The president of Uefa, Aleksander Ceferin, has made an outspoken intervention in European politics, saying ‘freedom of speech no longer exists’

I found this interesting. He criticised both the left and the right.

Ceferin argued that, because “no one can say what they think any more, except standup comedians”, the counter-argument to rightwing populism is not being made.

    wait, so he’s saying that it’s censorship of leftist ideas that’s led to a rise in right-wing populism?

    That’s one way to have a shit take. Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences. Not just that but people have been talking about so many issues for so long. Problem is that intolerant people don’t want to hear it and therefore talking is literally getting you nowhere. What kind of an idiot doesn’t understand that?
