When a coup d’état is about to happen in a country generally ignored by Western media, I often see more public attention than we are giving to this actual threat to the entire world.
By "attention," I don't mean amplifying the future king of the world's trolling. I mean seriously discussing the implications of what he's saying and doing.

@everton137@social.vivaldi.net "It can't happen here" is the hubris of Western democracies, when it has happened "here", and continues.

@everton137@social.vivaldi.net The American press has to some extent neutered itself, but no, discussions of a planned semi-judicial coup are everywhere. There's a lot of "it cannot happen here" still. It probably won't, but it could.
