Why don't we call it something like traditionalism? Öøōkay. Yeah. Good thinking This is SO true. There are A LOT of people in Russia (where i live and see and hear them every day) who clearly have fascist values but will never recognise, accept, realise that they do. Traditional values, orthodox values, national values - they will call it whatever but what it is: fascism
@@ADogNamedElmo Individual freedom, republicanism, secularism, the rule of law, rationality, gender equality... These are the values that Western societies have historically adopted, some for over 400 years, while the fascist experiment failed spectacularly in less than 20 years. A true Western "traditionalist" should be a hardcore liberal.
I love watching comment sections on disco elysium fascism because all the actual fascists cant figure out that no one else is having these thoghts irl.
I love how the game gives you this option to be a full blow fascist but you and the Devs both know how moronic it really is, same for the race theory: Drama -1 fooled by the absurdity
They are socialists not communists, also there are many writers who have different outlooks on life, so there is no way to know who wrote this bit. Also communists are fucking retarded in general. Except the ones who are not. It's not about ideology tbh, it's about quality writing.

Not really. People will casually pepper their posts with slurs, and you'll see a lot of ironic and unironic racists. But even on 4chan, ideological fascists are mocked relentlessly.
People in these comments: Haha Fascism the gut! That means it is shit! Consider this. The Appendix is the Primitive Seat of the Soul. Ain't no weak intestine that can grind down meat and bone.
I mean if you're attributing fascism to a painful sensation in your appendix rather than common-or-garden gut rot then you've probably got more fatal problems on your hand bröther
Because it's making fun of American fascists who rave about their "European Roots" but don't know Jack fucking shit about them. So random umlauts are peppered about
Think it's a parody of the use of the classical Latin 'V' vowel in white nationalist stuff, especially since Elysium has no real Roman empire equivalent in its world, and with the first empires of Mundi being more closer to being culturally germanic, they'd have to use something else in the worldbuilding. So it's basically making fun of someone saying Deus Vult with a hard V
Because it's german. They're making all the words that act as rallying cries to fascists sound dumb, to emphasis how stupid it sounds to everyone else. Blööd. Wömen. Bröther.
It does leave a bad taste in my mouth how many police officers are guilty of domestic abuse. I don't think they're all as *racist* as they're made out to be, but the stats don't lie about how they treat their spouses. :/
@@spacemonkey1270 I am making a joke based on the fact that policemen are commonly very right wing and misogynistic compared to the rest of the population.
This game would be even better if it hadn't such comedic portray of facism, racism and such radical rightists ideas. Of cource its author's right to push their own agenda, but having RPG where there is clearly "cringy and funny" political view and "fair, but cruel" does not make the game better.
The only complaint I have about this game is that it equated traditionalism to fascism, which is just an unhinged take, even if it's in a mind of a drug addict drunk with amnesia. If there's ONE piece of blatant propaganda in this game, it's this.
I think the point was that facists like to pretend that they’re just simple traditionalists even when it’s clear that they aren’t. No one likes to call themselves a facist
"by basically saying that fascism is a gut reaction based on stupidity, hatred of women, and absolutely no intellectual theory or thinking at all you're highlighting how based it is!!" this is so telling of how your brain works, or rather, how it doesn't
The misogyny is the only thing that kept me from going the fascist route. Instead I went with the Moralintern and had Harry be a racist but also a feminist. I was pleased when both things got acknowledged at the end of the game, with Kim talking about my "old fashioned" views but also how I was very passionate about feminism. Why, half the reason I hate those damned foreigners is because they're about 70 years behind the Western world on women's rights. We still have a lot to fix and do better at, but I worry we're getting sidetracked by the imaginary complaints of privileged immigrant men when even WE continue to have issues with gender equality (as recently demonstrated by the overturning of Roe v. Wade...). I have seen the patriarchy in full force in one of those third world holes, and these men, after treating the women of their countries abysmally, have the *gall* to come here and then pretend that they're being persecuted? The West is the one civilization that has managed to slightly grow past the overall scumminess of humanity, but rather than continuing to grow and improve we've suddenly decided we're the worst thing ever and we must wallow in guilt and self-loathing for the crimes of long ago people, when other cultures are *currently* committing similar crimes *as we speak*!
What is bludd on about? A major driving force behind the persecution of women and homosexual ppl in many places is that the US, Britain and many colonial powers exported these views to the imperial periphery. Just as an example, operation Boot coordinated by the US and UK saw the overthrow of the Iranian president in the 50's and replaced by a conservative oil shah, which directly led to Iran becoming more religiously fundamentalist and going back on its political freedoms for women. For another, it's well recorded that many regions in Africa were cool with homosexuality and had all sorts of interpretations on the role of women in society prior to the french anr belgians instilling them with their own shitass values in the 18th and 19th centuries.
@@alexwelsby945 Nah, I'm Bangladeshi-American. It's a culture thing for me, not a race thing. No one is born innately good or evil, and the West used to be crap too. Keyword of course being "used to be", as in it's actually morally better than other cultures now but no one wants to accept that.
@@elnegromatapacos162 Did you miss the part where I acknowledged the Western world used to be morally far worse than it is today? I'm not too familiar with the situation of cultures in Africa, but I know the part of the world my family hailed from (South Asia) treated women a heck of a lot worse before the British stepped in. There's only so much that you can blame on colonialism.
