OH MY FUCKING GOD I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SHITPOST THIS IS A REAL ARTICLE

The Economist is truly awful. Just deep throating capitalism in every article.

It's kinda funny watching neoliberal zealots try to rationalise how their economic system eating itself is actually a good thing.

Well, kinda funny in a you'd-cry-if-you-didn't-laugh way, since we're all in it

My favorite was watching Chris Matthew's lose his shit when Bernie won California. Literally cried on air and for some reason was also antisemetic?? Anywho would love to see more of the former from them.

All we can hope is that China will be a better superpower than the US was 🤷‍♂️ the collapse of the west seems inevitable.

What makes you think china won’t collapse along with them? Our economies are tied at the hip and they are sitting on a massive debt bomb with their real estate woes.

Tbf I wouldn't really expect much from a newspaper going by "the economist"

Is it? I found this page and nothing indicates it’s satirical at first glance (and no way I’m registering to read that).

"Thoughts on management and the world of work, in the spirit of the “scrivener” of Herman Melville’s 1853 novel" from https://www.economist.com/bartleby

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Even there, though, nothing explicitly states it’s satire. I found the column’s introduction and even there it doesn’t seem ironic at all.
