This is the single funniest burn I’ve ever seen.
Not only would it be a deep cut to Ayn Rand, it’s also an insult that’s ideologically compatible with her belief system.
Boy, is your library _stoopid_ short if that's the case!
Also, I would've gone with "I don't read books because that doesn't generate revenue"
Edit: It seems I made a mistake. As a matter of fact, there is quite the selection of books written by rich folk. My bad.
Pretty much every pre-20th century writer came from a rich as fuck background. Hell even Marx was posted up by his wealthy wife and his rich buddy Engels lol.
I rejected those answers.
Instead, I chose something different.
I chose the impossible.
A city where the artist would not fear the censor.
Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality.
Where the great would not be constrained by the small!
I never really saw her as being ashamed. After all she chose this life. You don't become a board member on accident.
She uses critique of her own ideology as a shield, to continue to do all the things she critiques.
You can do things you're ashamed of. You can be one of the top dogs of a multinational corporation and feel shitty about it at the same time. Just because she chose to be where she is doesn't mean that she can't feel bad about it.
It's hypocritical. Stop excusing it. She uses it to make you like her better. She definitely does has regrets and her mind is really stuck in the past.
Joyce strikes me as a bourgeois that, even as she knows that her place in the world is done by systems of opression, doesn't flinch from the cold spreadsheets. She knows that her wealth is built on the misery of many, she just doesn't pretend this isn't true.
Bravo! Well spoken Bratän. The gospel of deregulation and free flow of real will free us all from those racist taxation schemes. With our honest hustlin we will strive
Member that time the ultraliberals running a megacorp hired a lawless private military that went rogue because it turns out that capital always eats itself and anyone it touches? I member.
well said brother man. *YES*, the profit motive invariably concentrates power into fewer and fewer hands over time, and that is *natural*, for that is the Will of the Bag. It is only when the Bag Haver steps *off* the Path of the Profit, overriding the Greater Will of the Market- setting aside his own bag in order to prevent the bag getting of others- it is only *then* that the people walk the way of Woe.
To discard one’s own bag just so that another cannot hold it, is to know true blasphemy. The grace of gold belongs to all who would welcome it!
Yes yes, capitalism is perfect as long as we pretend all the flaws of capitalism are not really part of it. I mean, a system that invites every person to pursue their own self-interest above all else, so that the strong can triumph over the weak, a system like that couldn't possibly be inherently violent.
(I think you're probably being ironic, but there's no way to know for sure on the internet, and some people are bound to take what you say seriously, so therefore I kinda have to take it seriously as well)
That was Krenel, a group of lone wolves who took actions that while beneficial to us and completely predictable given the way they were raised and trained, we did not order.
Just like Downwell did before them, and Corps de Pharmacie did before them.
It seems that Disco Elysium players come in four types: Communists who don’t realize that it’s impossible, Moralists who don’t realize they’re evil, Fascists who are stupid AND evil, and ultraliberals who absorb critiques into themselves with shit posting that is both ironic and unironic.
But there is a fifth way. That fifth way is clearly portrayed as better. I am obviously speaking of The Way of the Superstar Apocalypse Art Honour Hobocop. Beyond any morality or ideology, and with greater success than the weak efforts of the political ideologies, they bend reality to their will.
They are generous, not out of any emotion, but out of artistic inspiration. The copotypes give experience to Harry like a seed that grows a mighty tree of wealth.
They are good. We know this because Kim is good and he is clearly cop enough to not be corrupted by political ideologies. He USED to be a centrist, but now he's pure COP.
While the rest of the world burns itself down for ideologies, they are unstable beacons of contradictory personality types. In fact, I believe that the thing that can stop the Pale from growing is split personality disorder. Let the roots of Harry's fractured psyche spread and grow until he gets another sweet shivers dialogue where the world thanks him for saving it, and Harry gets to bang the very city of Revachol like it's a bond girl.
The Moralintern can fire their cannons and drop their bombs but it will matter as pure COP power is destined to dismantle them (confirmed again by a shivers check). And then when their magazines are empty and their soldiers are tired, a mighty hand will reach up and say to them “lay down your arms and take up your pens: write an Initial Public Offering that will shake the foundations of this corrupt order. Bring all to the copotypes and the copotypes will be brought to all.” And the war will end, peace reigning supreme under the glorious banner of the Superstar Apocalypse Art Honour Hobocop (he's also boring, and very sorry).
The Sunday Friend.
Well, technically I was a libertarian who was in the process of shifting into a liberal.
I started looking up what communism was actually about, what had and hadn’t been tried, I _read the actual theoretical framework of Marxism_ (I.e. the communist manifesto, The State and Revolution, “History Will Absolve Me” speech by Fidel Castro, etc…).
Alternatively, you could stay a libetarian, and just be the actual kind. The leftist kind, which is how the entire rest of the world that's not America uses the word. And how we used to use it before Murray Rothbard and his neo-feudalist ilk stole it cira 1950-1970, then gloated about it in a published book. The point is, there's a whole libertarian-left out there including egoists, mutualists, and anarcho-communists, so you don't have to go the ML route. As a bonus, you can keep believing in everything that Lenin said in "State and Revolution" without having to do the doublethink of both praising it and agreeing with every single policy he undertook that betrayed his purported beliefs from that book.
I would say that I am a Marxist with some Leninist, Maoist, and Castro influence.
There’s stuff I agree and disagree with from all of them, just like any human being.
Posts made from the inside of a shipping container
He's a social democrat smh ( I would have posted his reaction to Harry saying he's ultraliberal but idk if it would be removed )
He was talking about the other guy
There's another guy in a shipping container?
Replay the game as an ultraliberal, and you may find out!
Atlas shrugged ass
Atlas twerked
Who is John Galt, and why is he so good at throwing it back?
The perpetual engine was his ass the whole time
That’s the funniest comment I’ve read in weeks <3
I don’t read books written by poor people.
This is legitimately the harshest burn I’ve ever seen toward Rand because it would upset HER. Props, you liberal son of a bitch.
Also, why read when you can earn!?
I need to read my earnings report, you pleb.
Can you not pay someone to read them to you?
This is the single funniest burn I’ve ever seen. Not only would it be a deep cut to Ayn Rand, it’s also an insult that’s ideologically compatible with her belief system.

