** This, apparently, was always one of your character's personality traits. When talking to Nix Gottleib, who knew you before your breakdown, a failed Rhetoric passive can appear in which your character decides 'they are rejecting you for political reasons', but before you can say anything Gottleib will cut you off by clarifying that it has nothing to do with your politics and he doesn't want to hear any of your theories on the subject.

**Your character's political orientation is determined largely by making dialogue choices like this when discussing unrelated subjects, especially when excusing your own AlcoholInducedIdiocy. You can insist that the reason your hotel room is trashed is because you "defied bourgeoisie morality in here... defied it hard"; explain that you drunk-drove your extremely expensive car into the sea "due to following the invisible hand of the market"...
**In particular, this is a constant gag associated with the game's [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets communists]]. Dros thinks everything is reactionary, such as popular music, sex, or merely not being pathologically miserable all the time. In ''The Final Cut'', the infra-materialists' supposedly revolutionary political cell is really just a get-together where they denounce various pop culture artefacts as an encapsulation of why CapitalismIsBad, ranging from fantasy books (anti-worker) to board games (imperialist) to car racing (counterrevolutionary). If your character chooses to internalise the Communist-aligned Mazovian Socio-Economics thought, the description explains that becoming a Communist has 'made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth' and that instead of wanting to organise, he now just wants to rehearse everything awful about the world by subjecting it to critical analysis.
