Very few of the world’s devastating famines have occurred in countries where there were strong protections for freedom of speech.

Who needs famines when you have jobs that don’t pay enough to live on, centralised in places that are too expensive to live in.

So it’s not like too many people have ever had the opportunity to choose one of (food or free speech) by forgoing the other.

Inequality is a path to dictatorship. It’s the path we are on now, but it is not too late to turn back.
