It's crazy that a journalistic expression became a real organization thing, and now journalists treat it as if it meant something.
Joining BRICS is akin to joining the "third world": joining it means nothing and even the original meaning it was supposed to represent has long been lost and forgotten.
- vidarh 2y agoUnlike "the third world", BRICS has a formal organisation, a headquarter, regular summits, a development bank (unimaginateively named "New Development Bank"), a liquidity support framework, and others. It's not a very close association, but it's also far more than just a label.
- riffraff 2y agotrue, thanks for the correction.
