Basically what you said is true. But we can never be very
sure it is always that way, the ones in power can choose to
misinterpret, get petty over something and threaten to
sue.
There is absolutely nothing wrong when people doubt the
credibility of any politicians, this is obviously not a
crime. Thus there is no need for the evil old
bloody dictator to threaten to sue people who doubt his
credibility. This proves he is extremely petty,
narrow minded, self centred, tyrannical. This type of
leader I don't give a damn and don't deserve my respect though I
give credit to his past contributions.
When you use words like "extremely petty, narrow minded, self
centred, tyrannical" do you expect to be sued. I don't think
so.
If you are really interested in taking a shot at the ruling
party, you need to do a lot of homework to make sure that what you
say, where you say, to whom do you say.
If anything you said doesn't hurt them, they are not likely to
sue you.
If anything you said hurt them and you can prove it to
be true, you shouldn't be worried.
If anything you said hurt them, but turned out to be untrue,
then you wait for their lawyer letter.
They have an organisation, besides the government services
working for them, but most important of all, they are veteran
politicians, they have the education and experience. You got to
know who you are up against. and if you can't even convince the man
on the street, thinking that we were all
stupid and brainwashed, then a few of you remains just a few.
If you are not careful, you are giving bullets for the
ordinary people like me to shoot you.
