There's a wide chasm between what the government and media portray this protest as, and the reality on the ground.

The following channel contains hundreds of hours of raw unedited video:

I challenge you to find one nazi flag there.

If you can't find any, then maybe you should rethink how much trust you place in your news sources.

What exactly prevents whoever filmed this of simply not posting any clip that's offensive? Because I've seen many videos and photos of hate symbols, and there are quite a few examples of assault and harassment

It's not clips, it's live unedited raw video.

If you want to be 100% sure, you can watch it live.

You mean in the videos extensively edited and cherry-picked to hide any reference to Nazi flags or any hate symbol?

No, he means the raw unedited videos, like the ones on channel he linked. The extensively edited and cherry-picked videos are the ones shown by corporate media and partisans.

Is it though? Things don't magically disappear from raw footage. Either you edit it out or not show inconvenient footage.

I mean, all this gaslighting requires you in the very least to accuse other footage from the same events and involving the same people of being fabricated.
