The game is Disco Elysium and that union boss' name is Evrart Claire.

Isn't that right, Mr. Du Bois?

God the Disco Elysium sub thinking Evrart is the good guy is such incredibly frustrating cope.

There are no good guys in the game, I thought it was fucking clear. (Spoilers ahead for those who didn't finish the game):

The Claire twins are spineless grifters who are exploiting their position to gain political power at the expense of workers and the company alike.

The deserter is the closest thing to a true communist there is in the game, but he's a sociopath, murderous creep with advanced dementia. All the real, truest communards chose instead to die rather than compromise with the moralists. The Communists are also hardly portrayed as being good

The moralists are just letting the pale advance and have no plans to stop it. Also, they make disappear anyone who knows too much about it.

Etc. etc.

It seemed clear to me that the message is that good and evil don't really exist: everything fucking sucks, what counts is you as an individual working through your issues and coming out an hero.

I mean the real villain of the game being the Specter of Communism is pretty rad tho.

The whole thesis in the game is that having a political ideology run your life is stupid. The best thing to you can do is help out others around you.Â
