| 10 | [[caption-width-right:350:Everyone Unreal Makes The Same Deal]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: They are the personifications of the four extreme ideologies outside the political compass; Ingsoc (Hyper-Totalitarian Centre), Darwinism (Hyper-Centre Right), Egoism (Hyper-Anarchist Centre), and Communalism (Hyper-Centre Left). |
| 13 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Ingsoc (Gray), Darwinism (Scarlet), Egoism (Teal), and Communalism (Rose). |
| 14 | * EvilVersusEvil: While one could make cases for many of the Anti-Centrists' views, the Anti-Realists' goals are far less defendable. Although Communalism falls more into GoodIsDumb or ObliviouslyEvil. |
| 15 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Even more than [[Characters/{{Jreg}} the Anti-Centrists]]. |
| 16 | * VillainProtagonist: Ingsoc wants [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans a totalitarian state for the hell of it]], Darwinist wants to [[OmnicidalManiac kill]] and [[IAmAHumanitarian eat]] everyone and is [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero bigoted towards just about anyone]], Egoist is [[ItsAllAboutMe a narcissistic prick]] and Communalism is implied to want to [[AssimilationPlot assimilate everyone]]. [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Grej]] isn't any better, with his desire to destroy any semblance of [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking sanity, reality, and reasonable politics]]. |
| 17 | * VillainTeamup: Teamed up when the Anti-Centrists began the Centricide to begin the Realicide. |
| 18 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Averted. It's clear to tell that the goals many of the Anti-Realists aren't particularly ''sane'', let alone well-intentioned. |

| 21 | [[folder:Grej]] |
| 22 | !!Anti-Realist, Hyper-Anti-Centrist |
| 23 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grej_5.PNG]] |
| 24 | [[caption-width-right:350:"You ever notice how [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] boring politics have been lately? Think about it, [[NukeEm when's the last time someone nuked a whole country]] [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans just to create the environment needed for a new ideology]]?"]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | A political [=YouTuber=] and the leader of the Anti-Realists. Inspired by the exploits of [[Characters/{{Jreg}} Jreg and the Anti-Centrists]], he united the off-compass ideologies together to fight against the forces of realism. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * CardCarryingVillain: Grej openly admits as to why the ideologies he supports won't work and are actively damaging to political discussion. Which is why he does it. |
| 29 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Jreg, despite his status as an extremist, he only wanted the centrists gone to affirm real political change, regardless of what kind it brought. Grej however is motivated by pure insanity and believes the destruction of the political compass and even reality itself itself is a goal worth fighting for. [[spoiler:Even after Jreg was revealed to be EvilAllAlong and merges with Radical Centrist to become the ideology-destroying Accelerationism, he's ''still'' this trope, as Grej is [[CardCarryingVillain honest about his]] OmnicidalManiac nature from the get-go, while Jreg's agenda was more hidden aside from "destroy centrism".]] |
| 30 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite his love for unrealistic and harmful ideologies, he draws the line at [[spoiler: Cult Communalism]] when discussing how it's basically what real-life cults do to dehumanise their members. |
| 31 | * TheLeader: Leader of the Anti-Realists. |
| 32 | * NightmareFace: While most of the time it's the [[TheBlank lack of one]] thereof, when he ''does'' show his face it has a SlasherSmile complete with horrific black-bead eyes. |
| 33 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Jreg already was on shaky ground for good intentions, but Grej clearly knows why he's in the wrong, yet keeps going anyway. |
| 34 | * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: Grej has no physical form, and always appears as a ghost seemingly made of static. |

