The West has lost its freedom of speech

Orwell nailed it.

I don't know much about what JP is about, it seems he has become more political recently, but let's have all non violent views aired and discussed like sensible people without all these attack the man not the ball tactics.

If only
JP is in many way a hero in my view as he managed to raise true questions about our current destruction of judeo christian culture, past the bashing, the hate and man, i would not have been able to do that.
He has culture, knowledge, is a very good talker and easily destroy intellectually most of the woke clique when offered a chance to debate discuss;
Most importantly, he has probably saved countless lives by offering young boys/guys an alternate to suicide: you do not keep telling young white teenagers boys that they are rubbish, worthless and not worth anything unless they become gay or glue themself on the next Picasso.
You may believe I am pushing but think about it:
especially if you have a kid.or grandchild at school or uni and have direct knowledge on what is going on..I am NOT exaggerating.
Take the time to listen to him and redirect his talks videos etc if you have some young bloke in your circle who feel trapped.
And it is free

Orwell nailed it.

No talk, no science, no facts..the 2023 western world.
In former USSR, commoners were left alone, only the elite (writers, artists, public figures) were locked and targeted.
Nowaday in the west, even a GP can not state facts or figures unless it fits with the narrative, a uni teacher loses its job if it reveals factual data and a nurse or teacher aid is expelled from job for not following the Leaders talk.
USSR collapse as a result of 40y of economic decay, will the woke WEF west follow?
I often feel we are just surviving on past efforts and success..so a limited future

Free speech:

Opinion | The Campaign to Re-Educate Jordan Peterson

For speaking his mind, the psychologist could lose his license.

And we stared at China and PolPot and their reeducation camps

Oh mate... Don't go there.

One thing I learned very quickly living with those beaver eating snow monkeys is that they do not have freedom of speech. What they do have is an ingrained hatred of all things American - especially freedom of speech (and guns, Canadians really hate guns). Trying to use freedom of speech excuse in that country is a one-way ticket to nowhere.

Funny how the ABC forgot to even try to explain why Australia is falling hard

Nordic countries dominate democracy rankings, as Australia drops to 15th

Thailand's ranking on a democracy index has improved more than any other country in the world over the past year, even as other nations in Asia have seen their scores fall.

We went down 5 places..maybe forbidding citizen to leave the country, stopping medical professionals to speak, forcing people into medical tests and pushing the creation of an openly racist country..is not seen positively by these far right white patriarchal despots in the jury?
But as long as our 2 party systems carries on..
If you do not like it, leave it they say..well ?

It would be nice to know why we dropped.

Maybe because we put criminals in jail regardless of their racial origins.

Honestly, looking at the 10 countries before us they are all good democracies.
Norway, NZ, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland, Netherlands, Taiwan.

No doubt about that but I would say that there would be a degree of subjectivism in the rankings , depending on the political leanings of the judges.

I note also that France has been upgraded to a full democracy from a flawed democracy while the USA remains a flawed democracy so isn't in the list of 24 full democracies. Its also about everyone having an equal vote. In the USA you have the ability to rig the voting using gerrymandering. You have politicians controlling the voting system, not an independent body.

it was widely reported that Ron DeSantis after winning at the last election added two small voting districts which will vote Republican to make sure his position is not threatened in the future. You shouldn't be able to do that in a Democracy.

As in Europe, the left is bending forward to islam taking over the west..and no surprise
More votes, more deals
Did you know?

Stephen Jones boosts dud Islamic super fund

The minister in charge of the super sector still provides tacit endorsement to a fund that performs so badly it is being regulated out of stand-alone existence.

And he carried on since..google
Unless the AFR is another conspiracy paper read by the frog and Trump afficionados..
