Strange coincidence that they who seek to stifle speech would stifle breath, learning, hope as well?

Is it strange coincidence that they who seek to shut down speech with which they disagree would also seek to muzzle breath, and learning, and ultimately, hope?

That they insist on muzzles?

That they insist that children may not learn?

That they police the words and deeds of others, seeking to topple, punish and destroy?

Is it mere coincidence, or gravest danger?

Are they the very beasts they fear?
