Disco Elysium isn't just a game that stands in opposition to the "keep politics out of my vidya games" attitude. It's a game set in a world in which everyone is always in some way inextricably tied up in politics, ideology, and history in every moment of their lives. As are we.

Well put. When you can sense this in something like Disco Elysium (I thought of Iconoclasts and Planescape: Torment when I read your description), that is an impressive thing. Many games fail to use politics in a thoughtful way. Or at least, I find myself wanting more.

Yeah, Iconoclasts is a great example of a game in which politics are much more than just thematic flavoring.
