Exactly. Unfortunately technology and advances in transportation make it too easy for people to just get up and move away from their problems.
But eventually you’ll have 80% of the population living on 20% of the land, and that’s just not sustainable.
Ways must be found to distribute prosperity everywhere.
As Rush said, the problem is “an unequal distribution of capitalism”.

The bill states: “Hate speech is designed to shut people down, to shut them up, to make them afraid to say who they are and to exclude and isolate them. There is nothing free about that, and there is, frankly, no place for it in our society.”
There’s “no place for” that bill “in our society.”

Needed: A new, non-commie version of the IRA. The task: Hunt down and dispatch each and every politician who had a hand in creating this legislation or voted to approve it.

What kind of societies are the Western democracies that allow mentally damaged women to take away their freedoms? And this in Ireland, no less, that resisted the British boot for centuries. It’s sad to watch them crumble to a bunch of globalist ninnies.

There are constitutional exceptions to free speech in the US..incitement, slander etc. and I suppose they are for the “common good” as well.
Ironically, freedom of speech was meant to apply to any speech which might have even tangential political value. Types of "speech" which were never intended to be covered (photos and videos of gross sex acts, for example) are now freer than they've ever been. Meanwhile, political speech not approved of by the government is forbidden.
