New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been blasted for comparing free speech online to "weapons of war" in a recent speech to the U.N. that critics called "authoritarian."

"How do you successfully end a war if people are led to believe the reason for its existence is not only legal but noble," she said last week.

"How do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists? How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld, when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?"

Ardern acknowledged that taking away free speech is a threat to society. But, she argued that disinformation is just as dangerous and, therefore, censorship is justifiable…

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…

Totalitarian

Left here is doing the same, trying.

1984.

[Krosan]

She is an absolute moron and talks nonsense, but can she actually do it? I suspect she can’t.

[ChuckHam]

Commie gonna commie...

[Rurudyne]

When the rubber meets the road it’s all about the “ideology” that faggotry is bad.

All to faggotry the Left surrenders.

[Red Badger]

Lemme guess..........Ministry of Truth?....................

[SaxxonWoods]

How about a government that does what the citizens want?

Just joking, never mind. Totalitarians don’t care what the people want.

[gundog]

They’ll take the Second, first, and the First, second....

h/t to an unremembered Freeper.

[DarrellZero]

Liberals are just fascists with the very thinnest veneer of tolerance on top.

“ Ardern acknowledged that taking away free speech is a threat to society. But, she argued that disinformation is just as dangerous and, therefore, censorship is justifiable”

Wow, this has been the rationalization of every dictator in history.

[hardspunned]

Thank goodness, in America the government doesn’t brag about it. That’s the only difference between them and our government/media/big tech axis. The New Zealanders are only getting their noses rubbed in it.

Ayn Rand predicted this would happen, if the children of Berkeley's "Free Speech Movement" ever got control of the levers of power.

She grew up in post-revolution Russia; she was 12 years old in 1917, and emigrated to the United States nine years later.

Her prediction was based on direct observation.

Not to worry, they'll get their wish, ...

however they'll be speaking that Government Truth in Mandarin ...

[Bonemaker]

Wonder when that little snot is up for reelection?

[Seruzawa]

Pure evil.

[katana]

Sad to see this happen in such a beautiful land. Once seriously considered emigrating there and am so glad we didn't. At least here we have a fighting (Constitutional) chance against these Orcs.

Still, per square foot or meter, the most beautiful country I've ever seen.

Ayn Rand's prediction was based on direct observation.

A critical and overlooked fact.

[RoosterRedux]

It is better than these totalitarians out themselves so we know what we are dealing with.

After all, we can't fight an enemy that we cannot identify and define.

The Bolshevik/Soviet movement was a Marxist/Feminist/Homosexual movement to liberate all from the restraints of Religion and traditional roles. Immediately after the Revolution, millions of Russian women and children were abandoned by their husbands who went to the cities for womanizing and homosexual orgies. Russia basically collapsed, but was saved by Herbert Hoover’s supply chain/Logistics genius. After this, the Russians brought restrictions on homosexuality