| 39 | [[quoteright:339:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grej_1.PNG]] |
| 40 | [[caption-width-right:339:"[[{{Newspeak}} Daygreet, proles. IngSoc equals AuthCent Party]]- ah. You want me to speak in Oldspeak, correct?"]] |
| 41 | The embodiment of Authoritarianism on the social axis of the political compass and Hyper-Auth Centre ideology. |
| 42 | ---- |
| 43 | * AboveGoodAndEvil: And if you disagree, he will unperson you. |
| 44 | * AffablyEvil: Despite wanting to create a dystopia, Ingsoc retains an air of politeness and civility. |
| 45 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of Authoritarianism. |
| 46 | * BadassLongcoat: Wears one as Ingcap. |
| 47 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: He's the personification of the TropeNamer. |
| 48 | * BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: He doesn't "murder" anyone. He "{{Unperson}}s" them. [[spoiler:In the case of Censure Authoritarian, [[PuffOfLogic this might be more literal than first described]].]] |
| 49 | * ColdHam: Ingsoc chews the scenery without even raising his voice. |
| 50 | * ComicallySerious: Is the only one that stays serious and composed in Squirrel! || Realicide 2.5 |
| 51 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Commie and Nazi merely want authoritarian states to achieve socialism and a home for white people respectively. Ingsoc wants totalitarianism for totalitarianism's sake. He's also one for Nazbol, the other "auth unity" and "auth center" ideology. Nazbol however is only considered auth center since there's no way to graph being economically left and culturally right on the compass, and Nazbol is still guided under the principle that totalitarianism is how one achieves an ethno worker's state. Ingsoc meanwhile is pure auth center, not concerned with economics or social policy that doesn't benefit the state. |
| 52 | * ControlFreak: Being the personification of Authoritarianism, he believes in total domination of everyone else's thoughts and actions for its own sake and anything that contradicts "the party" (which is basically himself) is an affront against nature. |
| 53 | * CoolOldGuy: Downplayed. Is stated to be the oldest of the four Anti-Realists, but it's not obvious from his sprites. |
| 54 | * CoolShades: Part of his [=IngCap=] persona. |
| 55 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: After Orwellian Realist's rant about banning Fortnite being "literally 1984," he claims that if he knew he could be a more oppressive authoritarian by encouraging monopolies, he'd have already done so, and proceeds to transform into "Ingcap". |
| 56 | * DoubleThink: Many of his statements are this on purpose. |
| 57 | * DrugsAreBad: Unless he controls the drugs. |
| 58 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: While Commie and Nazi are also totalitarian, they operate within a coherent ideological framework and see totalitarianism as a means to an end. Ingsoc, on the other hand, believes the only way a society should be run is by deliberate state-sanctioned tyranny and cruelty for the sake of it. |
| 59 | * EnemyMine: Sees his alliance with the other off-compasses as this. |
| 60 | * EvilBrit: Has a noticeable British accent due to [[{{Shoutout}} Orwell's own nationality]]. |
| 61 | * EvilOverlord: Seeks to rule over a dystopian state with an iron fist. |
| 62 | * TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Dissent against him is considered a {{Thoughtcrime}}. |
| 63 | * {{Expy}}: Of the party of the same name from ''[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''. |
| 64 | * TheHeart: Yes, seriously. Realistic Realist identifies his {{doublethink}} as the reason the Anti-Realists don't all kill each other. |
| 65 | ** In Squirrel! || Realicide 2.5, he tries to comfort Communalism by patting them on the back as they bawl their eyes out over the squirrel. |
| 66 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Fully admits being one, and goes as far as saying that "cognitive dissonance is practically [his] middle name". |
| 67 | * PuffOfLogic: This is how he {{unperson}}s people, or at least how he unpersoned [[spoiler:Censure Authoritarianism.]] |
| 68 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Has an Ingsoc-shaped scar over his right eye which lights up at various angles. |
| 69 | [[/folder]] |

