True hero of the people, helped Harry find his gun
Never trust a Social Democrat that quotes Mazov
he helped me find my gun tho ^_^
/uj I did see like an ad or something for some like generic looking like,, idk what to call it 'organisation' but not in the 'org' sense bc its about entrepreneurs among other things that used a fucking james baldwin quote (which do we have any james baldwin emotes?)
Cindy the SKULL, clearly.
Who else is there to call Joyce Messier a ghoul.
Cindy the SKULL
Not a bad suggestion, also the kid who records sounds maybe?
She's connected to organized crime via family, but herself doesn't do much wrong I suppose.
it's the
phasmid
spoiler
Lol I also thought of the Phasmid but it did give the Deserter some brainworms.
Deserter already had most of those brainworms.
Stick insect did nothing. Stick insect is innocent of the crime.
spoiler
the deserter was literally addicted to the phasmid's mind control chemicals, after you photograph it and it leaves, the deserter becomes entirely unresponsive and incapable of even basic speech, just shuddering if you touch him.
Yeah, I know, but he's spent 50 years being the Union Bosses' assassin and he was already fucked up from fleeing his comrades. It's not just the phasmid.
I have to assume that its meant to be like, Kim.
But Kim is sadly a moralist coward, so despite his personal heroism in the field, he is not truly politically heroic, the only heroism that matters.
The old woman who gives you shelter?
Maybe, but that's more "good" than "heroic" in my opinion.
Unless the alleged tv troper is conflating the two.
call me manana
Isn't it Cuno
no its cunoesse
Spoiler game content
Ah one of the few people in the game you can be shooting at.
Snuff radio is proletarian media.
Cuno doesn't fuckin' care
I read on hexbear, there was a tumblr post that said reddit picked up on a tvtropes section that said in Disco Elysium...
Mr. Evrart is helping me navigate social media.
Are you forgetting someone, Detective? 
if you follow kim's advice don't you end up killing ruby for no reason?
I'm regretting the Kim post more and more. 
is that a spoiler, does that actually come up in the game? or is it from the book?
If you pass the check to dance in the church and then pass the shivers check you will speak with the spirit of the city who tells you the city will be nuked in 22 years. The person who does the nuking Ambrosius is never directly mentioned in the game though, so we only find out it was ambrosius in the book yeah.
spoiler
It's that old deserter guy you arrest at the end. Through the whole dialogue, as he's calling me a lib, I feel it hard.

Well then we could talk about what heroic means. In my opinion for a communist, especially one in prolonged struggle means that they have to see how the material conditions are. If you are not connected to a movement then your action is likely not really furthering the communist movement. His disdain for what came after the failed revolution is fair, but doesn't make him right. He is not the hero in the story either.
He even says that there's in practical terms little physical threat to him should he choose to return to society, so his decision to withhold his knowledge and experience from the movements that actually do exist is selfish, and even if much of his motivation for that is trauma and resentment, he also holds some seriously reactionary views that play into that.

Both important points. The first one I actually not acknowledge itself enough till now. Thanks for your point of view!
::: spoiler spoiler The guy who just murdered a rando because he felt like shit about deserting? No, for all his mean words he did fuck all. Union boss dude actually had a plan and shit to get the moralists to fuck off which worked.:::
SHIT YOURE RIGHT RODIONOV is actually the elysium equivalent of posadas... he therozied you could use the pale as a weapon against the bourgeoisie... like ambrosius is just a normal fascist but rodionov was a believer in communism...
There's a Rodionov household on one of the mail routes I deliver and I just immediately append a "'s trench" to the name whenever i think about it
Oh shit me and the girls disappearing into Rodionov's Trench (we want to disappear)
