I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.
Gary Neville is a multi-millionaire who lives a celebrity lifestyle and doubtless resides in a gated community far away from the oiks. Like many of his ilk, he likes to signal his virtue - “Oh, aren’t I so much more enlightened than the masses?” - by expressing his luxury beliefs. So when he condemns ordinary ‘white’ people for displaying patriotic sentiment after years of being sneered at and vilified, we should pay him precisely the attention he deserves. None.
@WestHam Who gives a toss about the bloke’s skin colour?
Considering how you lot have started the season - I’d suggest focusing less on the diversity BS, and more on stringing together an acceptable performance or two.
What a mad idea that is for a football club.
