Agreed. And there ARE consequences, which is as it should be.
Even in Voltaire's day where seditious beliefs were mostly committed to pamphlet or cartoon, you ran the risk of execution for lampooning the Royals...funny to see how priorities shift, the Royals are absolute fair game nowadays
And interesting to see that cartoonists still run the risk of fatal repercussion.
