If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Language is a form of resistance—and therefore can threaten authoritarians, who manipulate language to distort reality and erase inconvenient truths. Little wonder that Hong Kong authorities are now targeting Cantonese. On the shut down of @gongjyuhok:

"Glory to Hong Kong" was created and popularised during the city's 2019 pro-democracy protests

The song was no longer available on Spotify or iTunes as of Friday, though several versions are still available on YouTube

Hong Kong's juvenile political prisoners have become the latest experiment in China's efforts at thought control, through a deradicalization program that has expanded since 2021. We spoke to 10 prisoners and two former CSD officers to detail the program: https://t.co/EA22d4pXWH

The UK is proud to have welcomed 144,500 people from Hong Kong since our BN(O) visa launch 2 years ago.

Hong Kong is putting jailed protesters through a so-called “deradicalization” program designed to “enhance their sense of national identity.” But they won't release the materials they use, claiming disclosure “would harm or prejudice Hong Kong’s security." https://t.co/zr2dNUlEYU
