"Authoritarianism is deeply embedded in America today
"Trump's base is compromised of personality types that include social dominators, authoritarian followers, as well as "double highs" who combine the worst traits of the two.

Unfortunately Pathum Kerner doesn't seem to understand what "constructive criticism"is. He says don't be a "critic" & give "feedback". I wonder what he means by feedback. If he says "Covid is over" & we cite @WHO & virologists to say Covid is not over, is that being a critic? 2/
In a democracy "dissent" is an integral part & Pathum doesn't seem to understand the fundamentals of a democracy. That's why Pathum & his team delete comments on Facebook, block those who disagree & even delete past comments of the dissenting person. 3/

I was working from #Senegal in 2012 & saw how far then-President Wade had gone astray from initial high hopes.
Like bringing in North Koreans to erect a pricey monument, then demanding a 35% cut of ticket prices because he felt the idea was his intellectual property.

You'd think he would remember the forces his predecessor unleashed.

Erdogan jailed his rival Demirtaş through bogus charges and pressuring the heavily subdued, in no way autonomous judiciary in 2018. Demirtaş had to run for president from a jail cell. #democracy #FreeElections
Turkey’s third largest party HDP is under the threat of an obviously politically motivated closure case, again by a subdued Supreme Court under Erdogan’s pressure. Turkey’s 3rd largest party couldn’t run under its own banner and had to campaign under Greens and the Left Party.

The legislature chooses the prime minister by majority vote, and the president appoints members of the supreme court after they have been nominated by the Supreme Council of Justice.

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @bectu press accreditation visible around my neck.
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
After police stopped me filming, they ripped my press pass off and handcuffed me behind my back.
Even before this protester held this banner up, myself and 4 protesters were surrounded by police and stop and searched to look for "articles to commit criminal damage". They didn't find anything.

1/ Censorship is a tactic historically associated with fascist regimes and ideologies. Fascists often seek to suppress dissent and opposition, and may use a variety of tactics to censor or limit the free expression of ideas that conflict with their own. #fascism #censorship
2/ This can take many forms, including censorship of the media, control of public discourse, and suppression of opposition political parties and social movements. In fascist regimes, the state often maintains strict control over information and communication channels.
3/ For example, Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler implemented strict censorship laws and policies, controlling what could be said, written, or published in the media. The regime used propaganda and censorship to promote its ideology and worldview, and to silence dissent.
