In all seriousness though, Ubisoft developed the Assassins to be an fictional in-game group that you could control, but their philosophy (and the Templars' philosophy) still stands and is definitely real if you ask me. I can bet that there are people out there (politicians for example) who want to establish control to create peace, and others who want freedom to gain peace. You won't see any hooded figures with hidden blades leaping about, nor will you see Templar knights patrolling the streets, because well, they don't exist. But there are people who believe in these two philosophies, and I can tell you now that the New World Order is a real theory and I've seen politicians talk about it themselves, so there you go. If you want to be an Assassin, run for President and run your country by giving people freedom because you believe it is best for them.
