“Excessive free speech”

I can’t say I ever expected such a tyrannical phrase to ever be uttered.

Tells you how upset our masters are that we dare have unapproved communications.

Pretty much the same thing that happened 600 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-five_Theses

“It detailed Martin Luther’s opposition to what he saw as the Roman Catholic Church’s abuse and corruption by Catholic clergy, who were selling plenary indulgences, which were certificates supposed to reduce the temporal punishment in purgatory for sins committed by the purchasers or their loved ones.

“In the Theses, Luther claimed that the repentance required by Christ in order for sins to be forgiven involves inner spiritual repentance rather than merely external sacramental confession. He argued that indulgences led Christians to avoid true repentance and sorrow for sin, believing that they could forgo it by obtaining an indulgence.”
