Just a Fancy Word

Western democracies always speak about freedom of expression. They say it’s a basic right and a sign of a free society. But in reality, they don’t  respect it. In this way, they are not very different from third-world countries or dictatorships.The only difference is how they limit this freedom. Dictatorships use force and fear in a very obvious and old-fashioned way. On the other hand, Western democracies use more "smart" or modern methods. I always remember this strange fact when I see what happens between the U.S. government and universities. It feels like we are all working for the same goal — to silence voices — just with different tools.
