bearing in mind, this is also a country that will jail you for a meme post online.

    No, not just memes that encourage people to riot on the streets. But you know that, and it's funny that you think that you'd think that meme encouraging that should be enough to land someone in jail anyways. I mean, it fits very well with the servile "king's subject" mentality that your average Brit has but still, always funny to come across. (And no I'm not american, but the UK is on the opposite end of rationalizing every single restriction and siding with authorities every single time. It's extremely pitiful to see)

      Who got jailed for a meme that wasn't inciting to riot?
  • mistercheph 2y ago
    Peaceful protest that power doesn't like is a riot

      Example? Or is this hypothetical?

        I can think of Canada's Emergency powers act being invoked over the Freedom Convoy.

  The full agenda of course is: if we jail someone for the meme, then we get to force the company to remove the meme, and then we get to destroy the company if they do not comply with exacting specifications within exact times. Thus full control of speech, teehee modern technology brings modern loopholes! "shut up peon, you still have full right to go into your front yard and say your meme to the squirrels"

    You can say it in your back yard to a garden gnome, the front yard is within earshot of public lands and the squirrels are locally endangered.
