Ah edelman, the consultancy bureau who helps countries prop up their image. This shit is about as believable as Qatar getting to host the world cup on merit. Imagine seeing this graph and thinking hmmm all these countries who have authoritarian and oppressive governments must be really good to their citizens, instead of thinking that people who speak out of line get shafted lmao.
It's bought propaganda. It's like being the shitty student in class who pays a hacker to adjust their grades but instead of something a bit believable asks for an A+. Anyways this shit isn't even meant for the outside world, it's just to affirm to their own people that being oppressed is a-OK.
and free labor on the part of @yogthos@lemmy.ml to promote it.
Which is rich considering he's a well paid software engineer working out of a western Democracy.
Tankies. The world would be so bland without them.
Bro you post hundreds of times a day on here, and it's not even a remotely thought out thesis on society. You're just an imperialist and it's important to call you out on it.
You used so many words to tell us you have no clue what imperialism is bro. Please do keep on adding hilarity to the thread though. It's like having a personal court jester.
I'm so glad I could be of service to you then. I'll consider my contribution valuable and hopefully I can make you laugh here and there.
This is quite a strange thing to say. Should we close our eyes, ears, and minds to ideas that we don't like or that don't confirm our worldview? That doesn't sound very healthy or likely to lead to any sort of truth.
