User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

it's remarkable the way this single shot totally rehabilitated Aerith's image after like two straight decades of her being relegated to "Girl who stands in a void going 🙏" in every other piece of FF7 material

an illustration of qifrey from witch hat atelier. he's resting upon a mass of tree roots and branches, coming in swathes of purples, greys and blues. his robes are long and flowy, cascading down and around him like water; both his clothes and the tree are blending into one another. qifrey is looking slightly behind him, towards a giant, golden star haloing him. MILD SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 93: his hands come to his chest; one gripping his ribbon tassel while the other brushes against the swirl of tree branches. At the center of these branches is a lantern which partially covers the silhouettes of a young qifrey and olruggio.

Lot of people discussing this with the idea of failing faster. I would put it to you that failure doesn’t actually have to exist at all in this conception. One of the great mistakes of the AI brouhaha is the belief that art is good because of its craft or content. It is good because it connects us.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

pro tip if you are putting a library book on hold and there's a giant wait list CHECK THE LARGE PRINT VERSION! sometimes there are zero people in line for the large print and you can check it out immediately

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?