| 71 | [[folder:Darwinist]] |
| 72 | !!Hyper-Centre Right, Hyper-Rightist, Rightist Rightism, Social Darwinist, Cultural Darwinist, New Founding Fathers |
| 73 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grej_2.PNG]] |
| 74 | [[caption-width-right:350:"It's not murder if it's the weak. Then it's just... ''[[DeadlyEuphemism hygiene in action]]''."]] |
| 75 | ->''"Letting the weak kids die is fuckin' based!"'' |
| 76 | A social Darwinist and the embodiment of the Right side on the economic axis of the political compass. |
| 77 | ---- |
| 78 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Doesn't believe this, but [[ChallengeSeeker challenges others to find such a person.]] |
| 79 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the economic far-right and of social Darwinism. |
| 80 | * AtLeastIAdmitIt: He points to Ahospice that denying medicine to children kills the weak as well, but unlike him Darwinism does not pretend not to. |
| 81 | * AxCrazy: He loves fighting, killing, and eating people. |
| 82 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He murdered a squirrel for no reason and put it on Egoist's bed as a "present." |
| 83 | * BloodSplatteredWarrior: His clothes are all soaked in the blood of those he's killed. |
| 84 | * CardCarryingVillain: Has no problem with people calling him evil, and doesn't do much to hide it, even admitting to being the "Evilest motherfucker you'll ever meet"... |
| 85 | * ClusterBleepBomb: When asked how he feels about slurs, he says multiple diverse slurs one after the other. |
| 86 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Nazi and Ancap believe in maintaining hierarchies based on race or class. Darwinist wants a society based purely on strength. |
| 87 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When Darwinist introduces himself and his MightMakesRight philosophy, Ahospice calls him insane. |
| 88 | --> '''Darwinist''': Hang the fuck on. ''I'm'' insane? You're the one denying basic fucking medicinal science. |
| 89 | ** Granted he doesn't have a problem with the fact that he denies other people things they need. He just doesn't appreciate being called insane by someone like Ahospice who ignores the obvious. |
| 90 | * EvilSoundsRaspy: The most amoral off-compass is the one with the growliest voice. |
| 91 | * ForTheEvulz: Kills and eats people both to prove his own superiority and for his own amusement. |
| 92 | * GotVolunteered: Is selected to look for Communalism by Grej despite his protests, as the latter does not trust Ingsoc and intends to kill Egoism. |
| 93 | * HeroKiller: Downplayed for [[spoiler: Ahospice, since its more of a EvilerThanThou moment]]. Played straight however for [[spoiler:Moralist, who was the most upstanding and kind-hearted Realist]]. |
| 94 | * IAmAHumanitarian: Is known to eat the corpses of those he kills.[[spoiler: Ahospice suffers this fate.]] |
| 95 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Darwinist's whole deal is that he has no sense of empathy to his fellow ideologies and would kill and eat them out of the idea that he is strong and they are weak. [[spoiler:When killing Moralist alienates his usual [[ButtMonkey punching bag]] Communalist -- now Cult Communalism -- he is visibly shaken and [[BlatantLies denies that he would miss them]], holding back tears as he does so.]] |
| 96 | * OmnicidalManiac: Wants to kill those he perceives as weak in order to "thin out the gene pool". |
| 97 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Arguably even more so than Nazi. Darwinist can barely go a sentence without saying something offensive. |
| 98 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Much like Ingsoc, he has a light-up scar over his right eye. |
| 99 | * ShoutOut: His ideal of people killing each other for their own gains and to prove supremacy is based on the ideology of the New Founding Fathers from ''Film/ThePurge'' movies and even introduces himself as such. |
| 100 | * SirSwearsALot: Basically everything he says is riddled with swears and slurs. |
| 101 | * SocialDarwinist: The living embodiment of this trope. Believes in his own genetic supremacy and will kill anyone he can to prove it. |
| 102 | * TokenEvilTeammate: More "[[EvilerThanThou Evil-er]] Teammate", compared to the more AffablyEvil Ingsoc and Egoist, and especially [[TokenGoodTeammate Communalist]], he's this, an open SocialDarwinist that kills anything he perceives as weak, openly admits to cannibalizing his enemies, and has no restraint in saying something offensive. |
| 103 | * VirtueIsWeakness: He believes that people caring about each other makes them weak. He even uses the Coronavirus pandemic as an argument in his favor. |
| 104 | [[/folder]] |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[folder:Egoist]] |
| 107 | !!Hyper-Lib Centre, Hyper-Anarchist, Individualist, Centre Anarcho-Egoism |
