So countries aren't hiding that they're silencing people anymore I guess.
This isn't a new thing. If anything, our expectations that these sorts of voices won't be silenced is what's new
Have they ever?
A lot better than they are now. There used to be some mystery to being fucked by your country.
The J Edgard Hoover writing to MLK that he should off himself kind of mystery?
Welcome to the rules based world order everybody.
Wow the cybertruck is huge! How are you supposed to park that thing?
"Upon the corpses of your enemies," is what an edge lord cyber truck owner would say.
I push a Rav4 hybrid, just FYI.
The Caledonians must feel safer already when TikTok is banned.

From an outsiders view this seems like a really strange affairs. So immigrants living there for 25 years aren't allowed to vote in regional (?) elections so that the natives can easier secede which they didn't partly because they didn't participate in the vote? Or would this create the same backlash when tourned around and immigrants in France couldn't vote?
But he added: "The unrest of the last 24 hours reveals the determination of our young people to no longer let France take control of them."
I don't doubt he's right but I find it fascinating that those young people are essentially rioting to not be allowed to vote.
That's completely inaccurate. They are rioting so that immigrants from mainland France will not be allowed to vote.
Did you read the article? The change being made is that the voter eligibility list hasn't been updated in 25 years. Yes that means recent "immigrants" from France (New Caledonia is France, at least for now) can't vote.
It also means people under 40 can't vote...
If you work for the state and participate in silencing people you are traitor to your felllow man, your neighbors, your community.
