The narrowing of free speech and the declaration as hate speech, insanity or "backwardness" was a routine process in the USSR. You have private NGOs tracking and harassing speech that is still within the law in europe, while state actors support hate speech pushed by foreign actors. Its bad.

Take the use of taxes in fraud to buy votes en mass in michigan by the almost vice president. Or keir starmer just ignoring crimes comitted by his voting clientele. Its soviet block level bad out there.
