Bethesda has always fumbled the ball on the leftist slant, Capitalism exists where it likely shouldn't yet and in general mocks the Cold War propaganda yet plays most Communist characters as though the propaganda is true, actually.
The series was always generally leftist, but it never really crossed the threshold into being a full Disco Elysium or anything. However, in the hands of Bethesda, it's just a playground.
I swear, no one can properly mock fascists in any way that insults them.
The closest I can think of are orcs from Tolkein, and even then if I worry that if we starting calling white people and fascists "orcs", they'd take it as a compliment too or I'll just sound too much like a NAFO lib.
So basically Elon Musk
Fascists have been comparing the races they don't like to orcs for a while now.
Oh yeah, that’s another big one. There’s just way too much baggage to use orc/goblin/troll/etc to refer to chuds.
In order to properly mock a fascist you have to use the Mel Brooks technique. Make them silly.
