This trick no longer seems to work on The Economist. Any alternative?

Chomsky is an idiot.

The US does not have an empire - in fact, it decolonized most of the globe after WW2.

It does have some Pacific islands. But calling that an empire is absurd.

Some countries, like the Philippines, peridodically consider joining the US voluntarily.

If the US is a cruel superpower, it's the least cruel in history. I can live with that.

Disabling JavaScript works for me. There's likely an extension for your web browser to do this easily.

Just finished reading 'Blind Man's Bluff' - about the American submarine espionage stories since WW2.

There are fascinating stories but it was also striking how so many of the stories were about how the US, the technically and economically superior country, spied on and harassed the Soviets near the Soviet territories.

In Firefox, open in reader mode. You'll get a truncated article the first time, but if you F5 while in reader mode you'll get the entire article.

If you really want to skip the paywall (I don't take any official position), you can use the Bypass Paywalls extension¹.
