In theory you have a right, in practice you might sit in a cell for years awaiting trial.
government rarely apply laws evenly
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male Especially lately, this administration has been particularly bad im regard to persecuting dissent.
It's world wide, or 1st world wide, UN pushes mechanisms for this persecution into legislation of member states.
@white_male @StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity Obviously persecution over speech is worse in the EU and UK, nobody should post under their real names over there under any circumstance. #FreeMrBond
what about fag posting in arab nations?
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male Don't post about your crimes is generally good advice no matter where you are.
Indigenous, religious drive. We complain about foreign, ideological mandates.
@white_male @StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity I complain about all mandates because freedom is neat. If someone tries to tell me what to do, I generally assume they have bad ideas and like watching their spouse fuck other people.
1st priority, your own backyard, after that we can get back to civilizing the world. K?
just making a point that totalitarians are everywhere
i think this accurately portrays op
@StephanGuy @mrclownworld @Chris Liss @ToxicFemininity @white_male That's not unlikely, most of the boomers I've known are into that sort of thing. I've met a lot of people with OP's takes, they just dont understand how dangerous and totalitarian the liberals have become.
No one is arguing you are not allowed to speak anonymously. I am simply discouraging it. Where people speak with their names attached without fear, no one gets put in a cell for it, and those who try to put them in a cell would be the ones who need to fear.
