What did Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Ivan the Terrible, Genghis Khan, Idi Amin and Caligula have in common? That’s right: they were all able to speak.
The riots in the UK were directly caused by bad words on the internet. This quite obviously proves that free speech is a tyrannical concept, one that can lead directly to murder, terrorism, genocide and — worst of all — misgendering.
And so it is a relief to see that one of Keir Starmer’s key priorities as prime minister is to crack down on online speech. Already he has ingenuously granted early release from prison for drug dealers, sex offenders and violent criminals to free up space for bigots who have said nasty things on social media.
The government has repeatedly pointed out that the riots in the UK were directly caused by bad words on the internet. One of those arrested was an elderly retired midwife from Devon, who had accidentally read an inflammatory Facebook post whilst browsing for cupcake recipes. Within ten minutes, she found herself punching Persian toddlers and throwing grenades at a mosque.
For all the endless whingeing of free speech extremists, Starmer appreciates that words must be controlled to ensure that his subjects behave themselves. Surely most reasonable people would rather have their liberties restricted than live in a fascist state?

Love Titania. Read her book when it was published.
Thankfully it’s just a parody account on Twitter/X.
They have misgendered themselves by not accepting their sex of birth.
I always thought something wasn’t quite right there
I believe that was actually a woman playing that part - not a guy
It was the facial structure and the expressions
Cue Frank Burns
Unless...
Could be. You never know with aliens, or with Star Trek. By the way, the more you look at what directions Gene Roddenberry wanted to go with Star Trek, as opposed to what we actually got, the more you realize it’s a good thing he didn’t get everything he wanted.
Simple answer. You don’t like free speech, you are free to give up your passport and leave the country. Heck, I will gladly donate five bucks for however you choose to leave.

Liberals really believe this.
