Spoken like someone who has never lived in an oppressive regime. Must be nice.

On the other hand, being that inconsiderate isn’t very nice at all. Plenty of people live in places were saying the wrong thing and get your jailed or worse, like the UK: https://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2025/09/09/people-a...

Or at least never been on the receiving end of an oppressive regieme. Look at e.g. Germany. Plenty of ex-SED members are happy the relive the past.

> People Are Being Thrown In U.K. Prisons Over What They’ve Said Online.

Hmm yeah, let's see.

> The recent arrest at London’s Heathrow airport of a noted Irish comedian, Graham Linehan, for the “crime” of three politically incorrect tweets vividly illustrates how far Britain has fallen.

Oh, Graham Linehan being brought up again. Curious, what did he say that landed him in trouble?

> If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.

Ah yes, poor little Graham got arrested for only inciting a little extrajudicial violence. Poor guy, he was only being 'politically incorrect'! Truly free speech is under assault and you just get jailed for posting memes in the UK.

lol no wonder, you have no other choice but to have your communications monitored for compliance regarding acceptable social norms. I bet if you posted the alternative opinion you'd be put to death.
