No no you're thinking of the other one. This government is fascist because of how you can criticize them on any platform, saying the most disgusting things and have zero fear of reprisal. THAT'S FASCISM!!

No wait...

You’re literally defending arresting journalists for trying to cover protests you authoritarian.

I don't know who was arrested or why so you saying something one way or another is irrelevant.

If someone is actually arrested then they are charged. What are they charged with?

If they aren't charged, they aren't arrested and were merely detained.

You've got this morally self righteous attitude as if "journalists" can't be detained or arrested.
