It's kinda like how the phrase "redpill" was appropriated from the two most liberal directors in Hollywood to mean "aware of the liberal agenda surrounding everything".

No, this is what the elite want us to focus on while they enslave us all. It's divide-and-conquer. And morons keep falling for it.

that e-mail in the Picus headquarters where a new journalist is told how to completely twist his stories without changing the basic facts was probably the biggest red pill Deus Ex has thrown
the game tries to play these by banalizing them but i can't imagine that anyone who isn't opposed to current media hegemony would write something like that

So what Deus Ex claims is that elites are ... rich and that there are aliens. Aliens on this Earth.
Why didn't Denton ask Tong how come Hong Kong looks so nice while rest of China looks ass backwards?
Adam Brown
Only if you them to.
Anthony Brooks
Because it's marketed as science fiction
It's only when you Google everything and see the thousands of sources they're talking about do you discover it's all true.
Dominic Ramirez
>how come Hong Kong looks so nice while rest of China looks ass backwards? Capitalism and also being fairly independent from China proper when it comes to administration
Jeremiah Jackson
Deus ex is if every 90s conspiracy was real at once. That was the basic premise, you faggots claim to know videogames but dev journals are basic knowledge.
Parker Myers
In game that's not the case. Honk Kong is under mainland control.
Connor Evans
>and that there are aliens. Aliens on this Earth Weren't they just genetically modified cows?
Parker Perry
Yup. We'll never be all equals. There will always be inequalities. There should always be inequalities. We are different. Equality is inhuman and can only be enforced by a hellish system. At the same time we don't want anybody to be poor or exploited. Everybody should have the capability to build up capital and have a decent living. Inequalities should be kept under control. They used to be. It has gotten so much worse than before. Right now our biggest problems are globalization (the capitalist elite now operating at a level higher than nation states, who are losing their economic sovereignty, thus making democracy meaningless (except for the petty squabbles encouraged by the media)), foreign collusion (Russia is a red herring, the real culprits are Saudi Arabia and China, they're the ones with the most influence on the US by far), a huge engineered labor surplus (keeping wages low and workers docile), and large scale algorithmic mind control (look at what Facebook/Google/Twitter are doing). We have been slowly demoralized for a long time to accept all of this. The SJWs are just the cherry on top of this turd cake. They want us to fight among each others over scraps. They have unreasonable demands. They have no real understanding of any of these issues. They are useful idiots meant to sabotage the left and render it harmless to the capitalist elite. They were propped up by the elite as a divide and conquer mechanism. The right are in open revolt and the republicans are reforming themselves. The left and the democrats need to do the same. I fucking hate the new Deus Ex games. It's all SJW crap but replace race/gender with augmented people. It's sad.

We aren't even living in the heyday of conspiracy theories, there used to be spoopy religious conspiracies too.
Jason Sullivan
That's what the breitbart base want. Which is fine. A wall probably would help. Frankly I think the immigrants who are already there, most of them could stay but they would have to be legalized and operate with the same rules as everyone else. Overall, immigration needs to be kept under control and our cultural issues need to be addresses head-on though. The biggest problem for now is economic though, and Trump keeps on doing good on this but ultimately it is connected to everything else. For now the republicans should be supported as long as they keep making progress and there should always be pressure on them. Eventually the democrats will be forced to reform themselves (which they want to avoid at all cost, thus they need Trump to fail), and when that happens they might be the best party for the US in the long-term many reasons.
Sebastian Lopez
Well if we are being honest the people with the best track record in America when it comes to correctly identifying real conspiracies were leftist in the early 70s and 80s. Watergate, the CIA kidnapping and drugging people and Cointelpro in particular come to mind.
Connor Reyes
dudesex is LITERALLY redpilled and not redpilled in the meme "dude kill niggers lmao" way but literally and actually redpilled in the redpilled sense, absolutely most spooked game of all time. i wish we could discuss exactly how redpilled it was without the thread devolving into gay identity politics. absolutely SPOOKED.
Carter Lee
The left truly used to have the intellectual edge. They should get back to that. Leftists is what the elite feared the most. So they put a lot of efforts to sabotage them and render them harmless. And it worked. Now the left is more concerned with winning their cultural war with conservatives than the betterment of society. They have forgotten their principles a long time ago. Now they have open disdain for the working class. They are pro-globalization. How fucked up is that? It wasn't that way before. Also they will pretend that these things are not true, but you look at what they support politically, and that's the case. The thing is that the dumbest, most active republicans are old. They're all dying off now. The dumbest, most active democrats are a fresh batch though. They're there for a lonnng time and the democrats are stuck with them. Unless they do something.

