Wow. This is incredible. How on earth do people believe they have the right to tell people how to think and what to say in their domicile?

It used to be a funny parody or satire we used to assign to despotic fascist or communist regimes... but has this come back to bite us.

I'm not espousing hate speech. I wish people were civil and pleasant but that's not reality and we also disagree on what is hate (depending on perspective) --but this crime bill is beyond the pale. It's draconian. I'm not even sure China goes to this extent unless it's anti-government speech.

People don't know what they are doing to themselves.

This is right up there with communist states having husbands, wives and children rat on each other plainly to weaken citizens and strengthen the government.



Yes Scarfolk used to be a great dystopian humour outlet - today it seems more and more like a training manual for government.

How would you know? Wouldn't there be survivorship bias?
