    Either way Geert wins.
    1 - He is let go and the Showtrial is shown as a sham.
    2 - He is fined and goes to jail for a year, and is prisoner of conscience punished for exercising free speech, proving his point of view.

    Show trials do not work unless you shoot the person at the end of the trial and I have no doubt that their are countless people who would love to do that.

    Pity there's such a spoiled little brat at the heart of it, though.

    Yes.

    Freedom is the freedom of spoiled people and brats to live life in a manner that suits them and does not unduly harm others.

    The classical liberal defended heroes and oppressed majorities from undemocratic elites. The modern liberal must defend unpopular people and minorities from democratic majorities.
