I got nothing for this one except loud internal screaming. 
You know, I was listening to a recent episode of TMK and they had a guest on who was talking about how the games industry is a multi-billion money making machine with a huge impact on popular culture, and yet is a space where the left hasn't made much headway into, even though there's a lot of potential there.
I mean, Disco Elysium, a game that does not hide its left wing sensibilities at all, is currently the best-reviewed game of all time on Metacritic. How can this not mean that there is an ideological void waiting to be filled? If the games industry were not dominated by a handful of multi-billion dollar companies, I'm sure that gaming could have incredible potential as a medium for leftist thought to flourish. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic here.
I thought that episode of TMK was a very interesting and thought-provoking discussion. The guest's name is Marijam Did, and here's a link to it. I'm about to start reading the book that she wrote on this subject.

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."
It's okay, Americans don't know what a voting bloc is. They cannot imagine themselves not voting for whatever party they aligned themselves with.
Just fucking imagine what "Great Again" bideo bames would look like.
Just thinking about it makes me want to 
Calling it now, gaming for whites only under the DOGE administration.
's handlers want a mass purge of federal government employees, and because the US government is held together by fragile gentleman's agreements, it is arguably possible.
Even someone as fucking ignorant as 
would quickly react to shit coming apart after Dae Le Epic DOGE purged them the way he had to yell "put it back, put it back" when ordering hardware at Twitter HQ shut off, which would consequently result in a hasty mass hiring of anyone with a pulse that can heil convincingly.
