Re: Ireland: the police state
“Anarcho-tyranny is a system of government that fails to protect its citizens from violence, while simultaneously persecuting conduct that would typically be regarded as innocent. The experience of living under such a system may be familiar to you, even if the term itself is not.
A state of anarcho-tyranny might, for instance, see career criminals like Jordan McSweeney free to walk the streets of London murdering women, mere days after being released from prison on licence, even while offensive limericks, online poetry and dogs trained to perform comical Nazi salutes are treated with the utmost seriousness by our criminal justice system.”
“The result is a disorientating combination of two different kinds of fear: a fear of rising violent crime, combined with a fear of arbitrary criminalisation, including the criminalisation of citizens who complain about what is being done to them by their governments.
Systems of anarcho-tyranny rely especially on laws that criminalise speech that would ordinarily be regarded merely as rude or controversial.
In Ireland, the Varadkar government is currently fast-tracking just such a law: the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate offences) Bill, which would criminalise any person who “prepares or possesses material that is likely to incite violence or hatred against a person or a group of persons on account of their protected characteristics”.”
