    It's weird because I think Burial at Sea, by retconning Daisy Fitzroy to not be a child murderer, kind of fixed some of the enlightened centrist political issues, but it made the story weaker in general. So I don't know how to feel about it.

        The random NPCs' dialogue in Battleship Bay about how racist they are is a bit on the nose but it achieves the same effect.

        Right. I don't really know how they could've kept the theme of like, multiverse sci-fi crap on the same page as the usual Bioshock political commentary, but as it is the game is a mess where the two main concepts the game explores are completely unrelated and don't work with each other at all, even disregarding the actual politics. Very different from Bioshock 1, where it was shown that even in an ideal scenario in an ideal sociopolitical context for a libertarian utopia to arise, it will still devour itself.
