Thoughtcrime Laws in Our Future
It is established liberal dogma that
no right is unlimited. And ultimately that means none is really a right,
because those who make law get to decide what a reasonable limit is to the
right. Or a judge appointed and approved of by them gets to decide. And neither
of them are going to make law and declare the law they made unreasonable, so
whatever they decide to do will be defined by them as reasonable, and therefore
legal.
So there is no real Constitutional
barrier even to thoughtcrime laws: Legislative bodies can outlaw thoughtcrime
just the same as they outlaw so-called assault weapons, and liberal judges will
back them up. All it will take is enough people being talked into supporting
thoughtcrime laws, and given what's happening these days I don't think that'll
be all that difficult.
Imagine the kind of thoughtcrime
enforcement imposed on communities like Facebook and in schools by way of PC
codes being enforced by real police and prosecuted in real courts. The way
things are going this really could be in our future. Or more likely our
children's future.
