    Im honestly about to cancel my subscription. The economist is a joke for us politics.

    Compare it to any other country they cover with a similar situation and it’s night and day.

    Lol the term “tankie” has truly lost all meaning at this point

    It seems like everyone on the left gets called “tankie” now, except for the people who drove the literal tanks through Hungary in 1956

      My favourite is when you specifically express anti-authoritarian views and get called a tankie for it

            Well, you’re not doing it “the right way” or for “the right people” so you’re a tankie /s
