Thailand's thin-skinned king demands Youtube take down Chaplin's "The Great Dictator"

Which would be a fantastic counter-argument if @deerpig’s argument had been “Thailand is better or more free than the U.S.A.”. But it wasn’t. What i understand them to be saying (with some editorial from me in these same italics) is that we are blaming the wrong people for this. The king isn’t the one who demanded this (and in fact is probably being used as a distraction by those currently in power), it was the most recent coup winners. And as an aside that the U.S. government has been giving the multiple iterations of military might backed “governments” of Thailand military assistance.
