Absurd Censorship of Art Attempted by Tyranny

            UPDATE / 🆕 :

I was told this morning that the government WITHDREW the article 8 of the said law thanks to the protesting artists’ widespread outcry against it 😊

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can €40-million-worth propaganda alter human perception of common sense?

The Greek government recently promulgated an “Act” (not voted by parliament at first, but merely signed by Cabinet Members instead) to abolish the freedom of speech regarding any constructive criticism for using RNA as antigen in vaccines (instead of using proteins); whoever publicly speaks so faces imprisonment of two years.

Now, the same government is about to pass a law censoring Art, too: if an artwork is imbued by a creative idea not abiding by the establishment's official doctrine, then it will be considered as a criminal offense (and the artist will be prosecuted).

“Donkeys do fly,” according to a saying in modern Greek, whenever the tyrant commands so… One looks forward to also hearing the government ordering water to flow upwards! 

The freedom of thinking is next in line to be attacked by the tyranny-ready technological surveillance infrastructure.
