2017: when mean words can land you in jail, wrongthink is about to be a crime, free speech and the ACLU is white supremacy(1), and possibly the first time in history when a man breaking a woman's skull with his fist is OK(2).

2) of course it's ok, it's a sport? Injuries happen in sports. Particularly violent ones. Myke Tyson would probably break my skull as well if I was ever so dumb to get in the ring with him. There aren't only two genders just look at Caster Semenaya https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jul/29/what-is-an-int... or look at this mess (and that's only part of it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite#Humans

The article is about a proposed change of law in the UK. Your commentary about the US seems rather off-topic.

Well, through Five Eyes and other partnerships, this would be enforced with the US's cooperation and support.

That said, politics in the West, and even globally, have become increasingly interconnected. These trends and topics I mentioned are not isolated to the US at all.

You have a point though, so I edited my comment.
