Let’s be honest, that’s true in every country where the government has real power. The moment you’re an actual threat to those in power, you’ll get shut down.
Right, and that’s why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that’s actually important is whose interest the government represents.
Of course. The moment a government feels threatened, it will show you ‘the violence inherent in the system’.
That’s … Just not true? Ragebait?

That’s unfair to lump all of the western world in with Australia. We ban a wide variety of things because they make us feel bad and not because it actually hurts anyone.
Johnny depps dogs, right wing authors, sports stars that won’t vaccinate, musicians that remind us were racist too, meat, German porn, Chinese fireworks. I think we have put a ban on Russian caviar too. Point is Australia likes to ban.
