  7. A quotation from Henry Commager

    A nation which, in the name of loyalty or of patriotism or of a sincere and high-sounding idea, discourages criticism and dissent, and puts a premium on acquiescence and conformity, is headed for disaster.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1949-11-05), “What Ideas Are Safe?” Saturday Review

  8. @irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.

    It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

  9. @alterelefant @mattsheffield Indeed. I made a new flag for America Rouge (my sarcastic name for the US regime) based on the style of the actual Khmer Rouge flag.

    For the thought police of the Czech🇵🇭*) regime, EU🇪🇺 : this is meant as a criticism of Khmer Rouge and US regime, not their promotion.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the US regime when it behaves as authoritarian as it does.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Khmer Rouge regime when it murdered and killed so many people.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech🇵🇭*) regime when it IMO behaves like a thought police and makes it a crime to express certain ideas to the point that I am afraid when criticizing authoritarian regimes to the point that I add a disclaimer that this is meant as a criticism . (Maybe the Czech🇵🇭*) regime aims to make criticism of authoritarian regimes illegal by indirect means of chilling effect?)

    *) It's actually Philippine flag and not Czech🇵🇭 flag. I use it because the Czech regime has another thoughtcrime regarding the Czech🇵🇭 flag so I use a similar looking flag which is provably not the Czech🇵🇭 flag, so that the Czech🇵🇭 regime cannot retaliate for criticism or dissent via lawfare. I also feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech🇵🇭 regime for this.

  11. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.

    Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965) American diplomat, statesman
    Speech (1952-08-28), “Faith in Liberalism,” State Committee of the Liberal Party, New York City

  15. I don't know who needs to hear this, but either your local businesses put #fibre everywhere, your #government does - or you do.

    It's a matter of #military #security to have a #network that has redundancy upon redundancy in order to thwart takeovers.

    It should even go so far as your local neighborhood being it's own #ISP, that you and your neighbors can expand the capacity at will.

    The #internet has become ubiquitous with #freedomofspeech and #organizational #power. Why limit it?

  16. Rajasthan Police Know Manusmriti, Not Bhagwad Gita, Was Burnt But Ambedkarites Remain in Jail

  17. hi #commodons and #lawons (?!) One of the questions swirling in my mind these days is: in which cases does a word or statement become the subject of criminal law? How can we eliminate hate speech while protecting #freedomofexpression? Can you suggest useful scientific studies, both theoretical and practical, on the punishment of #hatespeech and the paradoxical relationship between freedom of expression and hate speech? #hate speech #criminallaw #media #freedomofspeech #paradoxes #dilemmas
