Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

I haven't read it, but I understand the premise. I realise the person who voices the sentiment in the title literally has no mouth but must scream, but I feel like it could apply figuratively. Like "I have no mouth because the State took my ability to communicate online, and I want to rage about the way things are going, now that they finally affect me, but I have no means to do so." Like it's saying, speak up while you still can. I might be missing some nuance from the story, but again, I haven't read it.
Wikipedia says it's only 6500 words, so it would not take long to read it. The short story the film Predestination is based on is shorter or about the same length. The short story the November Rain video is based on (Without You by... I forget the guy's name...) is about that same length. I can read those in under 10 minutes.
