governmentregime.Is “regime” really a word that triggers people’s negativity?
It’s funny. You google the definition and some AI summary gives me “associated with authoritarian” shit.
But, I guess I’m old. Because Webster’s just has this:
- form of government
- government in power
- period of rule
- mode of rule or management
It’s amazing how media can shape vocabulary and how people “feel” about specific words. And now we get AI summaries that just reinforce that same narrative. Literally redefining words to be associated negatively to better serve to build media narratives.
I’d literally call any state a “regime”. It literally just means “a form of government”. But i guess it doesn’t anymore…
There have always been different nuances that are carried by words with the same general meaning. An authoritarian government is still a government.
Iran doesn’t allow foreign media into the country, so there is no independent verification.
This isn’t specific to Iran, this is how consent is manufactured
And surely you are not implying that Western media, who are the ones using these tactics, is independent?
So it’s like North Korea, then?