| 108 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grej_3_5.PNG]] |
| 109 | [[caption-width-right:350:"___ is a spook."]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | An anarchist and embodiment of Libertarianism on the social axis of the political compass. |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * AffablyEvil: Carries himself with an air of dignity and sophistication, though he doesn't care for the lives of others unless they directly impact his own. |
| 114 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of Egoist Anarchism. |
| 115 | * AntiNihilist: Zig-zagged. He believes life and morality are inherently worthless, but instead of being depressed about it, he goes (as Grej put it), "[[ItsAllAboutMe Fuck it, self-interest time]]". |
| 116 | * AwesomeEgo: It's in his name. |
| 117 | * BerserkButton: Doesn't want to be referred to as "Stirnerist Anarchism". |
| 118 | ** Don't tell him what to do. He'll only do something if he feels like it would benefit his ego and he will remind you if you try otherwise. |
| 119 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: The personification of this trope. If something pleases him, it's good. If it doesn't, it's bad. |
| 120 | ** Despite believing gender identity is a "spook", he has no problem using Communalism or Post-Left's preferred pronouns because choosing them was an active, conscious decision on their part. |
| 121 | * TheCameo: Was mentioned in [[{{WebVideo/Jreg}} the canon series]] in Centricide 6.5. |
| 122 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Ancom and Ancap seek the state's destruction to allow either communism or capitalism to flourish unimpeded. Egoist just wants the state gone for his own selfish reasons. |
| 123 | * DeadpanSnarker: Every word that comes out of his mouth is soaked in sarcasm and his own sense of superiority. |
| 124 | * EnlightenedSelfInterest: While Egoist only does anything to please his ego and thinks that rights are nothing but a spook, he also acknowledges that sometimes pleasing the egos of others through manners and compromise are a way of pleasing his own ego, if not immediately than in the long run. This is why he adheres to Communalism and Post-Left's gender pronouns despite neither believing in any form of gender-identity or trans-rights. |
| 125 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He may want to be allowed to do literally anything, but he seems rather disgusted with darwinist when he murders a squirrel and puts it on his bed for no reason. |
| 126 | * EvilBrit: Downplayed. His ideal society is simply one where he can do whatever he wants, but he constantly acts like a stuck-up asshole about it. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Also he has a British accent]]. |
| 127 | * {{Expy}}: Of the father of Egoist philosophy, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Stirner Max Stirner]]. Ironically, he dislikes being called "Stirnerism" and notes that Stirner's original ideology was too communalist for his liking. |
| 128 | * FantasticSlur: Refers to social constructs and anything he doesn't like as "Spooks". |
| 129 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and believes no-one (except him) deserves rights. |
| 130 | * GracefulLoser: After failing to unrealize Post-Left, he took his defeat with dignity. |
| 131 | * InsistentTerminology: |
| 132 | ** Demands to be referred to as "Egoism". |
| 133 | ** In "Realicide 3", he was not making cocoa, but hot chocolate milk. |
| 134 | * InsufferableGenius: He considers himself a brilliant, cultured individual and ''will'' let you know it. Just about every word coming out of his mouth is positively ''dripping'' with disdain and condescension. |
| 135 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Egoist believes himself to be the most important being in the universe. |
| 136 | * PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Downplayed. He believes he should be able to use slurs whenever he wants [[{{Hypocrite}} but he will not tolerate slurs being used against him]]. |
| 137 | ** Subverted in cases of gender. He willingly conforms to both Communalism and Post-Left's they/them and xe/xer pronouns and even corrects Grej on this, finding an egoistic benefit in doing so. |
| 138 | * QuintessentialBritishGentleman: He's sharply-dressed and speaks in a British accent. |
| 139 | * TheShortGuyWithGlasses: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Grej/comments/ix42hc/official_reference_sheets_are_now_available/ The official reference sheet]] depicts him as one of, if not ''the'' shortest character in Realicide. Also he wears glasses. |
| 140 | * SophisticatedAsHell: He looks and speaks like a cultured British aristocrat, though he isn't above swearing. |
| 141 | * WildCard: While he is on Grej's side, the moment helping him stops pleasing his ego, he isn't above refusing to do anything else or even helping the other side. |

