      “Ask all the people in the country who would never say that out loud about their country as they’re under duress as saying that about their country will get them killed in their country”

      Yeah, good plan

        I always talk shit about my country (Indonesia), but Indonesia really is not a fascist state anymore. Seriously. Your information might be out of date as of 2023. Just tell me why you think Indonesia is a fascist state and I’ll see if it’s still applicable now.

          Hey, I don’t have any information about Indonesia specifically; all I’m saying is that if you ask someone if the country they live in is fascist, you’ll get one of three “no”s:

          1. They’ll say no, because it isn’t.
          2. They’ll say no, because it is but they like it, and they know what a bad connotation the word has.
          3. They’ll say no, because it is and they don’t like it, but they know what a ban connotation the word has and they don’t want to be locked up for it.
