Nonetheless, the phenomenon is undoubtedly global. Wherever you go, it is hard to escape social-justice warriors. World police, indeed.

I remember when the Economist would rail against this sort of reactionary conservatism, opting instead for neoliberalism. I guess when their main protagonist, capitalism, is looking so fucking shitty, this is the sorta thing they need to publish.
It's kind of a recent change. Even during the Bush era, they would mock the antics of reactionaries (although still recommending people vote for Republicans). I think they're just getting more in touch with the gestalt of the divorced dads and reactionary older "liberals" who make up their subscriber base.
Fundamentally, it's a rag started by the bourgeoisie in protest over tarrifs on grain. I don't think it ever was against reactionary beliefs, I think when they publish anything even slightly critical of the right it's for "balance" in the way American news does it. It's really funny because you see people comment on the articles saying "wow the ecommunist is woke"
If you watch the Jon Stewart interview of one of the lead editors of the paper, it's abundantly clear who the paper has always supported and their propaganda intentions.
It will always be this kind of low hanging fruit, so it's it's easy to get a laugh out of it.