| 147 | [[caption-width-right:350:"Have you seen our toothbrushes?"]] |
| 148 | ->''"Well of course good and evil may as well not mean anything, silly! In our world, everybody's happy, and no one's hurting anyone!"'' |
| 149 | A person who thinks they're a living hive-mind of multiple organisms and the embodiment of the Left side on the economic axis of the political compass. For [[spoiler:their Cult Communalist personality, see REALICIDE 3 SPOILER CHARACTER.]] |
| 150 | ---- |
| 151 | * AffectionateNickname: "Queerbait" by Darwinist, though it's certainly not affectionate. |
| 152 | * AllLovingHero: Communalist doesn't want to hurt anyone and would rather talk things out with them. |
| 153 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the economic far-left and communalism. |
| 154 | * BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Moralist gets killed right in front of them, causing them to become Cult Communalism.]] |
| 155 | * ChummyCommies: Communalism is a lovable nice guy who shows great concern for everyone around them and is the only extremist opposed to violence. |
| 156 | * CloudCuckoolander: When interviewed in Realicide 2, they try to think of something clever and witty to say, but end up accidentally saying "toothbrushes" instead. |
| 157 | * ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Commie and Ancom both want private property to be abolished, but draw the line at personal property. Communalism has no such problems. |
| 158 | * EvilerThanThou: Inverted, they don't realize a lack of force is not compatible with Communalism unlike Ancom and Tankie. |
| 159 | * ExpositoryPronoun: Their pronouns are They/Them and We/Our. |
| 160 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Moralist successfully coverts him into a more reasonable Left Communism, but than darwinist kills Moralist on his eyes, causing Communal to become the far worse Cult Communalism]]. |
| 161 | * MindHive: Is a collective of multiple organisms working together to masquerade as a single entity. |
| 162 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: [[spoiler:After Darwinist kills Moralist after he became Communalist's friend, they told him "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck you]]" and starts addressing him as "outsider." Since Communalist never swears or shows anger, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Darwinist is visibly disturbed by this]].]] |
| 163 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: |
| 164 | ** Their eyes glow a bit when they demand that no one, not even the interviewer, uses slurs. |
| 165 | * RousseauWasRight: They refuse to believe that people would take advantage of the "everything belongs to everyone" idea to hoard things out of spite. |
| 166 | * TokenGoodTeammate: They just want people to share by any means necessary ([[ThouShaltNotKill except killing, of course]]). When compared to the AxCrazy [[SocialDarwinist Darwinist]], the [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishly pretentious]] [[WildCard Egoist]] and the ControlFreak [[BigBrotherIsWatching Ingsoc]], Communalism is a ''saint'' by comparison. Immediately deconstructed, however, when it's pointed out having no backbone unlike Ancom and Tankie means no one will surrender their property to them, and holding would be an issue. It essentially hearkens back to Tankie's criticism of Ancom in the Political Compass Rap that keeping people in line without a state is contradictory. |
| 167 | * WingdingEyes: Has heart-shaped pupils. |

