When you really think about it, you realise there’s a direct connection between warfare and free speech.
What’s unsettling is how, on social media right now, boundaries are being pushed and tested. In both World Wars, certain books were censored and even burned. It feels like the same pattern is repeating—just as free speech is being challenged, so are the boundaries in war. Since this surge in free speech debates, we’ve seen conflicts like Ukraine vs. Russia and Israel vs. Iran unfold, with tensions rising on both fronts.
It’s as if the more the limits of what can be said are tested, the more conflict arises globally, and one seems to reflect the intensity of the other.
