And they're all so sure a right-wing government will never take power and use it against them.
Malaysia, Hong Kong, and India all have a colonial-era Sedition Act and it is as draconian as you make it out to be. Criticizing the monarchy, insulting Islam, and insulting the prime minister are all considered seditious in Malaysia. Suddenly the police aren't cracking down hard enough? Whatever happened to ACAB? Are Democrats going to demand that Antifa Blackshirts be charged with sedition? Does the Left actually stand for freedom at all or are they just grandstanding as usual?
"Freedom for me but not for thee."
Page is a leftist and he's commenting against sedition, and I wholeheartedly agree. Also, the Democrats are cringe and they aren't leftist.
Anyways, stop posting mountains of buzzwords.
