When a commie dictator tells you to bend over and take it you’re not allowed to tell anyone that a commie dictator told you to bend over and take it.
That’s in line with what communism is all about.
Affirmative, it is effectively speech control, and thought control.
It requires those that speak against leftist policy to have assembled, audited and recorded proof of truth, to the satisfaction of the leftie commissar or have their entire wealth confiscated.
In addition, price rises in all services and stock purchased by the individual are assumed to be NOT caused by carbon taxes, without the same proof (unavailable to the purchaser).
Notice that the LEFT and the public masters are NOT required to provide proof of ANYTHING they allege.
