@StillIRise1963 But it’s not your grandfather’s fascism for the most part. The illusion of democracy is so much better maintained by the strongman leaders these days.
In the old days, the junta would execute you, now you get planted a fake criminal case to land you in prison.
Before, the leader would tell the media what to write, now he takes away the funding if you publish the wrong things.
Instead of shutting down universities, he switches the staff and drowns them in regulation.
