Marx would totally write on the liberation of the outlanders rule

Okay but which great house does Marx join?
Edit: Trick question, he'd be an ashlander.
- Honestly Marx pretty well approximates Nerevar.
  Had all the power to make a positive impact on the world and then three asshole dictators drag his name through the mud long after his death.
  
  ...while he's high on skooma in a hole somewhere
- Stark, probably? 🤷

But which copotype would he be in Disco Elysium?
- I remember some people on Twitter being mad when at the end of the game, the game told them that they were fascists. It's funny to me because unless you were playing a total piece of shit, you always came out as a communist in this game.
  
  He's so me

what's the original lol
- this is the og
  
  idts. the “morrowind” text has a font weight far thicker than the rest, and the morrowind book covers something in the background that peaks out a bit at its top left

Can someone please explain the joke?
- Just a bit of absurdism. Modern-day leftists often fight over the legacy of Marx, who was hugely influential; the joke here is that "IF MARX WAS HERE TODAY HE'D-" and instead of "be 'x' ideology" it's "Enjoy a well-regarded classic game"
  
  Ah, thank you stranger. I feel kind of dumb now lol.

He would prefer Skyrim, because Skyrim belongs to the Nords.

How can you kill a god?
- Shame on you, sweet Nerevar.

I want your psycho, your vertical schtick (hey)
When you're in Morrowind, oh, baby, that's sick

- Referencing Marx is any fashion is tankie behavior?
  
  Just consider it a warning for everyone here, is all. Praising Marx unprompted is definitely leaning into dangerous territory.
- Calling any mention of Marx "tankie behavior" is fairly close to Nazi behavior, ngl. You need to grow an ounce of critical thinking from this experience, or you'll turn into a loser who hangs out with fascists instead of punks.
- I don't know what a tankie is and at this point I'm afraid to ask.
  
  A tankie is an authoritarian communist, the kind of folks who play apologist for the Soviet and Chinese regimes running over protesters with tanks. Hence the name.