You can tell they had SJWs among their writers. They make everything this fucking stupid. There's never any arguing with them, they're too self-righteous for that. Absolutely toxic people.
Brayden Lopez
OP said game, so he was talking about the first not the series as a whole. There's a segment with Denton in Invisible War where he goes fucking in philosophically though, but the rest of the overall direction of the lore in that game isn't quite up to snuff.
Also HR did make some points, it just did so less bravely. Things like manufactured wars, terrorism, economic and media manipulation, biological warfare, police states, FEMA camps and so on are alluded if not stated or shown.
They're just never made too much the focus since Adam isn't interested or involved in them, as far as he knows initially anyway, so much as finding his ex-gf and beating up the guys who kidnapped her.
Elijah Long
Here's a direct quote >"We wanted to make the story as realistic as possible—if you look at the patterns in history there are very similar patterns in terms of segregation, discrimination, and just finding any reason to isolate and take control other people. It's the same story told over and over again. As human beings, we tend to find any reason—whether that's race, gender, religion—to discriminate against others. So it just makes sense that augmentations would lead to that."
Bentley Sanchez
They're on the right path, but the problem is that they only look at these issues on the surface level. It's like they didn't bother to actually delve into the causation behind these events and the vast web of consequences they have. Then again MD is a game of a smaller scale so maybe it works that way.

Isaiah Phillips
They may have taken a wrong turn a while ago. Of course it matters that there are inequalities at this level. But they are completely wrong about the causes and the solutions. Especially about the long-term solutions. They are being manipulated and they don't even care. The issue is mostly emotional with them, there is no intellectual basis to it. That's why they get so triggered and angry when you even try to argue. They would have to be deprogrammed. They truly see the country as whites vs blacks, men vs women. This is how the elite wants us.
Kayden Peterson
Mentioning these topics doesn't make it redpilled if anything if trivialises them by putting them in a video game
William Rodriguez
No, he's right. He's implying the premise of their idea for augmentation bias resulting in Class division at the very least touches on divide and conquer strategies, which the Picus TV and Taggart are proven to be using by the way, but he's suggesting the game itself does a poor job or does not really at all bring up the machinations behind this aside from the obvious that it causes conflict.
DE on the other hand directly suggested what one might aim to do by scattering and confusing your opponent.
Josiah Peterson
No the blacks just appropriated the term
David Barnes
While im sure their own biases are in there the entire concept for the game was literally what if all conspiracies were actually true. So i doubt it was too hard to write some of that stuff in.

Blake Fisher
They unironically are. The clash of cultures weakens nations and makes them easier to exploit. Democracy does not work when people are divided. Every little group only defending their own interests and not enough collaboration to defend the interests of society as a whole, thus conditions slowly deteriorate for everyone as they fight over an ever diminishing share of the pie. You can look at Singapore for an example of that and how they dealt with in in a somewhat westernized nation. Anybody who opposes globalism and the weakening of the nation-state is termed a racist. That's just one of the tools they use to manipulate people into accepting their plans and the SJWs made it work much better than they would have hoped. Globalists enslaved the third world to US corporations. And they used division and destabilization strategies and corrupted their governments using their wealth and the support of intelligence agencies, since this was in the best interest of the US. Now they want to do exactly the same thing to western nations.

Most of this of this is conspiracy 101 and not very far fetched at all.
Joseph Morgan
It's funny that the writers are basically admitting that there was a good reason for apartheid.
Evan Mitchell
They give plausible excuse within the universe.
There's a negative reaction to implants that requires an artificially expensive and limited drug, in increasing strengths at that. The reaction to the implants and/or withdrawal from the drug causes people to become sickly physically and mentally which can cause violent obsession and behavior. That's just touching on those who need the technology and are impoverished in society like soldiers who lost limbs or those like Darrow who were born with defects.
It's also not just pro vs anti-Transhuman debat, though that's lazily thrown in there, or the wealthy having prostheses as a status symbol, though that sort of comes into play when it's alluded by Hung and his associates that Adam's military grade gear and those with it could take half the city before anyone even managed to scratch him, which is proven when all out civil war happens later. Therefore much like firearms, and no I'm not trying to get into that topic /k/ I'm just pointing out the connection, there's an implied threat as to who has what.
This isn't just about having a wood stump anymore. If you're thinking around the running blades athletes have obviously that's harmless and not going to start anything, but within Deus Ex it is shown the technology has gone well beyond that. How can anyone miss this? You're playing as someone who is practicing the equivalent of conceal carry of a small armory.
You can't say there won't be consequences from this sort of thing existing in a world like that. It would be nonsensical if no one addressed or felt threatened by it.

FF:HR is just taking a smorgasboard of topical rhetoric and throwing it into a game about cybernetic enhancement. Deus Ex was hardly about that kind of thing.

Hong Kong looks good because it was a British colony until 20 years ago and it's been falling into shit ever since the reds got hold of it.
