How did disco elysium portray the rural chud archetype so perfectly?

i'd turn into a cynical racist too if i looked like that

He's not the chud, this was.

>>737110667
Genuinely, do you think he had a problem with Kim or disliked him? I couldn't tell if he was just playing nice to a cop or was genuinely racist from only a "we are superior" or "all gooks have bad eyes, it's OK buddy" angle and didn't actually dislike him.

Feasibly, how could the lorry drivers actually be able to live in that blockade while the company is waiting for things to resolve with the dispute? I doubt the companies would pay the drivers food and rooms while they're stuck out there, even if they slept in the cars they still have to eat and bathe?
>>
>>737113893
From what I remember, the drivers likely don't have a choice. Nobody's going to help them if they complain or fuck off.

I only beat the game once and didn't go in this direction, is the old Christian sun crown thing a visual sign of being nationalist or or something?

it was much more impressive that they convinced everyone that pic related is a mysterious beauty everyone wants to fuck and not an appalling troon

anons on this board literally still pretend it isn't a drawing of a troon, this must be the true power of marxism

yes it's the old revachol flag

>>737110667
Because you share a hivemind that has only one vision of what a "rural chud [sic]" looks and acts like.
>>
>>737113725
Considering what he has to say during the Fascism political vision quest, yes. I'd say he did genuinely dislike Kim. He certainly dislikes the presence of foreigners in Revachol at the very least.

For any cumboys out there, her original actress was Dasha Nekrasov's, Adam Friesland's ex fiancé. I wonder if so, how much of ZA/UM know or are into Cumtown, as the in-universe book character Dick Mullen clearly seems inspired and possibly copied by Nick Mullen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIkvXoH28g0&t=304).

Going around slums finding people disenfranchised enough to fuck in the ass? I did like the way he spoke, and he was even better at deflecting than Everart.

I think you're definitely right. But at the same time, how are you supposed to convince Kim, who has only known you for a short time, that you aren't actually communist/racist/fascist/whatever when you go around single-mindedly agreeing with communists/racists/fascists/etc.?

>>737116240
I think Moralism as a whole is the most insightful callout in the game.
It's the unnamed ideology of the center which reluctantly roleplays as socialist, liberal or conservative, but in truth despises them all. The center that only believes in price stability, incremental progress and maintaining the machine.

>>737117605
I know at one point when talking to Measurehead and Kim pulls you aside, the option "let me just humor him" comes up at some point, only for Kim to warn you about going down a bad path. I think they clearly meant to address my thought process (pretending for the sake of buddy'ing up) and say it leads down a pipeline. If that dialog tree actually could be used to trust the player and mechanically turn off say the affinity answer checks for that conversation, maybe also promting the player with a similar "are you just saying this?" question each time could help that. I get that solution sounds clunky but surley we can come up with a good middle ground solution if I came up with that in 5 seconds.

Any have that image of all the portraits lined up by background? How Titus' flag is crisp and vibrant. While his less convinced partners are more faded or tattered etc. A great detail I didn't quite get while playing

>>737117984
My issue is that I wanted to be a strong centrist, and moralism didn't give me that, it gave me something close but not quite there. I believe matters should be examined case by case, I believe that Harry calling for backup from a higher national authority once seeing the signs of the murder and trade dispute very quickly growing out of proportion and beyond his control/scope was an appropriate step (if we overlook that he probably ignored protocol of going through the Jamrock precinct and also told his Special Crime unit to fuck off when he needed then most, the blood that spilled at the Tribunal is on his hands).
It acted like incremental change isn't sometimes warrented or the best solution forward, sometimes to properly examine an issue you need to study and pull data from it before you can formulate a route forward. Yes, stagnation and appeal to the tradition and status quo for the sake of helps nobody in theory, but the exact same can be said for constantly "progressing society" for the exact same dogmatic faith of the philosophy over a logical reasoning for the impact it will do. If such a clear path forward were evident I wager the people would fight significantly less about that path. I think the moralist route did illustrate the downsides of centrism and appealing to the status quo, but it also felt like it strawmanned itself by having people fetishistically caught in the weeds like Hermes and the bureaucrats from Futurama

They got scared when Adam and Nick went on Red Eye and made a reactionary podcast to it.

Will Cuno join you if you don't give him his dad's drugs?

>>737110667
Why did Kim have a problem with this guy but not Measurehead? They're both racists.
>>
>>737128996
He was scared of Measurehead, and perhaps needing him for so many things (body removal, getting in to the harbor) made him more hesitant to speak ill.
>>
>>737128963
He joins you no matter what if Kim gets injured in the gunfight (the final skill check)

but racist rural chuds (chads) are actually right about literally everything.

Measurehead is like 3 heads taller than Kim, no one sane would want to insult or challenge the guy if you dont have a similar physique, he knew that. Obviously Harry didnt.

Right, traditionalism

>>737132604
Burke, the father of modern conservatism, has famously said
>A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation
In relation to that being ultra-traditionalist is also against conservative values.
But Macintyre also said
>Moral argument presupposes shared standards of evaluation. Where such standards are absent, debate becomes a clash of incompatible premises with no common measure.
So in this way, conservatism is only traditionalist in such a way that it is a rational and socially cohesive framework of which to progress with rather than against.

>>737131668
in truth - yes
but they would not call themselves that, because it sounds ideological
