    Joyce Messier from the game Disco Elysium stating: "One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma's coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it intead..."

    One of my favorites is any place selling a Che Guevara shirt

      Man what an excellent fucking quote

      What is that from, is it disco Elysium? (Never played it, the art style just kinda feels like what I remember disco Elysium looking like in)

        Incidentally, the studio behind it was also taken over by capitalists via some trickery

        Which means it’s completely moral to pirate it despite it being an indie game originally. Those who made it wouldn’t get a cent if someone buys it anyway

          Oh I remember! ZA/UM strong-armed the creators out of the IP so now they encourage people to pirate it. And it’s extremely easy to find!

          The founders of the company won’t get a cent, but the coders and the people who labored to create the game are still there and would benefit from it.

          So if you want to be anti-capitalist, pirate it, but if you want to support the people who labored to create it, buy it.
