In the wake of the Southport attack and ensuing riots, we wrote that the agenda had become clear – it was about attacking free speech.Little did we suspect how quickly they would move, and how brazenly authoritarian they would become, culminating in quite literal show trials for Facebook posts:All while the so called “liberals” are applauding and spouting phrases they don’t realize they’ve been hypnotized into believing through endless repetition.“Tolerating intolerance just leads to more intolerance in the end.”“Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences”“It was never an absolute right”If it wasn’t obvious from the outset, it’s quite clear now that this entire situation has been a contrivance.As it turns out it was a masterfully played hand that has perfectly set up the template for other governments who may want to crackdown on free expression in the future.
