This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just because neoliberals tolerate gay people doesn't mean that gay rights are inherently neoliberal. Democracy, maybe, but we don't know if they were doing elections with unlimited campaign spending by property owners or if they were voting in workers' councils. Classical Athens, the United States, the PRC, the DPRK, and the Republic of Ireland all have/had democracies in some sense, but they vary massively in implementation, and anyone who calls all of those neoliberal is either very confused or not being sincere.
Furthermore, trying to change the world is central to nearly any RPG. A crusade to obtain human rights doesn't prohibit whimsy or enjoyment, but when you do the fantasy equivalent of traveling to modern Gaza to organize a festival, you shouldn't be terribly surprised when you get a bad ending regardless of whether you accomplish your goal.
Also, there's no indication that the player characters were outsiders in the first place. You're characterizing them as invaders, but this could have been an internal proletarian uprising.
You missed the Six Nations, and to try to call them neoliberal would be absolutely WILD.
