Thank goodness all those oppressive dictatorships didn't know that they could outlaw revolution. Otherwise, everyone would have just sat around twiddling their thumbs because, "Well, it's illegal!"
The fact of the matter is, no one other than a few crazies on the internet think the UK is a tyrannical state. If it really was, you would have unrest similar to actual dictatorships, like Syria and Libya. You wouldn't be able to type out your conspiracy theories, because the internet would be shut off.
- Pwnguinz 13y agoFalse dichotomy. China is a de facto dictatorship (and a de juris Republic), however their citizens can still surf the internet and type out things (censored, for sure, but a far cry from 'shut off'). Do you really want society to collapse to the point of Syria or Lybia before you want the citizenry to stand up for themselves? Or is everyone just a tin-foil hatter until secret police starts wisking people away?
- harrytuttle 13y agoPeople are arrested, charged and imprisoned in the UK for twitter and Facebook comments so you are wrong. This is just a comfortable dictatorship.
