What's up with calling all (or at least quite many) cabinet members "tsar"? Or was it always customary in the past also, and I was only living under a rock? Or is it just insinuating at Russian influence?
- swifthesitation 2y agoThanks for the archive link. And to your question, It was _never_ customary. It's weird, it's not okay, it's brainwashing, plain and simple. I'm a US citizen, our history is rooted in defeating monarchies and kings. I feel as though this is a rewiring of people's brain by mass media. There are _no_ tsar/czar/tzar/csar in a democracy, period. Full stop.
