

Yeah because we all know in the real world how seriously you should take people who call themselves "Patriots" in casual conversation anyway

But even considering the time that the game was made why wouldn't they just refrain from talking about the organization with non-members anyway if they're so worried about secrecy that they tell people "just refer to us as a nonsense tongue twister instead of our real name"

I think the thing is, at that point, much of the world is working for them, in some capacity, without even knowing.

and a lot of those people not liking what they know (or feel they know) about the Patriots.

so it's just to limit the information shared about them, even with potential whistleblowers.

their thing is about censorship and manipulation of information to control others.

I'm not saying that it was executed well, or anything, or justifying it, but that it's just what I've observed
