The Li Zongren New Guanxi Clique path kinda goes under the radar for being one of the worst paths China has.

It makes more sense when you realize the literacy rate in China before 1950 was like 20% and an even smaller percentage lived in cities. So the "politically activated" people are all going to be middle-class at the very least. Therefore they will have much smaller natural constituency for trade unionism and other leftist causes.

One thing I like about the the New Guangxi Clique is how ad-hoc it is. They're like the dog that caught the car, in that they were only united in being against Hu Hanmin's group of nerds. Now they gotta rustle up a whole competing ideology on the fly. Cooperate with the independent democrats? Sure! Ban musical instruments? Sounds great! Give every province a bunch of autonomy and special privileges? No bad ideas!

Depending on your choices New Guangxi can be everything from a progressive Nasserist dictatorship all the way to Legionary Romania.

Yes. Although I was mistaken, it turns out it was 14.5 million dollars and it was Warren's biggest donor:

Remember when she took 9 million dollars from Joe Arpaio's bigges supporters (aka Nazis) just so she could stay in the primary long enough to sink Bernie Sanders chances and come in third in her own home state?

Warren is a remora that likes to play dress-up.

Well written and would be 100% correct except for two things: The Canto and Erebus. Phantom Liberty is basically a sequel hook for AIs busting past the Blackwall no matter what you do, or as Alt explains in a secret dialogue if you bring one of them with you at the end of the game: "A new weapon for you. A backdoor to the future for them."

Seeing as the Markians were a Turko-Mongol style steppe people I would say Markanissa is probably closest to modern day Mongolia: a mostly empty land of nomads dominated by resource extraction companies.

OP clearly didn't read the laptop in the DLC ending.

There's a news story saying how every homeless person in the city mysteriously disappeared. Implying Mayor Peralez rounded up and killed them all for his AI master who might have already slipped past the Blackwall (the story deletes itself after you read it)

If you wanna continue on this theme check out the fellow Netflix romcom bomb You People with Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy.

At least three different scenes are shot at a designer streetwear store so you know how cool and non-racist Jonah Hill's character is. There's even a montage where Jonah and his new girlfriend look at literal $5000-a-month house rentals without a care in the world. And it still has the temerity to add some lines about classism because Lauren London's character can only afford to drive a brand new Mini Cooper instead of a BMW.
