One Step Across the Line

Be mindful, be careful, for free speech may land you in word-jail. Contrary counter-points are now deemed suspiciously reactionary. What was good and right yesterday is slur and defamation today. Agree, then do the opposite. Play the game but find a covert way to cheat. You must cross the line one step at a time. Thoughts are now monitored by digital watch dogs remember this is not your father's line this is a new line they drew to pen you in more tightly.
