Whitest Kids U Know: It's illegal to say...

Why it was recommended

> I'm afraid you can't buy a copy of the Glorifying Terrorism SF anthology (it's out of print, and not going to be reprinted or published as an ebook any time soon, because of the ongoing VATMESS headache) I wonder if in this day and age a 500-year old book like "Vindiciae contra tyrannos" ( [LINK] ) would land his/her author in jail. I suppose it would. And I cannot remember the exact title, but there were books similar with this one, written at about the same time, which were advocating for even more drastic measures: i.e. the assassination of the tyrant/king. Anyway, in the US it has been illegal for some time to say "I want to kill the President of the United States of America" ( [VIDEO] ), the UK had remained one of the few countries where a liberty of speech "loophole" was still in place. Sad to see it gone.
