Here in the US it seems practically as bad. And the Internet is just as bad - big tech’s stuffed with DSA activists - Marxists - who create lists of wrongthinkers to share with people like The Atlantic Group and Joan Donovan.
- bovermyer 5y agoI can't speak for others, but for me, I don't share my views publicly because there's a nonzero chance some crazy right-winger will try to find and kill me. I've already been stalked and "screamed" at online because of an offhand comment I made on a political article once.
- s9w 5y agoThe opposite is true. Political left is the one with the photo databases, death lists and cancel culture.
- OldGoodNewBad 5y agoWell as they say, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. I recommend arming yourself and carrying a concealed handgun.

- bovermyer 5y agoFreedom of speech in a civilized country generally also includes freedom from violent retaliation for saying the wrong thing. I'm fine with being insulted or yelled at for my views. But if someone physically attacks me for my views, that means something has gone very, very wrong with society.
