That thread is like the dude expressing the most American opinion in history, getting lit up and going, "you might have a point."
Appears to be a woman from the images in their post history. Could also be a man that likes to wear acrylics, but all available signs are not pointing in that direction.
Yeah that was a mistake on my end, defaulted to gendered language. Apologies.
All the fash options in Disco are either being racist or misogynistic. There's some nationalism but it's mostly racism too. Come on
Come on
After reading the thread, some of the feels right seem to also be what they think was required to move the story forward, for example, placating Measurehead.
NGL only way I found to get past him that didn't involve being racist was high-rolling to sock the bastard lmao, even then I crashed and had to save scum it two dozen times to do it again.
Just take off your pants and jump off the roof. Easy breezy, lemon squeezy in your tighty whities.
I genuinely cannot tell if you're taking the piss rn.
It's a Savoir Faire skill check, so taking off the default Flare-cut Trousers slightly improve your success chances.You can get past Measurehead by
getting onto the roof of the Whirling-in-Rags, hopping over to the roof of Leo's guard post, and jumping into the Harbour.
All those scabs could've been earning money if they just put a few points into savoir-faire.
The one time I tried that I ate shit on the roll and immediately died. I figured I was the wrong build or something to use that route
no piss here, there's a 
check up there to avoid measurehead entirely
That's how I got through mine.
If I remembred Kim doesnt really judge you if you use the placate route, like he asks you if you really believe all that nonsense measurehead says and you can say no. In fact the game doesnt even give you fascist points for that if i remember (presumably because you can potentially fuck up the 2 skill checks to avoid having to placate measurehead) I didnt know that you can sneak past measurehead in my first playthough and Kim still refers to my Harry as a commie by the end.
So you really have to out of your way to make Kim refer you as fash
I really need to finish Disco one of these days.
Same
Ah the just following orders
The average "apolitical" American would have supported the Nazi party in Weimar Germany
The average "apolitical" American supports the current Nazi party.
Which one?
There's only one party, but in typical American extravaganza their two of them.
hes not racist. he’s just “realistic”. he isnt right wing and isn’t political either. he just thinks all the same stuff as fascists
he’s just a chill guy
After reading the thread, standard 'hasn't had to think hard about it' American by the looks of it. The real big one is the "centrist" stance that seems derived from a lack of political understanding more than any ideological commitment to centrism.
getting a political awakening from disco elysium reading you to filth. y'know, there are probably less effective means of being prompted to develop political consciousness. maybe they'll want to read enough that kim won't call them a fascist? 
incredible self report tbh
Understanding this game better as a non-political person?
Read 
I'm apolitical, and I only enjoy the classics like Birth of a Nation and Triumph of the Will.
Getting home from work and reading that made me laugh. Thanks.
New political cum piss just dropped
Just a fascist out of pure luck
I do not understand a lot of the political fundamentals.
This has to be a troll, self-aware chuds are literally one in a million
This reminds me of when I tried a fash run. I put all of Harry's stats in physical and speed stats and nothing in the intellectual and emotional stats. Fash Harry was so dumb that he never learned what the Pale was and couldn't do the vision quest.
You know, for all the things that the game has; that's actually not too far off. I've known a lot of those types that introspection is something that is non-existent. I genuinely think having a level of introspection beyond kindergarten is something that is nearly required to apply logic to empathy and thus have better political ideals than "people in concentration camps make my gas cheaper".
measurehead? he seemed like a really well meaning guy idk
I think this is an old post, but generally it's a good opportunity to educate someone on the political meaning of what they defaulted to, because it might help them realize they have some negative attitudes. They clearly seem concerned about being consistent with fascism.
They seem to be taking things to heart.
Though they might just be gullible as fuck. Who knows?
Oh, then it's a good chance now for someone who has a Reddit account . . .
OP supposedly didn't realize being racist was fascist
That doesn't impact the ending and he was just saying it to get past Measurehead. I don't think it's indicative of much of anything. I probably would have done the same if I didn't manage to pass the check to knock him out instead.
Interesting thread.
Time for some work.

But I'm a part of the Moralintern, I can't be accused of reactionary beliefs and actions!
at the end of the fascist run do you fight Disco Elysium's version of sans? 
spoiler
The fascist run punishes you throughout. It’s actually more difficult because choosing fascist options regularly embarrasses you and damages your health and morale. The only run that has a different ending is the moralist ending where Harry is identified as the next Innocence and escorted onto an airship to be killed by the Moralintern. But even then it’s more of an implication than direct text iirc.
Trotskyist physics vindicated again
