I think they should give me super powers

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.

John Wick is in both! 😯

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Cory Booker hasn’t been to church in a long time. You can tell because he’s clearly trying to do the sermon voice, but it only comes out as a pale imitation. He’s doing an impression of an idea.

Yeah, this one has been truly boggling my mind given how many adults who were *ALREADY* grown adults during the first term keep mentioning it

Just absolute goldfish memory mentality

They should call posts on Mastodon “masterdations” send skeet

Yes me. I am not built different. 😞

There’s not enough people in politics

The best part about getting back to flossing is when you get that stink on the wire and you KNOW you just got something bad out good

People keep talking about when “It” happens, but not enough people are talking about right *after* it happens and the eulogy roasts kick off

Endless living rooms across the country each holding their own 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner anew. And again. And again and again and over and over

He’s suddenly realized that he could still be the Pope, and then Jesus, and then God 😔

Never mind, I found some. 😎

I think the best way to get money is by winning it. Don’t get me wrong, I like working too but that’s not my preferred method of receiving money
