Based nigga. The long drawn out conversations with NPCs that go beyond sinple in game events and veer into abstract or generalized ideas of better or worse always feel personal or more adressed to the player than the PC.

That's literally the opposite of what it means. "Betray" as used here means to unintentionally reveal and be evidence of something. In this case that Harry lives a hard life of degeneracy an destructive behaviors and his body's state is physical evidence of it.

something i like about disco elysium is that although it has an obvious viewpoint (if you think the game isnt explicitly communist you're just wrong i'm afraid. Please compare each political vision quest and ask again) it doesn't make the proponents of the other ideologies big silly goofballs to make this point--joyce and kim are wrong, both morally and factually, but they are wrong eloquently and compellingly. even measurehead, in the final cut, gets a long and compelling monologue where he makes the case for his ideology.

like whenever media wants to criticize fascism or capitalism or anything, really, 95% of the time it's just like they have a guy walk on and say "im fasho the fascist!" and then he slips on a banana peel and falls and looks pathetic and everyone laughs at him.

That's not a critique of fascism. you've made the fascist look bad, yeah, but not by attacking any substantial part of their politics or actions. anyone could fall over and scream and look pathetic. it's not even bad critique, it's just not critique.

Communist quest is explicitly about failure, and its ending builds up to the tower falling after you and the students painstakingly build it. To ensure it doesn't fall apart, you need to pass an impossible check...only for it to fall apart anyway.
The game tries to be sympathetic to all sides, but communism gets some of the most scathing criticisms in my opinion. Denouncing your whole ideology as the new religion for the starved people that leads them to death like cattle is far worse than anything capitalism or fascism tried. It's hopeful but recognize that it's a dead dream and you're better off picking yourself up.

It also helps that Kurvitz was an alcoholic commie trying to insert his bullshit into the game, and at times, it feels like a tonal shift between developers trying to be objective, and Kurvitz being himself. It doesn't help that in his book, communism solves the Pale.
>>
>>683706039
but you can argue with him about it and even expose the fact he too, is a dysgenic nigga, and on top of it all, you can reveal he's never lived in not-Africa, he lived all his life in Revachol and borrows his race theory from schizo podcasts on the radio.
one of the options to get past him is also to just go with the flow and try to comprehend race the same way he does.
>>
>>683706854
I think you can also steal the door pass from a dock worker but you need to pass 2 other checks to manage that, and you can even sell the pass if you want to
>>
>>683731261
Yeah, on the very first day, you can find a dock worker in Whirling-In-Rags and he's sleeping. I remember you can lick up his spilled alcohol and steal his card with a check, also ask him around about the strike.
>>
>>683730928
Yeah, but the literally impossible tower lasts longer every time, and then everyone gets teary eyed once the impossible tower falls because "This is the same as building a better future".
>>
>>683705452
I had zero interest in debating this dude but it’s funny you can just kick his ass
>>
>>683731483
This, again, continues to reinforce my opinion that this game was more of a battle between developers and their conflicting views on the ideology. The scene prior shows you that they're useless students doing fuck-all, and the game constantly encourages you to apply critical thinking skills.

The whole message about tower can be applied to any human ideology. It just feels way weaker when used with communism, an ideology that infamously is incompatible with human beings and is largely built on getting high on copium and hopium simultaneously.

the end of the capitalist quest:
>“the grind” is a fucking joke. you will never rise up no matter how hard you work. You were born a poor man and you will die a poor man.
the end of the centrist quest:
>the upper classes that rule the world will do anything to keep their power and will in fact kill you for it. their promises are utterly meaningless and slow change will never come. the deadline stretches forever. you are a coward and a liar if you believe them.
the end of the communist quest:
>keep trying. build a better life from what you have. as long as you have the will to try again, you have the means to make the world a better place to exist. try again and it will be worth it. do it for everyone you love and for yourself.
>>
>>683732107
>black bagged by the moralists
Which is vague. For all you know, Harry can be picked up into magpie division due to being a borderline psychic.
>embracing an insane, delusional nostalgia as a fascist
It's still sympathetic to your cause and ultimately follows every theme of every ideology: it's a cope Harry uses to avoid talking about his problems, and the quests can help him to focus on that through the lenses of his ideology.
>whatever the fuck contemptable thing the ultraliberals do.
Unironically, a better ending for Harry despite ultralibs being hated by the devs sometimes on the level of fascism, despite the latter having some of the best characters in the whole game. He gets to earn money, he focuses on hustle and self-improvement. It may be self-destructive, but he's going somewhere. Maybe I am misremembering it though.

