Courts are not built to determine the truth, though, they're built to come to a verdict. In practice there are many countries that restrict the speech against the rich, including here in the US (ie the whole Peter Thiel/gawker debacle). I don't want to misstate the case, though, you are clearly much safer from these laws here in the US than in other ex british colonies.
Also, what does the cold war alignment have to do with this?
- IncRnd 6y agoFirst, Second, and Third world country designations originated as US-aligned, Soviet-aligned, and non-aligned. However, the meanings of these have changed from political designations to economic designationms.
- monadic2 6y agoAhh, so i take it russia, Brazil, and China are all first world countries now? Economically, american citizens have much lower access to basic social services and we let people die on the street with vacant housing in the neighborhood. Does that make us second world or third world?
