Ireland's Green Party Sen. Pauline O'Reilly: 'We Are Restricting Freedom For The Common Good'

Caveat: this video is about five months old. But it's popping back up on Twitter/X again because things in Ireland have been very tense. Here's some background: right before Thanksgiving, a lone 40-something man stabbed a woman and several children in Dublin. Angry Irish citizens rioted, ostensibly about the country's immigration policies, saying enough was enough. Rather than addressing the issues of immigration, and the stabbing, Irish politicians have focused on the real problem: free speech. Censoring it, of course, is for the 'greater good.' Freedom is the ultimate common good. This woman is stupid and arrogant enough to think that if she switched it from "the greater good" to "the common good," that we wouldn't know what she was aiming for… We all know.
