“Freedom of speech”. This contentious combination of scribbled visuals and vertebrate vocalizations varying throughout globalized groups of grown gorillas has been an agent of domestic conflict in contemporary countries since the Enlightenment Era.

offers, and thus perform a self-censorship to keep themselves content. Through the firemen (which in, all of reality, are rarely utilized) enforce this dogma by burning books of those who dissent from the mass belief.
