Freedom of expression under threat:
Theuninck treats freedom of expression as a fundamental right in danger, stifled by political correctness and the fear of economic or social repercussions.
The manipulation of the Overton window: Theuninck is interested in how the media and politicians deliberately shift this "window" to make previously unthinkable ideas acceptable, while simultaneously criminalizing long-held beliefs.
By incorporating the sociological concept of the Overton Window, it illustrates how society gradually slides toward accepting thought control measures without citizens realizing it
Sono ancora sotto choc dopo l'assassinio di Theo Van Gogh nei Paesi Bassi. Quest'assassinio dimostra la precarietà dell'Europa dove la libertà di espressione è sempre più in difficoltà e dove ho constatato, da anni, una crescita di odio ideologico. Coloro che si spartiscono il potere stanno mettendo la popolazione di fronte a un dilemma la cui soluzione sarà disastrosa per ognuno.(Jan Theuninck, 29.11.2004)

This assassination demonstrates the precariousness of Europe, where freedom of expression is increasingly under threat and where I have witnessed, for years, a growth in ideological hatred.

Die Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit geht immer einher mit politischer Verfolgung, denn nur durch Repression kann durchgesetzt werden, dass bestimmte Meinungen nicht mehr geäußert werden. (Hans-Georg Maaßen, Oct.24, 2025)

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
