Education without critical thinking can be dangerous. Degrees can create confidence without understanding, and ignorance dressed as expertise becomes more harmful than simple lack of knowledge. True education sharpens judgment, not just credentials, and modern society often confuses the two.

I agree with this white chick. I am not raising my 2 sons to be bullies. However, they know we expect them to fight when they have to.

Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticized Minnesota's Democrat leadership for failing to enforce state law and arrest protesters who stormed into a local church over the weekend.

"We don't want to prejudge, but I think it is fair to say that I saw multiple federal criminal incidents yesterday, and there will be charges," she said.

Dhillon explained that as soon as she learned about the situation at Cities Church, she immediately activated prosecutors and sent FBI agents to investigate to determine whether the left-wing radicals had violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act or committed any related criminal offenses, including potential conspiracy charges and material support.

The Australian government's latest assault on free speech is barreling toward reality faster than a kangaroo on a caffeine high. Just this week, reports emerged of an exposure draft for sweeping new legislation that would empower the government to cancel visas, seize materials, and crack down on anything they deem "hate speech" or "extremist ideology." While Parliament is set to return on January 30 to debate and likely ram this through, the writing is on the wall: it's the most damaging threat to online free speech we've seen in a decade.

The Albanese Government's bill, unveiled in the wake of last year's Bondi terror attack, targets non-citizens (and potentially anyone on a visa) suspected of advocating hate against a "protected group," displaying "prohibited hate symbols," or associating with "listed extremist organizations." No conviction needed—just "reasonable suspicion." Border Force officers could seize your gear at the airport without a warrant if it smells like Nazi insignia or ISIS swag to them. And get this: it applies to conduct overseas too. Your old tweet? Your social media history? All fair game for visa cancellation or refusal.

This builds on announcements from December 2025, where Prime Minister Albanese promised "aggravated hate speech offences" for preachers and leaders, harsher penalties for online posts, and even listing organizations for promoting "racial hatred" or "advocacy for racial supremacy." Critics like Liberty Victoria are already sounding the alarm: this undermines due process, chills dissent, and could be weaponized against whistleblowers, activists, or anyone who doesn't toe the progressive line on issues like immigration or cultural debates. Universities are sweating over their 600,000 international students— one "outspoken" post, and poof, visa gone. Businesses? They're scrambling to vet employees' social media before sending them Down Under. As one law firm put it, "Your employee's tweet could now become a visa liability."

Why is this the biggest free speech killer in a decade? Think back: We've seen the EU's Digital Services Act, and the U.S.'s endless Section 230 fights. But Australia's move is uniquely insidious because it weaponizes free expression. It's not just fining platforms or forcing content removal—it's exiling people for words. Online, this means tech companies face a tsunami of government takedown requests tied to visa cases. Platforms like ours at Gab, which exist to protect uncensored speech, will be in the crosshairs.

We all know "hate speech" is a slippery slope. Today it's "antisemitism," tomorrow it's criticizing government policy on borders or climate. We've seen it play out in the UK with their Online Safety Act last year, where the government leaned on platforms to hand over user data or face fines—leading to shadowbans and deplatforming sprees. Germany? They've been fining Gab for "hate" posts for years under the NetzDG law and turning X (formerly Twitter) and others into extensions of the state censor.

Australia is still a penal colony. What a shitheel country!

IDGAF about what they do to non-citizens, thats the governments prerogative, but the citizens right being trampled should result in the leaders getting butchered.
