Why Australia Kicked Out Djokovic

Laura Perrins writes here that the Australian government’s reason for forcing tennis star Novak Djokovic to leave wasn’t that he was a medical threat to the populace. No, it was because the officials thought that his views were dangerous. He voiced support for freedom of choice and tyrants just can’t allow such people to infect the people with ideas that could undermine their carefully laid plans for social control.

The Soviets kicked Alexander Solzhenitsyn out for the same reason back in 1974. Dissent is not to be tolerated.
