Mr. Evrart is helping me figure out what in the fuck is going on in this Twitter thread

same

The site needs to die so badly. Even before the Elon crap

"They make fun of everyone" is the calling card of a South Park fan and a clue to not listen to anything they have to say

I also read that becoming a fascist makes the game easier lol

If you do the Ultra bazinga vision quests you don't have to worry about money for the rest of the playthrough because you can bullshit so much out of

It's the startup/venture capital way!

They only really make fun of communists "the most" in the sense that it's the difference between constant mostly friendly teasing and occasional genuine disdain, but at the end of the day Communism is the only ideology presented in the game as fostering hope for the future and having an actual plan to make things better, to an almost satirical extent given that you genuinely will a physically impossible miniature construct to stand upright for a brief moment.

Meanwhile Fascism is so pathetic that the most empathetic part of its portrayal is that it kind of functions more as self harm to Harry, with him apparently willing himself into facial paralysis and brain damage by the end of the Fascism quest, Ultraliberalisms representatives are rabid death squad mercenaries and the woman who partially hired them, who in this context becomes extremely menacing as a closeted bourgeois nationalist, and Moralism is the people who kill everyone who ever wanted something better for the world, to which Harry is so completely removed from that power that if he becomes a Moralist he just fucking spouts complete bureaucratic gibberish like hes citing scripture.

I think they very deliberately present a spectrum of different representatives of "Communism" with all of them clashing in how much revolutionary prestige they have, how much theory they read, how much they actually do, how open they are etc.

So you get the old communard who would clearly have the most pure theory and revolutionary prestige, but has basically devolved into the Disco Elysium definition of a Fascist due to the butchering of the revolution and the reactionary wave that followed, the students who don't actually do any actions because they are obsessed about arriving at a pure revolutionary theory first and purging deviations, and then you have what could be seen as "mutual aid" or "community policing" in the Hardy Boys, and Evrart whos doing drug trafficking and other criminal activities to fuel an actual uprising of some sorts.

So you're invited to try and think critically about which of these is good and useful for "the movement".

It's a bit awkwardly worded, but the OP is saying that the game makes fun of you regardless of what ideology you choose because Harry, the character, is fundamentally unserious about whatever it is because of who he is.

That’s what the tweet is saying. They don’t think politics is stupid.
