I feel like Yglesias isnt even that much of a liberal darling anymore. He’s way more ghoulish and off putting than he used to be and is just saying more wildly stupid and smug stuff for anybody that isn’t a ladder climbing ghoul or soft fascist.

Just based on vibes alone, it seems like this retaliation has down very little to change the needle at all on people’s opinions. If anything it seems to have largely scared off the remaining liberal hawks.
Awesome considering Sohrab was invited to Hungary to whitewash and softsell Orban to westerners. Like bro cmon you were eating with the literal successors to the Holocaust.
I really hate that this game became a boring topic about this. Like from the second i saw it announced it was so clear that this game was obviously inspired by more modern SE titles mixed weirdly well with more western sensibilities which i think worked out strangely well. Its just a boring video game discussion where the best option is to just ignore it and talk around it.
