Humans in the setting are annoying and uppity, so I sided with the council, I mean if you consider their perspective the humans come across like Qanon fanatics screaming about evil space demons and literal visions of doom, if I was the council I would've revoked their embassy and sanctioned earth for the good of the galaxy

Of course like the rest of the game it isn't much of a choice; do you want to save the alien space neolibs or install human space neolibs who are more openly racist?

Which choice is best for advancing the cause of the galactic working class?

Isn't it if you let them die, a bunch of racist humans replace them? I'd say in the framework of the space lib cop game, saving them is better.

The actual best choice is to let space cop Shepard die on Eden Prime

I hated how the game just kinda assumes you're racist if you let them die. From what I remember, people call you out for doing it, and you don't even get dialogue options to defend yourself.

The neoliberal space hegemony continues unimpeded either way and there is minima bearing on the story. Pick which option you think is funniest

I played through again recently and there is a side quest where you have to board a ship that has been seized with some CEO on board who refused to pay compensation for faulty implants I think. May be getting several quests confused. Anyway, of course the only ethical course of action permitted in this game is to kill the workers. I think I at least was able to let them kill him first.
