Worse than the fake news: the surveillance. Someone dared to post the truth? Torture him! Imprison him!
An old movie about the Berlin wall, "The Lives of Others," captured that.
I'm sorry for the situation in your homeland but impressed with your efforts to make the best of it and share the truth with whoever will listen.
