His progression throughout the game is fascinating to watch as he moves from inconveniencing citizens, making them ill, killing indirectly, and finally killing directly all in the pursuit of making money in the stock market.

Commenters quickly saw parallels in the behavior of politicians. Too bad lefties will only look right in this case and not at their own cities failings.

Yes and no! It's a case of power corrupting people, establishment left and right both.

Left is by definition a philosophy of power and corruption. Right is traditional and reactionary. Neither is more or less concerned with the pursuit of making money. Politicians in charge are LARPers on both sides.

commenters are stupid. there are no parallels to real life, because real life stocks can't be easily/obviously manipulated like in the game, and there are no stocks that just track public services like in the game.

his videos are fine as video game exploit stuff but they aren't deep political commentary.

libtards ruin the economy because they honestly and truly believe crazy and stupid shit indoctrinated and manipulated into them from youth. the root cause of libtardation is communist agitators such as the ones you find commonly in schools.

I mean, sort of?

inconveniencing citizens, making them ill, killing indirectly, and finally killing directly all in the pursuit of making money in the stock market.

All those are possible, and happen. Look at what happened these last years, the money passing back and forth government and corporations, the censorship and lies, the effective outlawing of effective treatments, and the pushing of faulty treatments and practices. All that made the people at the top even more insanely wealthy. It's just slightly more roundabout than the simplified version in a video game.

I mean, Canada is killing citizens directly at this point, for at least in part financial gain.

EDIT: And if you want a bit more nebulous example, look at things like grain and oil subsidies (or paying farms not to produce other things), FDA food pyramids, over-prescription of drugs, and so much more; the government has been in/semi-directly killing its citizens for damn decades. They certainly profit off an unhealthy populace, and money passes back and forth between politicians and corporations nonstop, often to actively hurt the people.

My dude, every single dollar you own isn't yours, it belongs to some Rothchild child molester.

They can make the numbers whatever the fuck they want and there's fuck all you can do about it. The only reason they don't is because it'd be less convenient that way, they're already getting everything they want and more.
