What exactly is your point here? "As long as there was some place and time in history where things were even worse than now, nobody should complain"?

I lived through the whole 80s, just not in the US. Trust me, they were an absolute bliss compared to the situation now. The intolerance and oppression of free speech in recent years is far, far worse than at any other point of time in the last 40 years.
