Please. Delete this. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it

my playthrough of disco elysium involved my dubois committing a ton of time to useless shit specifically because ACAB, even if me and this delightful man are those cops. so some simple sabotage is in order. we're just gonna waste a bunch of time doing nothing

Sooooort of. Look at what the revachol citizens militia actually is

But also yes, look at the shit he lets you get away with while being the only obe empowered to stop you.

Both Kim and the protagonist.

I’m on record saying that DE is one of the best reflections on the nature of investigative police work in any medium, but just look at it. Is anyone’s life actually better by the end?

I'd say that's a unique case. The Revachol Citizens' Militia sold out to the Moralintern in exchange for legitimacy and vested authority, but by the end of the game they're about to betray the Moralintern and side with a workers' uprising. Afterwards they'll probably still be a police force, but they'll get their legitimacy from an independent Revachol rather than an occupying force, which is at least better.
