Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

this annoys the living shit out of me every playthrough i do. no matter what options you choose, its always about V's constant sense of self-importance and becoming a "legend" while casting the anti-corporate and anti-capitalist sentiments as crazy (you can lean into silverhand, but i feel like V's dialogue options always imply that silverhand is a little crazy for believing what he believes. and by no means is he a great person, but if i was in the cyberpunk universe i would be on the exact same page as him regarding action against the corporations.)
