Don't forget how she ends up having to be saved by the very police she fucked over out spite, caused largely because she thought intentionally messing with a murder investigation was a good idea.
The mob boss socialist guy reminds me of a character from the Dorothy Thompson essay
Who Goes Nazi? '
>Mr. L has just come in. Mr. L is a lion these days. My hostess was all of a dither when she told me on the telephone, “ . . . and L is coming. You know it’s dreadfully hard to get him.”
>L is a very powerful labor leader. “My dear, he is a man of the people, but really fascinating.“ L is a man of the people and just exactly as fascinating as my horsy, bank vice-president, on-the-make acquaintance over there, and for the same reasons and in the same way.
>L makes speeches about the “third of the nation,” and L has made a darned good thing for himself out of championing the oppressed. He has the best car of anyone in this room; salary means nothing to him because he lives on an expense account.
>He agrees with the very largest and most powerful industrialists in the country that it is the business of the strong to boss the weak, and he has made collective bargaining into a legal compulsion to appoint him or his henchmen as “labor’s” agents, with the power to tax pay envelopes and do what they please with the money. L is the strongest natural-born Nazi in this room.
>Mr. B regards him with contempt tempered by hatred. Mr. B will use him. L is already parroting B’s speeches. He has the brains of Neanderthal man, but he has an infallible instinct for power.
>In private conversation he denounces the Jews as “parasites.” No one has ever asked him what are the creative functions of a highly paid agent, who takes a percentage off the labor of millions of men, and distributes it where and as it may add to his own political power.
Does that not dead on sound like Evrart?

The main character's partner left him and later hooked up with some foreign guy in another continent, this psychologically damaged the MC so much he fell into a substance-fuelled depressive spiral, eventually going on a massive bender to erase his own memory.
He isn't necessarily a cuck, she never cheated on him. She left
six years ago and he never got over it. The game never explains fully why she left, but hints it was because he became a violent alcoholic rather than leaving him for Chad.
The MC also might be repressed gay, the game doesn't explore it much but he finds another man immensely attractive and starts wondering about it

DE loves doing this "Oh but communism killed so many people! (
And thanks a good thing, teehee~ ;^) )" shit, that makes some less aware individuals mistakenly believe it's also critiquing le hungry hammer. It doesn't seriously criticize communism.
On that note, it doesn't seriously criticize fascism either. As you said it boils fascism down into a cartoonish incel ideology
honestly not inaccurate , it refuses to engage with it or its ideals.
Libertarianism (confusingly called ultraliberalism) is treated even more like a cartoon, being by far the funniest and most based ideology in the whole game. You act like a living ancap picardia meme, the shit your character comes out with is wild.
>Do you “grind” and “hustle?” Sure you do. You're a money engineer. A money scientist. You move money on a level inconceivable to the ordinary citizen.
The game arguably undercuts its point by how hysterical a hypercapitalist playthrough is.
Where DE really goes shithouse is "moralism", i.e. neoliberalism. The game feels like it hates centrists and moderate leftists more than it hates full blown blud bröther ethnonationalists, which is how you really know it was made by communists.
