he has read marx, most people in soviet education were at least in some capacity taught marxist philosophy throughout their schooling. it's more about how much he believes in it/agrees with it (very little, obviously. he only really agrees with opposing western hegemony and nothing more) than how much he knows.

being involved with other trans women recently has been incredibly affirming for my own gender as a trans woman. almost no dysphoria from it and its all affirming and enjoyable. feels great to be really treated like a woman.
my mistake, i seemed to have interpreted her to be a cop for some reason. my point still stands with the random NCPD activities around the map.
i think you have to use a nonlethal takedown or something but yeah its pretty stupid
probably because its good streaming content if i had to guess.
you know the contradictions are hitting all time highs when the capitalist media starts putting out "participating in capitalism is ruining capitalism". god bless.
stuff like this is genuinely really nice to see as a trans person, thank you
they literally used a picture of master chief in some social media advertising for this panel. a man who was kidnapped as a child by a militaristic state to be made into a living killing machine stripped of all humanity he ever had. they're definitely not being subtle about it.
the game even has some in-game cartoons that mock the police force in the game, animations put out by the NCPD that depict the police officers as buff cool dogs and civilians as stupid little dogs and do show the NCPD to be authoritarian and overly violent. so they put effort into making the NCPD seem that way, but in actual gameplay they are nothing but heroes just trying to protect the city from cyberpsychos and gangs, with the police fixer telling V to simply incapacitate cyberpsychos as if ACTUAL police wouldn't be eager to slaughter someone (like capitalist police truly are like). this incongruence totally destroyed the message and immersion for me and made the actual game seem more pro-police.
without spoiling too much, the whole plot of the expansion is kinda liberal bullshit with garbage about maintaining "loyalty to the ideals of the country" and "duty to protect it". the missions themselves are cool, the story sucks.
it also totally misses the mark in some aspects. in actual gameplay, you have the ability to work for the police and literally help them fight people around the city. there's literally a whole copaganda mission glorifying some sexy detective. corps are evil, and capitalism has gone too far, but the police are your friends and you should help them shoot people on the street!
capitalism has gotten so evil and indefensible that its supporters have fallen to the level of denying that it as a system even exists and so no criticism against it is valid at all
