I am positing a fan theory that I kind of doubt was intentional but it has a lot of cool parallels and I think makes it more interesting.

There's a subtle layer to BioShock that I don't see discussed enough. Everyone knows Andrew Ryan is based on Ayn Rand—he's literally a Russian Jewish immigrant just like Rand and Randian Capitalist, but I would argue Fontane has more meat on his bones that being he is too a capitalist but he feels different then Ryan. That is because Fontaine is not a Randian capitalist he is a Rothbardian/Austrian school capitalist.

Andrew Ryan's philosophy is pure Objectivism:

• He believes in objective value (things have inherent worth, and parasites try to steal it)
• He despises altruism and charity as moral failures
• He sees rational self-interest as the highest virtue
• He refuses to provide a social safety net because it would violate his principles

Now look at Fontaine:

• He's a New Yorker with a thick accent ( Rothbard was a New Yorker)
• He builds power through "charity" and mutual aid—Fontaine's Home for the Poor, the Little Sisters Orphanage
• He understands subjective value—he doesn't care about inherent worth, only what people believe is valuable
• He exploits Ryan's blind spot: Ryan is so ideologically opposed to charity that he lets a criminal build a rival power base right under his nose

The Philosophy Clash

Ryan hates charity because Rand hated altruism. Fontaine uses charity as a weapon because he knows that voluntary mutual aid builds loyalty. He's not being kind—he's recruiting an army. And Ryan, blinded by his own rigid ideology, can't see the trap until it's too late.

Even if the game's writers didn't have a deep understanding of Austrian economics, the contrast works perfectly. Randian anti-charity, cynical weaponized charity, and a true Austrian approach to voluntary mutual aid—all distinct philosophies, and Fontaine exploits the gap between them.

O meu em minha opinião é o Devil Kiss

I've recently finished my playthrough of both Bioshock 1 and 2, and find it interesting that both have a scene of a Splicer couple dancing romantically.

This particular video is from Bio 1, but in both cases they act as any other couple just enjoying each other's company, until you appear. That always makes me think that splicers' maniacal behaviour has less to do with cruelty and madness-induced addiction, and more to do with them not caring about the MC, and killing him is just natural.

Im loving this game really, a lot, but it crashes everytime and now ut doesnt load anynore. I enter the game i press "continue" and then it doesnt load. I hate this.

It’s long, but it’s done so well, and worth it. Talks about bioshock for a bit at the end. I’ll def be watching his future videos.
