Free speech will have to go to preserve multiculturalism
The Telegraph ^ | December 23, 2025 | Sean Thomas

Posted on 12/27/2025 4:36:37 PM PST by fluorescence

One Australian politician has said the quiet part out loud

It’s not often the Premier of New South Wales says something that changes the political debate in the UK and elsewhere, but so it is this week. Following the awful carnage on Bondi Beach, NSW Premier Chris Minns gave a press conference about new legal restrictions on speech, and said this:

“I acknowledge that we don’t have the same free speech rules that they have in the United States and I make no apologies for that, we have got a responsibility to knit together our community, that comes from different races and religions.”

Nor was this a one off, he has said exactly this before, several times – perhaps most pithily in March when he phrased it thus: “I’ve fully said from the beginning that we don’t have the same freedom of speech laws that they have in the United States, and the reason for that is that we want to hold together a multicultural community.”

This is such a startling admission that I confess, when I first heard it, that I did that meme where the guy blinks twice in bemused surprise. Because, of course, what Premier Minns came right out and said is what many people across the “free-speaking” Western world have suspected for a long time.

The powers-that-be in Australia, the UK, and the EU believe you can have multiculturalism, and you can have free speech, but not both. And since multiculturalism must always come first, it is free speech that must yield, wither and ultimately die.

Before we come to that startling revelation, however, we need to address Minns’s references to America, because they are quite bizarre...

or better, multiculturalism (at least minus the one “culture” of blood, death, and destruction) will have to go... to preserve liberty (including free speech) in not just UK but in USA Canada France Germany Belgium Spain Australia, etc

It was always predicted that mass immigration and multiculturalism would require a police state.

Said that years ago and was hooted down as being too paranoid.

Bunk.

Now they admit that mass turd world immigration results in our rights being taken away.

We have nothing in common with Australia anymore. We should end all “5 eyes” agreements with them along with any military or police cooperation and subject their citizens to hard line immigration rules before they can come here to visit or live...especially the latter. Most “Aussies” coming here to live now are likely Chinese, Indonesian or Indians trying to hopscotch their way into the US by getting residency first in either Australia, Canada or the UK. IOW...by fraud.

Well, according to the letters to editor in our local rag...Trump is taking away free speech, is a dictator, and better release the Epstein stuff!

The Left will lose control because the Islamists will take over.

Kind of like kicking the Cherokee off their land was deemed more politically expedient than defending their sovereign rights. Politicians had nothing to gain by defending the rights of nonvoters and everything to gain by creating a new electorate to replace them. Satisfying a bunch of recently arrived squatters was a way to guarantee a solid voting base for generations to come.

Any culture that doesn’t not value free speech is a crap culture.

When they look at us, our rulers do not see voters, they see millions of potential unbelievers, who must be menaced into silence.

That pretty much sums up their attitude.

Society will be so destroyed by then that few will notice an immediate difference. The left will already be strictly enforcing blasphemy laws on infidels and not punishing muslim crimes against them.
And there is no reason to interrupt your enemy when he is destroying himself, so the Islamists will probably allow the dhimmis to keep the leftist social engineering that ruined them.

Meaning that it is built on lies.

Total non-sequitur, if anything free speech is especially important in a “multicultural” society. The guy might not be totally stupid, but he thinks you are.

I think we are already at that point. America isn't quite America. But so far the Constitution remains intact. Our institutions remain in place.

Europe is already gone.

Yes, Telepathic... And America would be a danger to OTHER cultures because our powerful military would be in the wrong hands. 

Imagine if somehow Harris won the 2024 election and the RATS and RINOs owned Congress at the same time.  Our country would likely have quickly devolved into a banana republic and our constitutional rights would go away.

We were THAT CLOSE to becoming another Maoist regime. Scary but real.  Go President Trump!  Save our republic and way of life...

Sniper rifles exist because of multiculturalism.

Idk about that. America is armed and will not go quietly with an Islamic take over. Once again, the nation founded on Liberty will be called on to show the way. It may be ugly and on our own shores, but it is coming. A terrible clash of civilizations.
