i say swears online posted:it's to ensure the magazine speaks ideologically as one voice instead of developing personalities. the economist is an ideological project and has been since the beginning it's to ensure that the publication has an air of authority to it as the reader can imagine some tweed-clad oxford professor writing the articles instead of some pasty failchild who's doing their gentleman's third at lse

i say swears online posted:lmao at byline inflation yeah there are so many terms in here i thought were just made as jokes. they actually write radical center (centre, technically). also respect for quote:The first few issues of The Economist were, in fact, written almost entirely by James Wilson, the founding editor, though he wrote in the first-person plural. no actual beef with that kind of shenanigans. i just didn't realize that was the case for the economist. not like it matters too much anyway. any current well respected western media that does have bylines is in the same state

also im pretty sure the worst economist articles can't really touch the middling academic economist papers in terms of ideological bullshit and dead-eyed evil. you can probably find a few on sex work but with some poorly understood econometric 'analysis' tacked on

well, paywall bypasses for the economist still work and boy that article was a little more candid than i expectedhttps://web.archive.org/web/2023051...omantic-capital posted:There is a lively market for commercial love, too. Two brothels have opened since the fighting began last year. One, tucked away in the city’s industrial district, operates under the close watch of the army. On May 14th four soldiers waited in a queue outside the building. The madam was initially reluctant to admit them all—one was obviously drunk—but eventually did. This reporter was invited to sign up for a 4,000-hryvnia slot on the next day. Business is obviously thriving. “Now is not the time to tackle morality,” says a military official. “The only thing we are concerned about is that the soldiers don’t say things they shouldn’t, and the girls don’t pass on things to the enemy.”

I really love the use of "sex workers" here. The NYT recently published an article about women being forced into prostitution by the government for American GIs in Korea, and they also kept on referring to these women as sex workers. Like any of these women had consent in what they were doing.

Like any of these women had consent in what they were doing. Christ. My heart sank at the possibility that in 30 years we'll find out these sex workers are Roma and Russian women who were suspected of being Saboteurs or something. Hopefully not, I mean, Ukraine was already exporting young women to the EU to act as sex workers, but.. none of this is good.
