I kinda thought the political side lines in this game were always in the extreme. Even the moralintern path was always beating into your head how slow progress is supposed to be approached. There was no middle ground whatsoever.
I read it as the main character being so self-deprecating that he extends his self-deprecating attitude to whichever political ideology he adopts.
It seems to me to be a rebuke, on the authors'/creators' part, of the certainty and purposefulness with which each of these political movements and ideologies advance their worldview.
