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

"You are the chosen one of epic destiny and the main character. Everyone else is a disposable NPC."

In some ways, chuds caught up in "simulation theory" are trying to make the chud equivalent of Disco Elysium in the offline world, every day. scared-fash

Exactly, and this kind of stuff is fun in games. Power is fun and makes you feel good. I like feeling like the chosen one of epic destiny when I'm playing warframe or world of warcraft or whatever.

But that doesn't make a very good political ideology
