    All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.

      It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.

              The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents’ voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.

                Because remember you need a Nazi and a tankie to agree with facts in order for it to be the real truth.

                Sometimes reality doesn’t align with political views. Doesn’t mean it’s not facts

          I think you might be confused. They were talking about a country other than the US. 😂

      because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.

      Unless the subject is Amazon deforestation, in which case we have to stop these inhuman savages from destroying this global patrimony (mine). Please don’t ask who’s buying the cattle and soy being grown there or running the mining companies or where I got all this fertile land.

        Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny is trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.