Communism is another one of those copes, and when you look through Kurtivz's life, it's beginning to make sense why the game portrays commies as it is.
>>683732385
I still hold onto my explicit belief that there should've been more political neutrality amongst the game staff because we get something like this. Fascists don't even get much ideological nuance and the game will happily throw you into their ranks if you like drinking or agree with Rene, a character that's far more likeable and respectable than any commie faggot you see through. Deserter was a great critique, and I don't know why it exists in the same game trying to push commie path as the only hopeful path.
>>
>>683732385
disco elysium obviously doesn't depict a world where socialist revolution was successful (because it wasn't), but the view of history and politics it has is just straightforwardly marxist/historical materialist. For fuck's sake, moralism and Dolores Dei pratically come out of an Engels text.
Evrart (a sympathetic figure!), Dros and the students are all criticised explicitly for not living up to their socialist ideals--for being hypocritical or stuck in the past or inactive and snobbish. Contrast this with the critique of fascism as completely delusional and a tool for those in power, moralism as a cancer killing the world and ultraliberalism as a total fucking joke.
The devs came out and thanked Marx and Engels for their political education and you retards still refuse to acknowledge it, is it that unthinkable that a game you like might have politics that aren't yours?
>>
>>683732667
Yeah, every political thought is a coping mechanism for harry, everything in the game is harry coping with the crater of his life, but communism is the only cope that gets teary eyed optimism and Harry sitting at the end without everyone telling him that he's just making everything worse.

No, moralism is the worst one of them all. Moralism is the ideology of looking at the state of Revachol and telling everyone to wait for our overlords on the other side of the sea, they'll fix everything!
If there is one fucking thing DE got it right was their portrayal of moralism. Moralism is a worthless fucking joke where you just sit in a chair and watch your country be parasitized, waiting for a FMI deadline for "civilization" and told that one day, one day you'll be a first world country while the streets are full of homeless people and every acre of your land is owned by foreign investors.

That's why I believe that it was Kurtivz projecting himself onto the game, and it sours my expectations about the game that tries to drill it into your head that every ideology has done something terrible, and that commies might be the worst because they try to sell an idea of hope instead of offering tangible solutions.
>>683732756
It's bewildering that some people can find Evrart sympathetic when he's just a gangster profiteering off drugs and perfectly okay with his men dying if it helps advance his agenda. Even if there's an implication that he's a "true believer in communism", his zeal doesn't excuse his actions. He's like Deserter - two useless faggots rotting away in their spots, following a dead ideology through whatever underhanded means they can, while being scummy as individuals. They don't care about communism, they care about an idea of utopia that won't come.

If you think Iosef Lilianovich Dros was not a tale that can only have been written by and for communists you are literally braindead retarded.
>'the communism he mourns is a global force.'
Dros is a man stuck in the past while DE constantly fucking hammers in you that the future is what matters. He is so fixated on a struggle that has been lost, on a future that didn't materialize, that he is blind to the situation in Martinaise that exists right now, to the people who are trying to do things with their life. He clings to the outdated social mores of a bygone revolutionary age out of dogmatism and inability to adapt his principles to the present situation. Dros is tragic and heartbreaking and wrong--not wrong because he's a communist, he's wrong because the war he's fighting ended long ago and its ashes are blinding him to the what is springing to life right across the river from him.

>>683734156
He's perfectly okay with Hardy Boys and his other men dying in proves to like, 3 drunken mercs with embellished achievements if it means looking like a "victim" despite policing Martinaise like his playground and doing drugs, as well as assassinating political opponents.
He's not better. Wild Pines and Union are both shits, with people beneath being ground into a paste so the people at the top can get somewhere. Hardie Boys don't go far, being bitches pretending to be tough and jobbing to drunk mercs (with one of them running away lol) and attempting to ruin your investigation purely to further said political interests that will result in more innocents being massacred.
>>683734338
That's one of the plot points in the game. Mercs are no longer under control, which gives him the perfect opportunity to antagonize Wild Pines once they blast some people. You can chalk up some of it to bluffing, but it's fairly easy to tell that he doesn't mind a good chunk of people dying.
>>683734368

The mercs would massacre every single one of them if you weren't there, because they are literally fucking invincible to the weapons that they're carrying around, barring a miracle. If you fail the checks the Hardie boys are slaughtered and all of the mercs survive with only minor wounds because their armor is THAT good. It doesn't matter if they are used to fighting people with stick and stones if you are also wielding sticks and stones.
And Evrart has no other option. What is he GOING TO DO? The cat is out of the fucking bag by now, you retard. He can't back down and let the mercs run roughshod over everyone in Martinaise, and why should he throw a golden chance in the garbage? If Wild Pines is going to be that retarded and hand him public opinion on a silver platter alongside the harbor, should he just drop it? Why?

