    Can we get a digital badge that the citizens of any advanced liberal democracy that Magastan panels as “bad” can proudly display on their socials?

      Don’t sully the “-stan” countries like that, they don’t deserve that association.

          Yeah, it does. But I think the intent of “Magastan” is to draw a comparison to “those countries”. But this is stooping down to Trump’s level imo

            Hmm yeah it could certainly be interpreted that way. I get your point. I’ve said Canukistan before, but not to denigrate others, however it could certainly be interpreted in a negative manner.
