It appears that freedom of speech is under attack all across the western world. One only has to look at Britain or Ireland to see draconian crackdowns by governments against speech they don’t like. As is typical in these times, it is “woke” leftist governments that are mainly engaging in this behaviour.

Freedom of speech is one of the pillars of democracy. Freedom of speech also entails people being offended from time to time. The “right” not to be offended is not a pillar of democracy. (It is not even a right.) It instead is being used as a pretence by governments to stifle opposition and entrench themselves in power.