| 174 | * HeroAntagonist: Unlike the Centrists, who have an EvilVersusEvil or GreyAndGreyMorality dynamic with the Anti-Centrists, the Realists banded together to stop the Anti-Realists, who are all crazy. |

| 181 | ->''"Stay sharp everyone. It's what [[PosthumousCharacter Occam's Realist]] would've wanted."'' |
| 182 | The leader of the realists. "Proved" that the corners of the political compass are as extreme as societies can get. |
| 183 | ---- |
| 184 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of the political compass itself and political machiavellianism. |
| 185 | * BadBoss: Sent Orwellian Realist to talk to Censure Authoritarianism simply because the latter's specialty is shutting people up and he wants Orwellian Realist to shut up. [[spoiler:He also didn't care about Moralist's death.]] |
| 186 | * CaptainErsatz: To the Radical Centrist, being the leader of a group of ideological fallacies waging war against extremist ideologies. |
| 187 | * CoolShades: Which are also coloured like the Political Compass. |

| 195 | ->''"Well..that's not good innit?"'' |
| 196 | A realist who thinks that taking politics too far in one direction will end up going in the opposite direction. |
| 197 | ---- |
| 198 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: While Horseshoe Centrist thinks that extremists (especially authoritarian extremists) have more in common with each other than with centrists; Inversive Realist believes that attempts to create utopian societies always end up as dystopian ones. |
| 199 | * RedGreenContrast: He has red minus signs and green plus signs on his cheeks, hands, and eyes. |

| 208 | A person who compares post-modern politics to dystopian fiction. |
| 209 | ---- |
| 210 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Unlike Political Nihilist, who doubts things will change; Orwellian Realist doesn't want things to change. |
| 211 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Realistic Realist and Moralist are exasperated with his panic at Fortnite being banned, especially once [[MotorMouth he starts rambling]]. This lead to Realistic Realist sending him to talk to Censure Authoritarianism in the hopes that Censurist will shut him up. |

| 220 | A mole-like animal who won't accept complex political concepts. |

| 223 | * DayHurtsDarkAdjustedEyes: He states (in mole speak) that the sunlight in Ahospica hurts his “poor mole eyes”, justified since he’s a ''mole'' after all. |

[[spoiler:Censure Authoritarian is unpersoned by [=IngSoc=] via PuffOfLogic while Ahospice is KilledOffscreen and [[MonstrousCannibalism cannibalized]] by Darwinist.

| 270 | A pragmatic authoritarian ideology Ingsoc was sent to radicalize. He believes in totalitarian control through propaganda. |
| 271 | ---- |
| 272 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of Censurism, or authoritarian control through media. |
| 273 | * CaptainErsatz: Not unlike Socialist, Censurist [[spoiler:was destroyed by an ideology sent to recruit him,]] but unlike him Censurist ''does'' admire places like Russia and North Korea. |
| 274 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Along with Ahospice, he's one of the two most morally questionable fringe ideologies and has an electronically-deepened voice. |
| 275 | * {{Foil}}: To Ingsoc. While Ingsoc believes that the state has to indoctrinate its citizens to the point where their world-view is based around doublethink, the Censure Authoritarian believes that it is enough to lie to a populace and let them base their loyalties over a charismatic dictator, citing North Korea, Russia and [[TakeThat the United States]] as examples. |
| 276 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Is unpersoned by Ingsoc very quickly and we only get the account of what he said by him.]] |
| 277 | * PragmaticVillainy: His whole schtick compared to Ingsoc, as he prefers [[StatingTheSimpleSolution lying directly to the people and using a charismatic dictator]] to thorough indoctrination and DoubleThink. |
| 278 | * PuffOfLogic: [[spoiler:Ingsoc unpersoned him by convincing him he didn't really exist.]] |
| 279 | * TakeThat: Due to the waves of censorship there, he has the Website/YouTube logo on his hat. |

