Sure, but what the person I replied to is claiming is that e.g. North Korea doesn’t lie to its people about reasons it does things, which is, of course, bullshit.
They said that all governments do some terrible things but in case of the governments that claim they are not authoritarian they pretext those things with something that will make the public not think they are doing a terrible thing.
In case of restricting Internet freedom or invading other countries it’s usually “but think of children”.

They claimed that authoritarian governments do not do this since they have no reason.
