    BRICS+

    For when you don’t want to say “coalition of authoritarian dictatorships”…

    BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising ten countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS

    Brazil is the odd man out, but they’re actively fighting against expanding BRICS and honestly I think the only reason they haven’t left is it’s essentially free for them.

        Brazil is the odd man out,

        I thought the context made it clear that the rest are authoritarian dictatorships…

        Let’s start with the three big ones though:

        Russia, India, China

        Pick any of the three and say it’s not an authoritarian dictatorship in 2025.

        That will help steer rational people away from your community and instance in general.

            To clarify, you are saying that Modi’s India isn’t an authoritarian dictatorship in your eyes?

              Modi has been elected as the PM…

              It’s not Modi’s India… You have no idea of the opposition over here…
