The attacks on freedom of political speech and opposition to another Western war of conquest and mass destruction against a far, far, weaker enemy of 'evil doers', is worrying for both civil rights and freedom of expression.
But that seems to be the way we're headed, as we prepare for more wars, which can, I believe, be defined as aggressive and imperialist, because they are fundamentally about resources, control of markets, and rival economic systems. The West is losing control of the world they created over the last 500 years, for their narrow benefit, and the West is prepared to fight to preserve that world, regardless of how unjust and undmocratic it is; and that's before we even address its dire effect on the enviroment and the climate.
All opposition to the State, is slowy, or rapidly, being criminalized and outlawed. Liberal Democracy is dying before our eyes.
