RIP Free Speech

[Haironyourchest]

Every problem contains within itself, the seed of its solution. Every time the police arrest a normal, right thinking person, for wrong-speak, it tips the public sentiment needle a little more to the right. Another crack in the dam and a little more pressure.

Yeah personally I could do without the right to life, freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, freedom from slavery and forced labour, the right to liberty and security, the right to a fair trial, respect for private and family life, home, and correspondence, freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association and, worst of all, protection from discrimination.

But we dont live in a 3rd world , and really u have no right to life ,

Have I rattled some amnesty  international  person?

Common sense is extremely rare these days as I'm sure you're very aware of, to me it's very troubling just how stupid most folk are becoming, too stupid to even discuss current affairs with any intellect...

 

Happily ' to some extent ' it would appear that many of the cancelled world's most eminent scientists seem to be being allowed to once again voice their opinion, although it would appear that the the damage is already done, and the latest generation have zero interest in logic, truth or feck all else of any value.

 

 

It's only going to get worse: folk are going to get stupider and stupider with less and less common sense. Why bother thinking if you no longer have to?

This topic, along with modern economic concepts (complete globalisation of wealth, tax, emissions/climate control policies), simply comes down to a binary choice of whether one is a transhumanist or not...

Are we, the human race, better off (a totally subjective concept) following the lead of vastly powerful and unimaginable wealthy technocrats who ultimately 'know best', or best to follow our natural instincts and strive towards more autonomy and less government?? 

I can't help but think certain things are simply inevitable - once electricity had been invented, was it not inevitable we would end up with this looming AI conundrum?? 

Once caravaggio, the renowned renaissance painter, had infamously used a prostitute as a model for the virgin Mary, would we not end up with Tracy emin's dirty used bed being hailed as a post modern masterpiece??

The same line of thought could be used to understand many controversial modern standpoints - the feminist movement culminates eventually in all men being misogynistic bigots. How could this end any other way? 

Climate agenda - it is not just enough to be interested in making things that last, or use rainwater where possible, or grow some easy veg for your family for example, oh no you must be classed as evil and or totally ignorant if you don't lust after a massively overweight and inefficient electric car charged by coal! 

The sexual revolution debate - ultimately ended up in cutting off breasts of minors to prove a point to exactly who?? 

 

My point being, its just what's fashionable that dictates what is easily said or not so easily said. The case with the more 'woke' amoung us, is that they feel 'safe' and 'good' spouting what they have been told, and have therfore confused that with being correct. It's a very subconscious, human mistake to make. 

Peace out.
