Climate change deniers are the biggest bootlickers, like they're literally in the lap of oil tycoons and then act as though you're the sheep

 

[Diamona]

Oh wow, is it really possible to talk about this chapter without bringing up politics?
Um, murder is illegal, and if you live in society while being protected by the rules, you shouldn't attempt to escape punishment for breaking them. Drink the hemlock.

Next time when I find someone on internet saying "I'm just stating my opinion" while being extra rude, I'll give them link to this chapter instead.

On another note, Ellie!

You're free to have opinions.

And other people are free to have opinions on your opinions, also known as 'consequences'. Some form their opinions around what they want to believe is true, some around objective proven facts that have visible real world ramifications.

I guess some people see that as politics but to me it's just common sense.

My problem with this, is that Shinra deduced this way for him entering when he never asked if, at closing time, they checked the back storage door, because the culprit could have easily came in through the main entrance, went in the back when no one was looking, and opened the storage door from inside, hiding behind the door until after closing time while holding the door open. The only evidence against this is the statue of the globes falling over, which could have easily been caused from a gaurd accidentally bumping into it and it fell over after a few minutes or so when he forgot about it.

Not all free countries guarantee free speech to the degree implied. Many European countries ban Holocaust denial, many also ban blasphemous speech. "Hate speech" is also banned in many jurisdictions. The dissemination of creative works is also variable: France attacks all photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night in the country. Defamation is both easier to claim and more likely to be a crime rather than a civil dispute in Europe; it is bad enough in the UK that a US law was passed to prevent US courts from complying with many UK libel claims. And that is in Europe, which is still pretty good. In Asia, Africa, and LA many countries have freedom of expression in their constitution but do not actually hold to that; China, of all places, claims to guarantee freedom of speech.

Oddly, Australia does not guarantee freedom of expression. Limited freedoms are a part of common law and Australia is decent on the issue (fairly bad for the Anglosphere, though), but it isn't explicitly guaranteed.

Once again we are reminded how we can be wiser just from reading manga.

@gormadoc I always see western (USA and Europe) as a bastion of free speech, so its sad to see in recent years they're becoming more authoritarian. Like if western like that, could you imagine other countries like?

2019... the poor kids have been in high school since the 2000s 15+ years I guess .
But yes it is a sad state of affairs that countries everywhere are turning toward 'strong men' /populist agenda politicians. The US, many European countries who had become democracies also returning to authoritarianism. SEA countries are also not immune from this.
