    The “Free World” is a propaganda term,[1][2] primarily used during the Second World War[3] and Cold War, to refer to the Allies, Western Bloc and aligned countries. - Wikipedia

    For those not familiar with the phrasing. Always feels like being teleported back to the mid 1900s.

    I will say it’s a solid propoganda term for regions in which many people feel like wage slaves and the antiestablishment fervor is at such a fever pitch that authoritarians are being voted in.

    The same region thats financed a genocide in Gaza and has a power center that has an immigration and customs enforcement akin to the gestapo is the free world. Hmm. Might be time to retire this descriptor guys.
