In the middle of the game, the lead black liberation fighter (who has been based and pretty chill the whole game), tries to slit a rich dude's child's throat in cold blood. Like, she's been fighting to end segregation, white supremacy, and poverty, but these libs need to be able to ~bOtH sIdEs~ that shit, so all the black/poor/irish fighters are actually just bloodthirsty and vengeful, and immediately turn on their allies and destroy the entire city. The rest of the game was pretty chill, but i remember that part just blowing me the fuck away.
I'm almost 100% certain that ubisoft is going to pull something similar here
There's a difference between if theres like a royal bloodline thing going on vs literally just self indulgent brutality and collective punishment of death.

Honestly Bioshock gets a lot of praise around here but I just replayed it and noticed they both-sides'd the left by making Atlas (liberator, helper of the poor/homeless) a giant con man lol
But I think we all overlooked it so they had to go all ham-fisted in Infinite
I think people overlook it too cause Bioshock is basically a post-apocalypse, the city is essentially doomed before you even start. With Infinite the city is just Amerikkka+ basically, and the revolution directly mimics slave revolts and shit like that, so both-sidesing there feels particularly bad since it feels like a statement that can translate to real life politics.
I don't remember Infinite being that bad for a lib game, but I also played it before I became a third-world Maoist sooo

I agree this part is terrible.

lol 100% yeah but their victory song slaps
They built a city in the clouds, they raised her up with joy. Reflection of America from Maine to Illinois. Away we're put in bars and stocks, for higher interests ployed, Until our chains are broken by the girl they call Fitzroy!