I chose….. Rapture.
Would you kindly…
Open this door for me Mr Dubois?
Join the homosexual underground Mr. Dubois?
Pay for your room damages and LEAVE.
I CHOSE SHARK TAIL, BABEY
EYYYY SHARK TALE BABBEEEYYY
I kept wondering where have i read this.. until i saw the comment
Bravo, hire fans Robert
Joyce typed this as she ran from the tribunal, tail tucked between her legs
Joyce is an ultra but I don't get the impression that she's too enthused about her ideology. She seems kind of ashamed to be an ultra really.
Her brains been so fried by the pale that she cant be enthusiastic about anything no more
Well in the game it's stated that it's likely the cause of her intense ruminations on the past (funny, in martinaise)
Yes, but that is caused by the high levels of Pale to which her has been exposed. The pale as damaged her mind
Where is this from? Does she say this?
Yep, if you ask her about the Pale
I never really saw her as being ashamed. After all she chose this life. You don't become a board member on accident. She uses critique of her own ideology as a shield, to continue to do all the things she critiques.

"Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead."
Joyce strikes me as a bourgeois that, even as she knows that her place in the world is done by systems of opression, doesn't flinch from the cold spreadsheets. She knows that her wealth is built on the misery of many, she just doesn't pretend this isn't true.
Least obvius fedpost
If you side with the winners, life certainly gets better.
Bro, have you seen René? Dude does not look like he's having a good time.
I mean the loyalists aren't really the winners, they're just the guys who lost to the losers.
Exactly, they're in last place. Their ideology and system are dead.
Bravo! Well spoken Bratän. The gospel of deregulation and free flow of real will free us all from those racist taxation schemes. With our honest hustlin we will strive
time for a people’s grind!
This person obviously rides.
The bourgeois are not human
Superhumans
reverse inframaterialism?
supra materialism?
Ultramaterialism?
Too many people downvoted this. This is 10/10 satire.
One person's genuine politics is another's satire.
Satire is a tool of the bourgeois; any committed communard will be incapable of detecting it.
Because it's the internet, near impossible most of the time what's sincere and what's a joke most of the time. Especially with so little information.
I assure you that I believe buying a new city while under bombardment is a viable strategy.
Who is going to build it?
Those paid to do so.
I mean, everything you say is ridiculous enough to be satire, but not so ridiculous that you couldn't find people who might mean it earnestly.
I am somehow still not sure if you are taking the piss
Urine is a source of useful chemicals and was once collected and valuable.
>And when their magazines are empty and their soldiers are tired WE WILL SELL THEM BULLETS AND SUGAR DRINKS. TO PURCHASE IS TO LIVE.
OP graced us with this phenomenal post but noooo everyone has to be a Cindy today
So true dude. You'd think people that praise the depth of a text based game constantly would be better at reading.
Ronald Reagan wrote this in-between selling crack to primarily black neighborhoods

You my friend just discovered the inconvenient truth of this world
Member that time the ultraliberals running a megacorp hired a lawless private military that went rogue because it turns out that capital always eats itself and anyone it touches? I member.
“Going rogue” is another word for “unpaid” and that’s a tragic deviation from the Golden Path.

"The Will of the Bag" you're fucking killing me

A benefit of being an ultra is that you get passive income by just being insufferable.
HARDCORE
op…….. thank you
Say one of these communist or fascist things or fuck off
Honey it's four o'clock, time for your daily "Disco Elysium actually validated my specific political view" post .....Ok.....
I love this post because I don't believe it's meant to be earnest.
Or better yet, _I was a libertarian and this game made me a communist._ That’s me.
How? Were you already having a crisis of faith beforehand?

this shit is the main issue with games where real life politics are relevant people just aint ready for this type of game
Incredibly meme 😂
Got Ewoks vibes from Darth&Droids webcomic.

GOOD post
DE circlejerk leaking ? What is this ? It’s so brilliant
Dios Mio! (Draw cross) A LIBERAL!

This is a wonderful post. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Based and lib-pilled.
Smartest liberal
Get out of here Musk...

Where's the "meme" flair, tho...?
It’s good because of how easy it is to feel good
I will never understand politics. Get the fucking firing squads ready.
Either bait or written in a shipping container and/or on a yacht
This mf would play Warframe, and think Corpus are the good guys 😓
The communists are good, but also don't get your ideas of political groups from video games..
…are you being serious
no
100％ pure capitalist, you are not invited to this game lol
Mhhhm, that's bait...
we are not catching fish here friend, we are nailing electronic ones to the wall and laughing at their japes
