One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma’s coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead…

It hits even harder coming from the literal personification of "liberal democracy is the worst system we have, except for all the others" since she so solidly lays out the entire history of the world and lays out just how fucked up everything is, but then turns around and says that we can't do anything to change it and anyone who tries is an idiot, despite her literally being

disco Elysium spoilers, brief mention of SA event in the storyA board member of the company that's sent in a paramilitary group of drugged up mass murdering rapist super soldiers to strikebreak the local dockworkers union, and if you ask her to try and deescalate things she literally just refuses because it would hurt Wild Pines's bottom line and then sails away to avoid being caught in the crossfire when things go down

She's such an amazing character because she's just so completely mask off (but not even like some hard-line Zionist dem screeching for the blood of Palestinians or something; she'll just pleasantly tell you how horrific things are but then just be like 'and that's just the way things have to be') but she's so friendly about it at the same time, she's the best example of the constant contradictory themes in the game imo.
