The real funny is why you do not understand why that is the case.

Subconscious self sensorship, inability of critical thinking, due to the blind conviction of the deceiving notion of "free press".

Try criticising Israel or Zionism in the 'free' American media.

 

[Aramagedon]

USA is the most concerned country on the planet thanks to 0.5% rich zionists ruling them.

Where is thailand.. they still have les majesty law there for crying out loud.

Every culture has their own sensitivities.

In Thai culture, the king is considered a fatherly figure and that position has to be respected.

Let's be practical when you are comparing Thailand to these 10 countries.

It is nowhere close to what, for example, Turkmenistan is.

You don't need the western bra-burning freedom model everywhere.

But its absence doesn't automatically translate to 'North Korea'.
