My understanding (without having played the game) is that you choose an ideology for your character (equivalent to fascist, communist, capitalist or centrist) and whichever of those you chose, it satirizes you for it by making you an absurd parody of whichever was your chosen ideology. So perhaps the only way to not "feel mocked" personally is to play through using an ideology you don't actually hold? Or, try not take it personally. But, I admit, your reaction makes me want to actually play it next to test my ideological sensitivity.

via your choices you "become" aligned with one of those options parent commentor isn't entirely off-base because much of the narrative in the game is about the state of the fictional society after a failed communist revolution so much of the "vibe" of the game is grounded in a populace whose dream failed. the game is more sympathetic or at least more interested in leftism. i chose to play as a fascist art critic who believes he's a famous disco star. disco elysium is definitely not advocating for collectivism or any other ideology, though. great game, one of the best i've ever played.
