        “Regime” is a derogatory method of describing a group. Wouldn’t expect less from you.

          “Regime” is a derogatory method of describing a group

          Not really, I’ve heard it be used in a neutral context to describe not just groups, but ways of doing things.

          But at least in this case, it is being used in a derogatory way to describe a country which has brought untold amounts of suffering to so many people on the planet, and continues to be a capitalist hellhole. Like, I have never met an English man who doesn’t hate the UK government, and all of them would be on board with calling it a “regime” (derogatory).

          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.
