The background codex for Earth literally states that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. I believe they also imply that African countries still haven’t advanced much because they are still being exploited.
Currently near the end of Atomic Heart. So far I’ve been really enjoying the game. I haven’t seen anything explicitly anti-Communist yet like I was expecting so that’s good. There are so many Soviet 50s - 80s references that my parents would probably love this game if they actually played videogames.
I’ll probably play Mass Effect next since I haven’t done a playthrough of that trilogy in like a decade. I kind of hate the Human background lore of Mass Effect since it’s basically neoliberalism 150 years into the future, but seeing how bland sci fi games are nowadays like Star Citizen or Starfield really made me miss Mass Effect.
Left of Bernie is far too generous. I’ve seen Trumpsters and even other liberals called tankies by internet libs for not supporting nuking Russia. More like left of Reagan, Thatcher, and Himmler.
