It seems to correlate with white Christian domination, especially if it’s Anglo or Nordic. #deepstate and friends being in charge is also good. Others need not apply. Typical ‘The Economist’ bias.
The USA is hardly a democracy, with just two parties in play. Laughable how they strut around selling freedom and democracy to Middle East- sorry oil rich - countries.
the whole idea of 'democracy' and 'liberal world order' that they sell simply means a) #deepstate gets to run various countries using their 'embedded assets', and b) you play by rules that benefit evangelists and the Anglosphere. Not that I think a Chinese alternative is better (it's worse by far) but let's not be fooled that 'democracy' and 'liberal global order' are anything other than measures to keep Americans, Nordics and esp. those impoverished Brits, right on top of a hierarchy. This is not working very well any more. People are seeing through the Emperor's New Clothes.
