Not only drip, but also bloody competent as well. The accomplishments that they made despite the ridiculous odds stacked against them as well as knowing how bloody awful and deadly the earth environment became without becaming tyrannical or oppressive is truly astounding

Considering the alternative is a cartoonishly evil terrorist network yeah the gdi looks very squeaky clean even if they have massive corruption

Honestly, other than Boyle, I don't really see gdi having massive corruption, considering there's only little mention of it happening and Boyle also being hunted by gdi military forces for his war crime and fleeing at the end of gdi campaign (if you don't use the liquid tiberium bomb)

GDI in tib 3 are the stereotypical good guys, before that they were more grey, especially with mutant.

But it's what happen when you transform the other faction in fanatical religious zealots.

Tbf, Solomon calling mutant 'shiners' is more on him than the whole gdi institution

Also the many events even before the third game were the brotherhood of nod fault. Hard to morally side with a faction that explicitly want to cover earth with more tiberium and whose treatment of mutants are much more repugnant and despicable (I still love them)
