"...any other opinion than that of the State"
I still get amused at the hundreds, if not thousands of voices screaming all across the planet about how dissent is being suppressed in the U.S.
In the age of the internet, all of us have the power to make our voices heard around the world. It used to be said that freedom of speech belonged mostly to those who owned printing presses. Not any more.
You're missing a very big forest by focusing on one bush.