| 288 | ->''"You’re the one denying basic ethics!!! And furthermore, [[BlatantLies I do not “deny science”!]]"'' |
| 289 | An anti-science ideology that Darwinism was sent to radicalize. He believes that medicinal science causes more harm than good. |
| 290 | ---- |
| 291 | * AllegoricalCharacter: He's basically every MoralGuardian who denies the obvious facts and shelters their kids out of some misguided sense of moral imperative, from making a big deal about cursing for fear of it affecting child psychology to outright denying basic medical science out of a paranoid fear of side-effects. |
| 292 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of Medical Skepticism. |
| 293 | * BlatantLies: When he claims that he did scientific research that proves that basic modern medicine causes more problems than it solves, Darwinist just says "[[ArmorPiercingResponse No you haven't]]" and Ahospice very obviously tries deflecting. |
| 294 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Conservative, who except for his idolization of [[InsistentTerminology Dr.]] Jordan B. Peterson was mostly normal (both mentally and morally) in comparison to [[StrawCharacter Nazi]]. Ahospice's InsaneTrollLogic, by contrast, pushes ''Darwinist'' into the role of the OnlySaneMan. |
| 295 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Is disemboweled by Darwinism during his VillainousSong and by the time we see his corpse, it has already been cannibalized and rendered a lump of meat by Darwinism.]] |
| 296 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first encounter with Darwinism has him throw a Molotov cocktail at a pharmacy [[LackOfEmpathy while Darwinism watches]]. |
| 297 | * {{Foil}}: To Darwinism. While Darwinism believes that anyone who cannot exist independently is not worth helping (like babies with failing immune systems), Ahospice claims that at least ''he'' has some form of ethics, denying others basic medicine out of a fear that they could cause more problems than they solve. |
| 298 | * FunTShirt: The writing on his shirt constantly shifts between "I want to speak to a MANAGER," "GASP!" and "Love them, protect them, never inject them." |
| 299 | * InsaneTrollLogic: When Darwinist points out that he did not find any studies or proof that vaccines cause autism and cancer, Ahospice very snootily claims that he ''didn't'' find proof that they ''don't'' do that. The Darwinist is completely lost by this point. |
| 300 | --> '''Darwinist''': Okay, I can't even begin to go into the reasons why you deserved to be sterilized for that statement. |
| 301 | * TakeThat: He is an anti-vaxxer who is portrayed as inept and stupid, stubbornly contradicting himself in a futile attempt at winning the argument and being responsible for the deaths of the children he is trying to protect out of incompetence. |
| 302 | * ThinkOfTheChildren: He shames Darwinism for his swearing for fear that a child might hear it and tries to keep kids from getting vaccinated because he thinks it causes autism and cancer. He is of course very bad at this trope because of the later reason. |

| 309 | An anti-capitalist anarchist ideology that Egoist was sent to radicalize. |
| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of Post-Left Anarchism, or anarchism that rejects both capitalism and Leftist collectivism in-favor of insurrectionary revolt. |
| 312 | * CaptainErsatz: To Libertarian, being a more moderate version of one of the protagonists (Post-Left to Egoist, Libertarian to Ancap) who in-spite of their disagreements get along very well, driven to the other side of the war because the extremist position wants him dead. |
| 313 | * {{Foil}}: To the Egoist. They're both anarchist ideologies that values personal autonomy and sees capitalism as a "spook", but by virtue of willing to work with others in a collective anything and adhering to any set of principles beyond their own selfish gain at the moment makes Post-Left different from the Egoist. |
| 314 | * NeutralNoLonger: Just like how Libertarian joined the Centrists, Post-Left joins the Realists. |
| 315 | * OneSteveLimit: Since the Realicide shares a universe with [[WebVideo/{{Jreg}} Centricide]], this means that this is the ''third'' anarchist ideology in this world that shares the name "Post-Left." |

| 322 | A socialist ideology that Communalist was sent to radicalize. |
| 323 | ---- |
| 324 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of utopian socialism, or the seizing the means of production via moral persuasion and peaceful methods. |
| 325 | * CaptainErsatz: To the Progressive from Centricide. Both are leftist ideologies built on good intentions with a laid back attitude that two opposing ideologies (Political Nihilist and Anarcho-Communist/Moralist and Communalist) try to indoctrinate, only for those two ideologies to completely forget about him in their debate. |
| 326 | * {{Foil}}: To the Communalist. While the Communalist has no concept of property, the Utopian Socialist ''does'' and thinks that people should at least learn to share a little. |

| 340 | * InterfaceScrew: He manifests himself on Erin's computer to talk with her directly. |
| 341 | * MythologyGag: Senatorialism's status as an almost Lovecraftian entity is a reference to its memetic status on the Political Compass Ball wiki and subreddit for being a made up ideology that just manifested itself onto the wiki one day with the people who vouched for it realizing that not even themselves knew what the ideology meant aside from a name and a vague rule by Senators. |

| 352 | * BeyondTheImpossible: The living personification of this trope. Jreg and Grej are against the current status quo and reality respectively, but Chaosism is the enemy of reason, rationality and every status quo and ideology in history. |
| 353 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Chaosism wants a permanent revolution to swallow the entire universe, leaving only political discourse in its place. |
