โฒ 21 โผ Were did the title 'czar' come from in current media? (lemmy.dbzer0.com) submitted 2 months ago by MidnightMarauder@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 8 comments fedilink hide all child comments Ai czar, border czar, health czar... I see it mentioned all the time in the US media but also elsewhere recently, where does this come from? Czar is historicly the title of Russian rulers. Which these people clearly aren't, so why the use of this term? Is it some sort of right wing dogwistle?
