I haven’t played the game, but I watched a video from someone who did, and their takeaway is that they do ‘make fun of everyone,’ but they make fun of communists the most because they are also communists, and it comes from a place of tough love that deplores the end of history.
I also read that becoming a fascist makes the game easier lol
If they make fun of everyone and that means everyone then they’re a dick because they make fun of homeless disabled orphans
“Making fun of everyone” is always, and I mean always, an excuse to be an asshole and mock people who dont deserve any derision
Edit: Being self deprecating and also lightly roasting others is different, people who do that usually know when to back off too, and are rightfully seen as dicks when they don’t
And that’s the worst thing. I know he’s a cop but I hated seeing him disappointed in me 😭 It started doing drugs less when around him for that reason lol
They only really make fun of communists “the most” in the sense that it’s the difference between constant mostly friendly teasing and occasional genuine disdain, but at the end of the day Communism is the only ideology presented in the game as fostering hope for the future and having an actual plan to make things better, to an almost satirical extent given that you genuinely will a physically impossible miniature construct to stand upright for a brief moment.
Meanwhile Fascism is so pathetic that the most empathetic part of its portrayal is that it kind of functions more as self harm to Harry, with him apparently willing himself into facial paralysis and brain damage by the end of the Fascism quest, Ultraliberalisms representatives are rabid death squad mercenaries and the woman who partially hired them, who in this context becomes extremely menacing as a closeted bourgeois nationalist, and Moralism is the people who kill everyone who ever wanted something better for the world, to which Harry is so completely removed from that power that if he becomes a Moralist he just fucking spouts complete bureaucratic gibberish like hes citing scripture.

“They make fun of everyone” is the calling card of a South Park fan and a clue to not listen to anything they have to say
If they “make fun of everyone” and that includes everyone they might be a leftist.
If they “make fun of everyone” except a mysterious libertarian shaped void that they don’t touch, they’re South Park reactionaries.
EDIT: I was mistaken. “Everyone” also includes punching down, and fuck that.

You’re absolutely right. I was mistaken and regret what I said now that you mentioned that.
don’t feel too bad
If you do the Ultra bazinga vision quests you don’t have to worry about money for the rest of the playthrough because you can bullshit so much out of
It’s the startup/venture capital way!
It also makes your partner (who is a well-meaning lib) very, very disappointed in you.
