    Moralism has moral in it, so it must be a pretty great ideologynormal

      Now this is reddit:

      Redditer 1: exactly! they internalised communism too deeply, it seems, drinking the proverbial Kool-aid

      Redditer 2: Glad to see someone else is not consumed with ideological echo chambers and intellectual cowardice! Good for you man!

      Redditer 1: lol this game was meant for us my friend. I'm giggling at the downvote on my previous comment. They really are the height of irony.

      Redditer 2: It sure is. I am also laughing at the downvote army ignoring to look in the mirror of irony and seeing themselves.

        there is a gang of ideologues that are on this sub and its the height of painfully amusing irony. It's like they missed a lot of the genius of the game considering DE's theme of falling into ideology as if they were a part of our being.

        They are the type of people who are just smart enough to understand the basic concepts of the ideologies in the game but not capable of much critical thinking and no ability to see the wood for the trees.

        Tragic

    Its just whatever the status quo is. The purest form of conservatism. If you have a radically socialist society last for enough generations then you'll get moralists defending it against any changes. Hopefully a socialist society would continue to rapidly evolve so this doesn't happen but that's beside the point. Its purely relative.

      One of the things that gave me a whiplash (but makes perfect sense in context) is how the socialists in Ostalgie:Berlin Wall are referred to as conservatives.

      I've heard zizek describe himself as that, essentially. A "conservative communist" who has whatever ideology is going to preserve whatever is gained by the revolution

    I vibed so hard with the stuff Noid had to say about Dolores Dei, sorry ZA/UM but the Hardcore Aesthetic is NOT JUST DRUGS (only mostly)

        It's why I see Noid as a long Nietzsche reference, down to fascists cynically adopting his own "hardcore aesthetic." He calls Dolores and Humanism "part of a long term strategy" in a way that mirrors what Nietzsche wrote about slave/master morality too iirc, good stuff.
