Saying Irish Lives Matter in Ireland is now a hate incident Seriously? You can't even say your own people matter in their country anymore. There is a political class across these islands that truly despise their citizens

If your own nation’s flag becomes a symbol of rebellion or threatens social cohesion, you are living under a hostile government.

Crazy story from Spain. 7 people jailed for a year for calling migrants "scum" in a Facebook group. Charges were dropped, then a government-funded charity called the Jesuit Migrant Service sued them and they were convicted.
El Tribunal Supremo condena a penas de prisión por delito de odio a siete personas que difundieron en Facebook comentarios contra los menores extranjeros no acompañados en Melilla 📄 Nota informativa:

Not satisfied with just destroying young school teacher Enoch Burke's life for refusing to use pronouns. The Gardaí have taken away and imprisoned his mother and sister. Insane goings on in Ireland! https://t.co/ALw490sC9P

Annualized, UK speech prosecutions are running at about 17x those of the Soviet Union under Brezhnev. Of course, the USSR had 4x the population, so more like 68x the prosecutions/person*year.
USSR in the Brezhnev era prosecuted its domestic enemies under Article 70 (Agitation) & Article 190-1 (Disinformation). 3,234 people were arrested under those articles from 1962-1985. The UK prosecuted 2,341 cases of internet speech in 2022 alone, with 1,816 convictions.

Incredible. The public pressure on the EU over its Digital Censorship Act has led EU censors to move to closed-doors meetings and auto-delete messages in coordinating their censorship ops.
In Politico today: Senior 🇪🇺 official admits greater public scrutiny of DSA has lead to meetings becoming secret and his staff using Signal to communicate—thereby making it virtually impossible for voters/journalists to probe work of this EU department. Something to hide?

This is El Salvador under Nayib Bukele. A little girl shows and thanks for the gift box she received from the government for school, which includes school supplies and a computer. El Salvador is a poor country. Without many resources. But enough ones so that when no one

🚨 SHELLENBERGER: “Free speech is hanging by a thread globally, and that thread is Elon Musk … What's happening on X right now is a change of consciousness and … the establishment is desperate to either shut it down or censor it … It is a central priority for the left.”
