Man, Blowback season 4 is great but its also the first one of theirs that I feel like I have to sit and actively study rather than basically getting an understanding just by listening.
This is on the devs for making the communism vision quest not mandatory, but the game literally has a character turn to the screen and monologue about how Communism is the only ideology that promises a better world is possible for each and every human being and that struggling for it is worth it even if you fail or are killed.
Meanwhile the fascism quest is all about how cope is destroying your life and ability to relate to other human beings, the moralism side quest has you fuck around with dumb bullshit that doesnt matter and almost gets you kidnapped by the state, and ultraliberalism is memes.
Was there an ethical obligation to share the defibrillator?
The answer is not obvious.
Next paragraph.
Officials and experts said there was apparently no legal obligation for the de Young to share the device.
They highlighted several complicating considerations: What if the staffer had lent it out, and minutes later someone at the museum collapsed and needed it, they asked. And why should he lend it quickly to a distressed stranger, not knowing if it was a thief trying to make off with a device that usually costs around $2,000?
What if two people at the museum collapse at the same time and require defibrillating? What if the thief actually needed that money to save 3 lives?
I know what motherfucker ghostwrote this drivel.
They've rationalized it in a "My enemies got mad and lost their temper therefore I am vindicated" kind of way.
The fact that the game mocks their beliefs merely reinforces the enlightened status of those beliefs.
I think its just "oh u mad?" type vibes, the bad people talk about globalism therefore globalism is based now.
The whole setting is cope and seethe by commies about how based globalism is.
You can't talk to a person like this, what can you possibly say to someone who goes "I love bombing a country into perpetual poverty and exploitation where children listen to snuff radio and do drugs, thats so based" except 
Tbf I think the game dev said that there is no "good" endings in the sense that theres a true best case scenario, none of them are very pleasant.
The community just decided that one was the good one cause of the promise aspect.
This is an animal hate crime of a game, jesus.
Its like when people pointed out the bad implications of Resident Evil 5 of a big white military guy being targeted for lynching by hordes of dark African men, and then later in the game literal tribals wearing human bones, but with the animal life of Africa instead.
Bill Gates saw a tweet about hooking up a vibrator to your xbox or something like that probably.
Also the average tv viewer(universally understood to be dumb rubes who are 5-10 years behind in their tastes and opinions) get to vote on the shared universal timeline of the adventure that you experience.
Well, there's their problem.
