I mean, Disco Elysium, a game that does not hide its left wing sensibilities at all
A lot of really fucking ignorant treat hogs have already claimed that leftists are stupid for seeing leftism in the subtext because the game doesn’t parade communism around as an all-powerful and triumphant ideology.
one of my childhood friends who is super reactionary didn’t pick up on the leftist themes at all, and was absolutely shocked when I explained it to him over a beer
idk, I would not be surprised if he had played the fascist route and nothing else in the game
The fascist route goes a lot harder than the communist route; the latter says “you’re not going to see communism built (again) in your lifetime and you’re a fucking cop but shine on you human disaster diamond” while the former is “this entire ideology is so contradictory and self-destructive that there’s no room for anyone to stand in it for long until they’re devoured by it.”
