    This is just unchecked conservatism doing what it does.

    Conservatism is a plague of oppression that is in desperate need of a cure. Do your part by disowning and excluding conservatives in your daily life. It is inappropriate to do business or keep relationships with such people.

      I mean, its a monarchy. Monarchies can’t exist in the face of unregulated speech and assembly, because they necessarily do things the bulk of the population hates in order to reproduce as a social class.

      Disowning and Excluding monarchs isn’t any kind of practical solution. Neither the Prince of Wales nor the King of Siam actually give a shit about whether I’m friends with them on Facebook. And pretending I can avoid doing business with a guy who owns all the real estate that makes up the country sort of misses the reason monarchs have all this power to begin with.

      You can’t socially distance yourself from monarchism, shy of fleeing the monarchical state. This isn’t a problem that’s solved with consumer choice because Monarchs - by their very nature - don’t afford you a choice of leadership.

      Conservatism? The progressives all around the world are the ones calling for online speech to be regulated. They want all “hate speech” - well only when it’s said against them - to be illegal.
