    The King of Jordan

    fascism

    I’m not sure that this is surprising coming from Jordan, but he’s a monarchist not a fascist.

      And it surprises me that he passed this law. As far as I remember he was trying to reform the country into a more democratic one

        Nothing screams democracy like silencing free speech.

          Ok, so the article says that he’s silencing islamists that started popping up as soon as he liberalised the country

            Doesn’t sound very democratic to me. The dude is a thug pretending to be a good guy by spreading lies.

      Its always a bit funny to see people conflate the two, by simply applying the “bad = bad” rubric.

      Fascists, for all their faults, do tend to have a certain degree of popular appeal. Meanwhile, modern day robber barons mostly just have a bunch of armed minions ready to terrorize anyone that crosses them in the midst of their local looting and pillaging.
