Love Richards coverage. I'm glad he's not rattled.

This is unrelated, but this is the first time I've seen a moving thumbnail in Lemmy and it's pretty cool.

"Regime" is a derogatory method of describing a group. Wouldn't expect less from you.

A political regime refers to the system of governance or the established code of conduct, including societal norms and expectations, which dictate the operations and interactions between a governing body and its constituents.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I guess you aren't a native English speaker to understand the way it is used in the real world. If that's true, then my comment is unwarranted. But we both know that isn't true.

You should let wikipedia know ASAP, sounds like their English isn't so good https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regime

While the word régime originates as a synonym for any type of government, modern usage has given it a negative connotation, implying an authoritarian government or dictatorship.

Another attempt at bad faith misinformation. That's like your calling card. Carry on.
