2011
Freedom of expression, freedom of speech, concepts considered essential in the so-called “liberal democracies”, recognized as the foundation of the human right to speech and other expressions of thought. But is this the case?
Our reality is apparently quite different. The West, which historically has sowed disaster around the world by setting itself up as the champion and exporter of certain ideals, is now showing its true colors more than ever.
Hypocrisy is rampant at the institutional level, and those who should be vigilant in guaranteeing certain freedoms are increasingly becoming censors and oppressors.
Expressing non-aligned thoughts is becoming more difficult and dangerous every day, making individuals increasingly helpless, conformed, and manipulable.
Orwell is more actual than ever.
