    The conspiracy theory aspect of Deus Ex really ruins any kind of left-wing interpretation if you don't or can't look at that as it being a video game where there can be a bad guy responsible for everything that you can shoot in the face. The good guys being what amounts to a secessionist second amendment-focused right-wing militia also I don't think helps

      Yeah, it was definitely r slash I'm 14 and this is deep material when I was 14 and first being exposed to ideas like the illuminati, etc.

      Replayed it last week and it did not hold up to memory. Of course there are powerful monied factions who want to control the world, but it's not a hidden conspiracy or the fault of (((the others))) - they just do the shit right out in the open, no need to hide behind shadowy organizations.
