Germany bans certain forms of expression, they don’t police thoughts. There is a difference.
@chroma: That’s a form of expression, but you’re not going to run afoul of the law for thoughts in your head, just the ones you share. I don’t mean offense, but I think you don’t actually know what a “thought crime” is. Read 1984, it’s worth it.
- chroma 8y agoYou can't deny the holocaust in Germany. Edit: I'm using thought crime in the sense that Robin Hanson is using in the blog post. He was talking about how certain ideas are legal but subject to extralegal punishments via mob rule.
