- p_j_w 8mo agoWhen their agents execute people in the street with no repercussions.
- autoexec 8mo agoIn that case I can't think of time my country hasn't been a regime I guess. Police have pretty much always been executing people in the streets without repercussions. Although there has been a small amount of progress recently, these days they do it on camera and still face zero repercussions much of the time.
- kgwxd 8mo agoYup, and the people calling it out all this time were consistently shrugged off as being hyperbolic. Still are. Always will be.
- tempodox 8mo agoAre you suggesting that an accurate description would not be derogatory?
- kgwxd 8mo agoLong, long time ago. Accuracy don't matter to enough people though.
- wiml 8mo ago"Regime" is mostly derogatory among the terminally online. It's an accurate description of any government, regulatory system, zone of applicability of a natural law, etc etc.
