This is the guy championed by American liberals as a democratic alternative to Netanyahu.

Step back for a moment, and the suggested policy change is remarkable. One of the most distinguished living economists is rejecting what’s been one of the most fundamental principles of economics for more than 200 years: comparative advantage. If a country can manufacture goods at lower costs than you can, you shouldn’t raise tariff barriers. Instead, you should import the goods, and send back something in return where your industry is more efficient.

This is nonsense. China (or the US) didn't get where they are with free trade.

It could just be a random score generator based on cellphone data (article mentioned that). Israel has access to cell data and names of everyone living in Gaza.

They've used it in the past to threaten journalists and give "warnings".

Meanwhile, several workers, including a Meta worker, said that software engineers were "underpaid." The TuSimple worker wrote: "the engineers that created that truck he drives are more important because the impact to society is higher, including providing a tool for work."

Software 'engineers' talking like they engineered trucks.

"Favorable taxation" ie zero income tax for settlers. Only the poor Palestinians have to pay the regressive sales tax.

 

The late anti-Kremlin activist and liberal politician Alexey Navalny had also berated Central Asian migrants and called for a visa regime.

Glad they're mentioning it. Navalny was an anti-immigrant POS. Shameful how western liberals were supporting him.

It is an inherantly revisionist game, your goal is to prevent Hitler from getting into power. I don't think it's necessarily bad just that it would've been better had they made their own universe with different country, characters etc.

I don't think it's inherantly promoting electoral politics either. Whether a party wins/loses depends on whether their policies improve material conditions of the working class while repressing fascists. Votes are just a proxy.

In real life there were no puppet masters making SPD do good things.

My main problem with the game is that it portrays KPD in an "unwilling to work with anyone with slight differences" kind of way even though I dont think KPD would have refused to collaborate with SPD had they been more pro-worker, pro-class struggle.
