Ignores science
Orban ❌
Ten bucks this has to do with the anti-trans shit Hungary has been pushing recently, which the economist approves of.
Economist is terf shit? Can I get a link? Trying to delegitimize that limey rag.
Yeah but my dad aint and i’m trying to change his news diet
I'm just freestyling, Idk I don't have sources for shit, good luck with that tho
it's a fuckin newspaper made by the bourgeois for the petit bourgeois. also i all i had to do was type "transgender the economist" and this was the first result https://www.economist.com/leaders/2020/10/15/letting-trans-women-play-in-womens-sports-is-often-unfair
Very cool when the economist is siding with the most poisonous reactionaries in the Texas State Legislature.
Here you go:
Letting trans women play in women’s sports is often unfair
Other countries should learn from a transgender verdict in England
Gender identity is hard but jumping to medical solutions is worse
Putting trans women in female prisons sets up a clash of rights
The Economist Says Tweet About Sterilizing Trans People Was a Mistake
A book on transitioning girls is denounced as transphobic
Transgender identities: a series of invited essays
Trans rights should not come at the cost of women’s fragile gains
Britain’s Gender Recognition Act won’t change
Basically they seem to have two stances
A) that TRANSGERNDER ISSUE inherently pits two (entirely separate) historically oppressed groups, the transgenders and women, against each other, and this is very sad and complicated and there is no clear solution😔
and B) that they deeply care about trans people and want only what's best for you but because [twisted terf logic] what's actually in trans people's best interest is [horrible terf shit] 😌
one of the UK's houses of parliament is called the House of Lords. To them, democracy is a little treat that the rabble can have as long as they behave themselves.
I MAY not be... Mitt ROMney. But I'm... Here! To serve, the interests of the elite
Nailed the cadence, like a low-battery speak-n-spell
Alexander Hamilton and his whole cadre were often pretty explicit about keeping poor people away from power
Washington sent troops to the frontier to stop the Whiskey rebellion
Do they count? Their document nevertheless started with "We the people"

This guy maybe? Renamed a bunch of things with the names of himself and his family members, including the word for bread. Got a gold statue of himself built. Put himself on the money and made his autobiography required reading in schools. He still talked up the need for democracy as far as I know, but didn't seem very good at masking that it was a weird dictatorship.
No More Permits for Mining Companies: AMLO. They haven't committed to nationalization, but it sounds to me like the government is planning full or partial nationalization but is waiting on existing contracts with international mining companies to run out before announcing it.
Wow, that's asking for an invasion. "Our critical lithium supplies are under threat and we will protect them to the point of military conflict."
They did that in the Middle East with oil and it was called the Carter Doctrine.
lol what elected head of state doesnt represent the will of the people(In terms of what the electoral system allows)?
Like who the fuck goes "Yeah no I dont represent jack fucking shit, you all got fucking scammed lmao I fooled you all you fell for my scheme, my prank, my little jape"?
no no you don't get it
claiming to represent the public is a bad thing (according to ruling class Economist ghouls)
"The London Economist is the European organ of the aristocracy of finance."
-:marx:
I mean, shit, I know the economist is evil, but they’re usually evil in a way that at least pretends to respect the intelligence of their audience. This is the most baby-brained shit I’ve seen from a major newspaper.
It's a good sign. It's them being bitter and angry, and lashing out. They only do things like this when they're losing.
Sure, the politics The Economist would like to see is losing, but it seems to be much more to the type of politics represented by the other people on that list. Maybe in Latin America we’re seeing good signs for another sort of pink tide, but overall the situation is pretty grim.
Orbán not ignoring science by checks notes ignoring the virologists who begged for months for a hard lockdown to be issued and letting tens of thousands fucking die

Sir you have six checks on the naughty list and must now resign from office

I haven't really followed amlos administration but good on him calling out the ngos that push this kind of shit
It's true that Orban doesn't ignores science. For instance he didn't just ignored gender studies, he actively banned Hungarian universities from doing it.
banning science is not the same as ignoring science alright sweaty? - the educated gentlemen at the economist
