Who'd have thought that an Xbox game with a racism chart would kickstart my political awakening when I was a young teen lol

Morrowind was my first ES game, and I've always picked Dark Elf/Dunmer because of it now.

Yeah it's a thing in some Morrowind communities where Morrowind was someone's political awakening lol

How do you get leftism from Morrowind?
There's the whole theme about a country's national myths proving to be lies for the benefit of the elite but that's all I can think of.
Maybe Dagoth's plan is leftist if you ignore the whole turning everyone into zombies thing

It has everyone be a right-winger of some variety and points out what makes them garbage.

Minus the quest line where you save slaves and whatnot. I suppose that one is leftist + doesn't make everyone out to be trash.

More or less this

Morrowind itself is very culturally conservative. Every faction is some level of nativist or riddled with some infighting between reformers and traditionalists. That's if they're not exploding with corruption (*cough*Hlaalu*cough*)

The Empire is more or less the same, but slants more towards neolib (hey we're "cosmopolitan" but don't change the status quo, just print some $$$ and mine those rocks)

The fact that it doesn't reference the Argonian video and make Shahvee S tier means that the video is F tier.
