Westerners when their countries do fascist shit: "This like something that foreigners would do!"
Exactly. People drink the KOOL aid of how democratic and tolerant Western states are but they crush dissent, censor, spy and imprison journalists and activists like everyone else.
Westerners also seem to forget that the UK, France, and US are mostly to blame for all the instability and war in the middle east, forgetting (intentionally or not) the colonial and imperialist past of their governments when they were committing war crimes and dismissing the will and needs of entire populations for decades before the idea of non-europeans also having rights became popular.
The UK government have been three facists in a trench coat for decades.
