Speech is becoming illegal

 

Contemplate the following example of Woke Tyranny operating in Ireland:

 

 

UFC star Conor McGregor [see here] has continued his flurry of offence against the Irish government, branding the Prime Minster Leo Varadkar “a disgrace” over comments made about a child who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.

 

The five time world champion responded to a post on X made by Varadkar about Emily Hand who was returned to her family over the weekend.

 

Varadkar described the child as being “lost” and claimed she “has now been found and returned.”

 

McGregor noted that the 8-year-old child was “abducted by an evil terrorist organisation,” adding “What is with you and your government and your paid for media affiliates constantly down playing / attempting to repress horrific acts that happen to children.”

 

The MMA legend continued, “You are a disgrace. The day after a stabbing of children in Ireland, NOT ONE PAPER HAD IT ON THEIR FRONT COVER. We will not forget.”

 

[F]ollowing the stabbing of three children by an Algerian migrant in Dublin last week, he slammed authorities for targeting Irish people who rioted in the streets in response.

 

McGregor’s comments have prompted Irish authorities to start an investigation to determine if the fighter has violated ‘online hate speech’ laws.

Was the Prime Minister's tweet really as bad . . .

 

. . . as McGregor implied?

 

Yes, woke wimpiness on stilts:

 

 

Leo Varadkar

@LeoVaradkar

 

This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief.  Our prayers have been answered.

And here is McGregor's not unreasonable response to it:

@TheNotoriousMMA

 

She was abducted by an evil terrorist organization. What is with you and your government and your paid for media affiliates constantly down playing / attempting to repress horrific acts that happen to children. You are a disgrace. The day after a stabbing of children in Ireland, NOT ONE PAPER HAD IT ON THEIR FRONT COVER. We will not forget.

The moral? — We should be wondering whose plan for national self-destruction . . .

 

. . . this woke totalitarian — speech-suppressing and self-defense-obliterating — trend in governance is.

 

For example, it is Western civilization's silence that has allowed the deeply fascist United States to imperially imprison and slowly murder-in-progress — via confined isolation — the truth-publishing Julian Assange.

 

This totalitarian-inspired torture taking place under the approving gaze of America's corralled population of obediently unthinking fleece-brains.

 

We are witnessing decomposed Western civilization's terminally diarrhetic ass-drool.

 

Phrased another way, a monumental tide of self-destroying chickenshit-ness has taken over the Western coop.

 

Recall Pastor Martin Niemöller’s (1892-1984) famous World War II line:

 

 

First, they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --

 

      Because I was not a Socialist.

 

Then, they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --

 

      Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

 

Then, they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --

 

      Because I was not a Jew.

 

Then, they came for me--

 

      And there was no one left to speak for me.
