totalitarianism advances in European Union with extra-judicial personal sanctions | Eastern NC Now

In Stalin's Russia an enemy of the state would be made a "non-person".  The rulers of today's European Union, longtime enemies of free speech and freedom of expression, now have their own way of doing that. Since the American left is prone to copy things done by European authoritarians, we had better keep a close eye on what is happening.

The EU and some of its more globalist member states have long used things like "hate speech" diktats to suppress free speech.  Call an inept politician a moron in Germany, and you will find yourself facing criminal charges.  As a feminist leader in France, calling for private spaces for biological women, and you will find yourself facing criminal charges. As a member of parliament in Finland, post a Bible verse online, and you will find yourself facing criminal charges.

Europeans have testified before the US Congress on how the European Union is trying to export its censorship and suppress free speech by  Americans.

Now they have come up with something worse, extra-judicial personal sanctions.  If you are hit with one of these from the bureaucracy, there is no judicial appeal.  Your bank accounts, social media accounts, and jsut about every aspect of your life are frozen.  Businesses are not supposed to deal with you, even to sell you food.  This is the reality of the modern day EU authoritarian state.  Some years ago, Hungarians started calling the EU the "EUSSR".  They may have hit on something.