You are misunderstanding Evrart's flaw. He isn't some fat corrupt minister filling his pockets, he is a man devoted to an ideal and ruthless in his persuit of it. The union is genuinely making its people's lives better, to the point where people who are only in for themselves like Manana are allied with it anyway, but who will get those benefits? Is it worth it, if you sacrifice people along the way? Evrart's sin is that he marginallizes the people of the village and kills innocents to gain advantage. It's not corruption, it's ruthlessness.

That'd be true if they didn't make Kim Kitsuragi, the most sympathetic/universally loved character, a moralist. Not Moralist - he's not 100% married to the political party, but he lives its rules, and is clearly presented as a Good person because he follows the ideal of pragmatic humanism.

None of the communists are presented in nearly as good of a light as he is. Whether intended by the devs or not, through him they made a compelling case for level-headed centrism, and made that case far stronger than they did for Communism.

Kim is on the side of "Not entering into a horrible war". Kim is status quo because he doesn't want millions of people to die in the transition.

It depicts the communards as idealistic manchildren. The closest they get to enacting their utopian political vision is playing pretend with matchbooks. The "optimism" you're trying to read into it can only be accepted by deluded ideologues.

Joyce is a pretty scarf and meaningless words. The real face of Wild Pines is the man whose subordinate shoots up random villages becuase he got bored, the people who ate children alive for kicks. This is the real face of moralism; the second you do not give them free access to your resources, they will splatter your walls with your brainmatter.
Yes, Evrart is ruthless. But what the fuck can he do, if his enemy is willing to set his country on fire like it has done to countless other countries before? He needs every single fucking advantage he can get.

Evrart is hostile to you because you are his enemy, but if you think the narrative foil to Joyce Messier is not intended to be a complex, sympathetic figure like she herself is, you are delusional. People can clearly see the ways she's flawed but human, why can't they look past his shit eating smile for one second?

People always ignore this part. I am one of the few Americans in existence who has interacted with Estonians from Estonia for any extensive period of time.

I'll give you complex, but he remains one of the worst human beings in Revachol. His desires are as horrible as they are because people like the union believe him to simply be corrupt and flawed on a surface level when his entire character is rotten
There is more sympathy to be found in Ruud's mask than in Evrart's entire body. A sympathetic figure he is not.

>>683741417
Russia's political landscape is the rape of their past and total schizophrenia. Young people hated the government and thought that USSR was better for being less scummy, while the government itself regularly used Stalin and religious imagery, worshipping USSR's legacy while simultaneously hating it. They don't have politics but they do have guys in charge, and people who hate those guys in charge.

as someone who considers himself a Marxist, the thing that most made me realize that the devs definitely are communists was talking to the gendarme by the coast.

Bryce and Vicquemire have probably spent more time overseeing and following Harry than anyone else we see in the game (besides THAT ONE) or that we ourselves know of and its likely this isnt the first time something this insane happens, or that these episodes arent uncommon but in the end he does enough to compensate for the shambles he gets into.
he got away with crippling a guy simply because said person and his friend were such an annoyance to everyone in Jamrock that putting the case down was worth it.
>>
>>683733258
My headcanon was Dolores Dei (and the other Innocences) are depictions of a player save-scumming their lives to get the best results possible. "Taking information from the future via the Pale (and in turn creating more Pale" is failing a series of checks, re-loading with that "future knowledge" of failure and repeating until they pass even the most ludicrous of impossibilities. Example, Dolores Dei directing Irene the Navigator to just the right Isola and perfecting the Volta do Mar to make the journey in the span of less than a decade is bonkers. Then look at what a save-scumming Harrier Du Bois achieves in just 5 days on one tiny corner of Martinaise.

Now you're equating three of your subjective interpretations against your fourth interpretation which you have determined to be of an esoterically differing quality.
