Yea the game politics is all over the place. I'm happy that the NUSA President turned out not to be a good person.
Still weird to me that you never seemed to be able to take a "NC is independent, whose president do you think you are here?" line.
Yeah. Like, Johnny had some good points all throughout the game. V even was a victim of corpo supreme power (sure he stole the tech and put it in his noggin, but still). Yet V defends the status quo mocking Johnny's anticapitalist thought in many convos. Wish V was less lib. Of all people, he has a good reason to hate the status quo.
Johnny is not anti-capital, he’s a selfish dick who hurts and wants to hurt the world. He just likes the big targets like corps.
Yeah, maybe, but he still got a couple good points. And V has nothing but lib takes.
Johnny doesn't have points, he has tepid, baby's first anticapitalism talking points. He rants about how capitalism bad, corporations bad, but it doesn't go deeper than that.
And even to that V objects to
that's just not true, sure his major act of adventurism was largely motivated by his girlfriend issues, but he constantly rants about how he saw corporations take peoples land and kidnap child soldiers and how his main goal is to defeat the corporations more than anything else like survival or wealth or fame or whatever. like sure maybe he needs to read theory but calling him "a selfish dick who hurts and wants to hurt the world" is the lamest possible take i could expect to see on a leftist website lol. i wish more 'selfish dicks' like him would nuke more corporate offices.
